Hello, everyone! Welcome to my channel. I’m Lizzy. Good morning!

大家好~ 欢迎来到我的频道,我是Lizzy,早上好呀!

Today we are going to learn a dialogue about Protest.

今天我们将要来听一段关于街头抗议的对话。

When you protest something, you go into the streets and show your disagreement.

当你抗议某件事的时候,你会走上街头,表达你的不赞同。

And in today’s dialogue, we’re going to listen to a newscast about American protest.

在今天的对话中,我们将听到一则关于美国公民抗议的新闻报道。

So, let’s see what’s happening.

接下来,就让我们一起来听听看现场发生了什么吧!

「对话文本」

A: This is Action 5 News reporter Sarah O’Connell reporting live from Washington DC where a protest has broken out. Thousands of angry citizens are protesting against the proposed bailout of the auto manufacturing industry! Sir, sir, Sarah O’Connell, Action 5 news. Can you tell us what’s happening?

这是Action 5 新闻记者Sarah O’Connell 从华盛顿爆发抗议现场连线报道。成千上万愤怒的民众抗议骑车制造商拟议的救助计划。先生,先生,我是Sarah O’Connell ,Action 5 新闻频道记者。您能说说现在什么情况吗?

B: Yeah, yeah, we’re here because we feel this is an injustice! The financial irresponsibility of big business has to stop! We’re there to show the government that we don’t like the way that they’re spending our tax dollars!

可以。我们聚集在这是因为我们觉得这个很不公正!对财政不负责的大企业必须制止!我们在这是想向政府申明,我们不喜欢他们这种浪费民众缴纳的税金的行为。

A: Sir but what exactly is making everyone so angry?

先生,究竟是什么让每位民众如此生气呢?

B: It’s an absolute outrage, Sarah, the US government wants to give 25 billion dollars of taxpayers’ money to the auto industry. These are companies that have been mismanaged and are now nearly bankrupt.

非常愤怒,Sarah,美国政府打算将250亿美元的纳税款捐给汽车行业。这些公司管理不善,现在几乎面临破产。

A: I see. But, many supporters of the bailout argue that it could help save the jobs of millions of hardworking Americans.

那我明白了,但是,许多援助的支持者认为这可以保住数百万勤劳的美国人的工作岗位。

B: That maybe true, and I for one don’t want to see anyone lose their job, but how can these CEOs ask for a bailout when they’re making millions of dollars? And then, they have the nerve to fly to Washington in private jets! This costs hundreds of thousands of dollars! And they’re asking for money! That is just not right!

这点或许是对的,我不想看到任何人失去他的工作岗位,但这些CEO们明明赚好几百万,怎么可以申请援助呢?还有,他们居然敢用私人飞机飞往华盛顿!这需要花费几十万美元!然后他们还申请援助!这完全不公平!

A: Good point. This is Sarah O’Connell reporting live from Washington DC, back to you, Tom.

有道理。我是Sarah O’Connell,华盛顿现场报道,镜头交还给Tom.

「重要发音技巧」

Welcome back. Now let’s learn some tips about pronunciation in the dialogue.

欢迎回来,首先我们来学习对话中的一些发音技巧。

1. 辅元连读: 词尾辅音 词首元音

一般情况下,前一个单词词尾为辅音,后一个单词开头为元音,这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。

this is 连起来读文章中:We’re here because we feel this is an injustice.我们聚集在这是因为我们觉得这个很不公正!

broken out 连起来读文章中:This is the report live from Washington DC where a protest has broken out.这是来自华盛顿爆发抗议的现场报道。

tell us 连起来读文章中:Can you tell us what’s happening? 您能告诉我现场是什么情况吗?

2. 叠合: 辅音 辅音如果前一词的结尾是/t//d/,后一词的开头是相同的辅音,则前一词的尾音不发音了。wan(t) to see文章中:I don’t want to see anyone lose their job.我也不想看到任何人失去他们的工作。

3. 失爆: 辅音 辅音词尾辅音 以不同辅音开头的单词:词尾辅音不发音,直接发后一个单词。爆破音发音分成两个阶段:(1)首先是气流受到某种阻碍,然后猛然释放,就像爆破出来一样,故名爆破音;(2)如果前一个单词的结尾是爆破音,后一个单词的开头是另一个辅音,则前一个单词的尾音需要失去爆破。

don’(t) like文章中:We don’t like the way that they’re spending our tax dollars! 我们不喜欢他们这种浪费民众缴纳的税金的行为。

goo(d) point文章中:

Good point!

有道理!

jus(t) no(t) right文章中:

That is just not right!

这完全不公平!
