Brian:yeah, I can feel that, that's so……
Nikky:but On the other hand, I think that situations like this can brin
g out the best in people(越是到危难,越是显现人性的美好). I have read, for e
xample, that during the blitz(闪电战) in London, during World War II, that m
ental health was at an all-time high. The depression almost disappeared, anx
iety disappeared. So in the face of that kind of threat, sometimes that can
bring out the best in people.
Brian:and a whole lot of New Yorker's extremely calm is a sign, right?
Nikky:yeah
Brian:but I still doubt that
Nikky:doubt what
Brian:doubt the pain that the Americans are suffering
Nikky:surely we are suffering from those planes hitting the buildings a
nd Pentagon(五角大楼) and the people we lost but we must find some way into
balance(找到内心平衡点).
Brian:balance with the pain of the horror of these deaths?
Nikky:u can say that(口语常用:你说的对)
Brian:you know, fear, there are several stages that people go through.
First, shock, then helplessness(无助) , then panic , Then, people start to g
et angry, I mean the first impression I got on the tv, that most Americas we
re desperately shocked at the very beginning.
Nikky:we're shocked, I think any nation, any nation in this world will
be shocked by this despicable(卑劣的) acts, but u can still see that we were
connected too, the firemen(消防员), the metro(口语:地铁) doctors and gover
nment, we're well connected(我们团结在一起).
Brian:right, what u think of your president. W. Bush , what did the nor
mal Americans think of him after the attack(注:想听听一个普通美国人对总统的
看法)
Nikky:well, he sort of(注:sort of用在这里从语法上看是不好解释的,干脆就
不用解释了,美国人很喜欢在口语中夹杂sort of、kind of、kinda等用法) young but
no lack of poised knack(表现很镇定,地道美语用法。想想我们说镇定该怎么说呢)
, he did everything he can do and made the right decision for the American p
eople even there's no precedent(9.11确实在美国历史上没有先例) for this.
Brian:who wants this kind of precedent for this, no wonder that his sup
porting rate(支持率)surfs in the recent months.
Nikky:he is good guy, cuz his father is a good guy, people generally th
ink that if his father is a good guy, he will be a good guy too , just like
his father, u know , like father, like son(有其父必有其子,一般美国人都认为老
布什是个好人,很得民心,这也对小布什巨大的无形资产).
Brian:both from Yale(耶鲁大学)
Nikky:Brian, u know what, u really know a lot of America politics
Brian:u are flattering me(过奖了), nikky
复习一下语言点:
Like father, like son
His supporting rate(支持率)surfs(飚升) in the recent months
What u think of your president. W. Bush , what did the normal Americans
think of him after the attack(听听一个普通美国人对总统的看法,美国人一般都喜
欢谈论有关总统的事情,你不信可以试试)
