622　I wasn't listening 我根本就没在听

A local cable-news crew came to interview me in my job as a coordinator for a country victim/witness-assistance program. I called my mother, told her the broadcast time, and asked her to give me her take on the show. She was very excited about her daughter being on TV. Later, my mother phoned and said, “It was just on and you looked so cute!” “Great, Mom,” I replied, “But did I sound professional, like I knew what I was talking about?” “Gee, I don't know,” she said. “I wasn't listening.”

我们当地的有线电视台新闻节目组采访了我这个乡村受害人/证人互助团体协调人。我打电话给我妈，告诉她节目播出时间，让她帮我看看有什么缺点。她对于女儿上电视颇为兴奋。后来，她打电话给我说：“刚播完。你看着那么好看。”我说：“太好了。不过，我说的是不是很专业？好像我懂得我在说些什么？”她说：“啊呀！我不知道。我根本就没在听。”
