PETS-2每日對(duì)話練習(xí) 205

字號(hào):

Aduh: And then poor whites, blacks and women got the right to vote. I know.
     Linger: But... politicians started saying what people wanted to hear, and then just ignored them.
     Aduh: Exactly. So nothing really changed with the vote.
     Linger: Today's worse. President Bush didn't really win the election.
     Aduh: I heard about that. It's some kind of big conspiracy, right?
     Linger: Yep. His brother, the governor of Florida, helped make him president.
     Aduh: You and I totally agree.
     (續(xù)上期,下期續(xù))
    阿 德:接著貧窮的白人、黑人和女人才有權(quán)利投票。這我知道。
    亞曼達(dá):但……政客開(kāi)始說(shuō)些人們想聽(tīng)的話,然后就不理他們。
    阿 德:沒(méi)錯(cuò)。所以投票其實(shí)沒(méi)什么改變。

    阿 德:我有聽(tīng)說(shuō)。這是某種大陰謀,對(duì)吧?
