今天的这段对话，在讨论喜剧演员，
你最喜欢的喜剧演员是谁
来听今天的讲解:
A: Alright, we've been watching some comedy lately. I wanna know who your favorite comic is?
我们最近看了几部喜剧。你最喜欢的喜剧演员是谁？
B: My favorite comic? It's a draw between Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock.
我最喜欢的喜剧演员？戴夫·查佩尔和克里斯·洛克。
A: Is Chris Rock really like, is he still doing something?
克里斯·洛克还有在活动吗？
B: No, he really hasn't done anything recently, but still like, yeah, he's pretty, a pretty funny guy.
没有，最近他没推出什么作品，不过他仍然是非常有趣的人。
A: He it totally funny.
他真的特别搞笑。
B: He's hard to top.
很难有人超越他了。
A: When is the last time he was totally working a lot, though?
他上次说脱口秀是什么时候？
B: It's gotta be maybe five years ago.
应该是五年前了。
A: Yeah, it's been awhile.
嗯，有一段时间了。
B: Yeah. Now he's like... I don't even know what he does anymore. Maybe he's an actor now.
对。现在他……我都不知道现在他在做什么。他可能去演戏了。
A: He's flipping burgers.
也许他去快餐店工作了。
B: Yeah, he has to feed his family.
嗯，毕竟他要养家。
A: Yeah, what about Dave Chappele? What's his deal? He's kind of?
对，戴夫·查佩尔呢？他怎么样？他的情况呢？
B: Dave Chapelle?
戴夫·查佩尔吗？
A: He's still working?
他还在说脱口秀吗？
B: Yeah. Maybe. He was really popular a couple of years ago when he was doing the Chapelle Show, a couple of his stand-ups came out, but...
对，可能吧。几年前他非常受欢迎，当时他在做《查佩尔脱口秀》，出了几部单口喜剧，不过……
A: Is that finished?
那个节目完结了吗？
B: He...which?
他……哪个？
A: The Chappelle Show.
《查佩尔脱口秀》。
B: It's taking a break or something. What I heard was that he went crazy and he like checked himself into an insane asylum.
节目可能是暂停之类的。我听说他疯了，住进了精神病院。
A: For serious. For real.
真的吗？
B: Like all the pressure from work was getting to him and stuff. Like he just wanted break.
好像是他承受了太多的工作压力。他只想休息一下。
A: That's so amazing.
这太不可思议了。
B: Or he ran off to Africa or something.
还有人说他逃到非洲去了。
A: You know what, that is just incredible because, it's like you know, the whole grass is greener concept. It's like, you think if you're a comedian and you're making people laugh all day and you're on stage and you're laughing too that you're probably having fun but at the end of the day, I guess work's work.
这真是难以置信，这就是不满足于现在的情况。喜剧演员是让人们发笑的人，他们在舞台上表演的时候也会大笑，好像很开心，但实际上每天结束后，对他们来说这其实就是工作。
B: Yeah, work's work and he was doing, like he mentioned in stand-up he was working maybe 16, 18, 20 hours a day.
对，工作就是工作，就像他在单口喜剧里说的那样，他一天要工作16或18个小时，甚至是20个小时。
A: Really!
真的吗？
B: Yeah, so even like hard to study...
对，要努力研究……
A: What was he doing for 20 hours a day?
他一天20个小时都干什么？
B: Uh, like just doing his show. Like I guess it takes a lot of preparation and...
做脱口秀。我想可能需要进行大量的准备工作……
A: That's crazy.
这太疯狂了。
B: Even with all the help in the world, I guess he's still, you know, you have to make it quality, so it takes time and effort.
虽然有其他人的帮助，我想他可能仍要花大量的时间，付出很多努力才能保证节目的质量。
A: Yeah.
对。
B: So, even if it is comedy, it might not be fun twenty hours a day.
即使是做喜剧，也不可能一天24小时都开心。
A: I guess that's like the funny thing, you just think if someone's a comedian, it just all comes naturally. It's like it all just comes spur of the moment, but I guess the real thing is that a lot of work goes into it.
一般人们认为对喜剧演员来说，讲出搞笑的事情很正常。他们能在一瞬间想到这些点子，但其实为了做出节目他们有许多工作要做。
B: Yeah, I think so. Like to be creative on a consistent basis is probably isn't the easiest thing in the world.
对，我也这么认为。要一直保持创造力并不是容易的事情。
A: Yeah. I think so. It sure is for me anyways. Are you a Seinfeild fan?
对，我同意。对我来说就是这样。你喜欢看《宋飞正传》吗？
B: Seinfeild...
《宋飞正传》……
A: Not really. I'm reading your body language.
看来你不太喜欢，我可以从你的身体语言上看出来。
B: No, I did watch a few episodes, here and there, when it was on TV and I was bored, but...
肯：那部剧在电视上播出时，我无聊的时候断断续续地看过几集，不过……
A: You're not a big fan?
你并不是很喜欢？
B: Like I started watching it after the show ended like you know when everybody was watching the season finale, like I had never really regularly watched the show and I didn't even catch the season finale, but so, me friends were like, "Did you watch it? Did you watch it?" and I'm like, "No."
我在那部剧完结以后才开始看，当时所有人都看了结局，可是我基本上还没怎么看过，而且我也没有看结局，我朋友问我你看结局了吗？你看了吗？我回答他说没有。
A: I think it's brilliant. I think it's incredibly brilliant.
我认为那部剧很精彩，非常非常精彩。
B: Yeah, it's a good show.
对，那是部好剧。
A: Yeah.
对。
