k:hey, Jimmy, you've been sitting in front of the TV all day. Anything interesting on TV?
J: not really. Quite boring right now, actually. Mostly infomercials and public serveice announcements.
K: why don't you turn off the TV and get outside? You need to get some fresh air.
J: I know, I know.But my favorite show is on in a couple of minutes. It's the series finals, and I wouldn't miss it for the world!
K: Really? What's the series about?
J: well, it's about how an immigrant girl achieve her dream in America. It's a sitcom but really quite smart and really funny. I think you'd like it.
K: it sounds interesting, but I am not a big fan of TV shows. They're time consuming and don't have much depth.
J: I believe some shows are quite informative and interesting. Take this show for example, it examines American xenophobia and how it might conflict with
the American dream, with hilarious results.
K: really? that's interesting!
J: yeah.Oh, here it comes! why don't we watch it together? they are going to have a court debate in this episode. It should be good.
K: OK, I'll give it a go.
喂,吉米,你在電視機(jī)前坐了一天了,電視上有什么有意思的節(jié)目嗎?
沒有啊.其實(shí)現(xiàn)在挺無聊的,凈是長篇的購物廣告和公共服務(wù)通知.
那位什么不把電視關(guān)了出去走走呢?你需要呼吸點(diǎn)新鮮空氣.
知道了知道了.不過我最喜歡的節(jié)目幾分鐘后就要開始了,是這部戲的大結(jié)局,我無論如何都不會(huì)錯(cuò)過的.
是嗎?這部戲是關(guān)于什么的呢?
是講一個(gè)移民到美國的小女孩實(shí)現(xiàn)夢想的故事.雖然是情景喜劇,可是拍的很有內(nèi)容也很有意思.我覺得你可能會(huì)喜歡.
聽起來挺有意思.不過我不太喜歡看電視劇,我覺得電視劇花太多時(shí)間,而且沒有深度.
我認(rèn)為有一些節(jié)目的信息量還是挺大的,也挺有意思.那這個(gè)電視劇來說,它就審視了美國人對外來移民的抵制心態(tài),還講了這種心態(tài)如何與美國夢之間產(chǎn)生矛盾,以及這種矛盾帶來的
滑稽后果.
真的?聽起來挺有意思的.
是這樣的.哦,開始了,我們可以一起看啊.這一集里他們要在法庭上辯論,應(yīng)該挺好看的.
好的,那就看看吧.
