今天的这段对话，在讨论电视，

你是看英语电视节目还是看日语电视节目？你认为电视会对人有坏的影响吗

来听今天的讲解:

A: Marika let's talk about television.

茉莉，我们来聊聊电视。

B: OK.

好的。

A: Do you like to watch a lot of TV?

你喜欢经常看电视吗？

B: Yeah, I watch a lot of TV.

是的，我经常看电视。

A: Now you've been in Japan for awhile. Do yo watch TV in English or in Japanese?

你现在在日本已经有一段时间了。你是看英语电视节目还是看日语电视节目？

B: I watch TV in Japanese, but if it's on in English I will watch it in English. Yeah, I'm the same way.

我看日语节目，但如果有英语的我就看英语节目。是的，我也是。

A: Um, how good is your comprehension? How much can you understand?

你的日语对话能力怎么样？你能听懂多少？

B: If it's a drama I can understand most of what's happening, and definitely the story, but if a talk show and there's young people on and there're speaking fast, with a lot of slang, I don't really understand a lot of what they're saying, although I might know what topic they're discussing, I won't know what exactly their stand is.

如果是戏剧，我能看懂，明白故事情节，但如果是脱口秀节目，而且有年轻人在节目上说得很快，用很多俚语，我就不太懂他们在说些什么了。虽然我能大致明白他们所讨论的节目主题，但我不明白他们是什么立场。

A: Do you think that TV is bad for people?

你认为电视会对人有坏的影响吗？

B: Yeah, I think that TV is bad for people. It's really bad.

是的，我认为电视对人会产生不好的影响，很坏的影响。

A:Why?

为什么？

B: Because instead of reading a book or doing something outside, or doing something productive you just sit in front of a TV and absorb bad information or things that don't really help, help you learn anything probably, although Japanese television I think does have a lot of good documentaries and a lot of informative television programs.

因为人们不再读书，进行户外运动，或者做其他富有成效的事，而是坐在电视机前吸收一些没有帮助的信息，吸收那些你学不到任何东西的信息。但我认为日本电视节目中有许多好的纪录片和有意义的电视节目。
