地道美語(yǔ)聽力播客754: 社交受歡迎（雙語(yǔ)）

Rosa: Has the mail come yet? 
羅莎：郵件到了嗎？
Grant: We didn’t get any mail today. 
格蘭特：今天我們沒有收到任何郵件。
Rosa: Damn it! 
羅莎：靠！
Grant: What’s the matter? 
格蘭特：出什么事了？
Rosa: I’m waiting for an invitation from Joanna to her birthday party. I heard that she’s having a big bash and it’s going to be the party of the season. 
羅莎：我在等岳安娜的邀請(qǐng)函，去參加她的派對(duì)。聽說(shuō)她會(huì)有一個(gè)大型聚會(huì)，派對(duì)狂歡季到了。
Grant: You’re worked up over a party? 
格蘭特：你在為一個(gè)參加派對(duì)擔(dān)心？
Rosa: It’s not just any party. It’s the social event of the year. Anyone who’s anybody will be there. If I don’t get an invitation, it means I’ve been snubbed. I’d never be able to live it down. 
羅莎：這不同于以往的派對(duì)，這是今年的社交晚會(huì)，社交圈里所有重要的人物都會(huì)參加派對(duì)。如果我沒有得到邀請(qǐng)，就意味著我被冷落了。那我就永遠(yuǎn)處于窘境了。
Grant: Who is Joanna anyway? She’s just another rich girl, right? 
格蘭特：到底誰(shuí)是岳安娜？她就是一個(gè)富有的女孩，對(duì)吧？
Rosa: No, she’s not. She’s the most popular girl at school and the leader of the in-crowd. If she so much as talks to you, you’re in. But if she gives you the cold shoulder, you’re out. You’re nobody. 
羅莎：不，她不是。她是學(xué)校里最受歡迎的女孩，她是小團(tuán)體的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。如果她與你交談足夠多，你就加入她們了。但是如果她對(duì)你冷談，你就出局了，你一點(diǎn)不重要。
Grant: That’s ridiculous. She only has the power to do that because you all worship her. One of these days, I hope somebody takes her down a peg. 
格蘭特：那很可笑，她有那樣的權(quán)利是因?yàn)槟銈兂绨菟?。總有一天，我希望有人?huì)殺殺她的威風(fēng)。
Rosa: But nobody would dare to go against Joanna. It would be the end of their social life. 
羅莎：沒有人膽敢違背岳安娜，否則就意味著他社交生涯的結(jié)束。
Grant: So what? 
格蘭特：那又怎么樣？
Rosa: So what?! I should know better than to talk about it with a clueless guy! 
羅莎：怎么樣？我應(yīng)該了解不應(yīng)該跟一個(gè)一無(wú)所知的男生談?wù)撨@個(gè)問(wèn)題。
