Conversation Two
W: Good evening, David, I'm so glad to have you here.
M: It's my pleasure. Thank you for inviting me on the show.
W: OK, David, let's first talk about the character you played in The X-Files. (5) The character, whose name is Mulder, is supposed to be a believer. He deals with those unbelievable, wild and often disastrous events.
M: That's true.
W: From what I have read, I know that starting from your childhood, you were always a smart boy, went to the best private school, and were accepted at most of the Ivy League colleges. It's even more surprising when you, who were on your way to a doctorate at Yale, took a few acting classes and got beaten by the book.
M: You bet. (6) My mother was really surprised when I decided to give up all that in order to become an actor.
W: Sure. But talking about Mulder, do you believe at all in real life, the aliens, people from outer space, you know, UFOs, all the things that the TV series deal with?
M: I think they are real. They must be.
W: Are you dark and moody in real life just like Fox Mulder?
M: I think so. I think what they wanted was somebody who could be this hearted, driven person, but also appear normal.
W: (7) Your father and mother divorced when you were eleven. Does that have effect on your life?
M: Yeah, I think that the only way to think of it is that, you know, people are saying (8) "your wound is your goal", you know, "wherever you're hurt, that's where you'll become stronger." So, that's what it's really about...
W: OK. It's time for a short break. We'll be back in a minute.

7. How old was David when his parents divorced?
8. What's the meaning of "your wound is your goal"?
对话二
W: 晚上好,大卫,很高兴你能过来
M: 我很荣幸 。谢谢你邀请我来参加这次的节目 。
W: 好的,大卫,咱们先来谈谈你在《 X 档案》里饰演的角色 。你在《 X 档案》中饰演的角色 Mulder, 是一位忠实的信徒,经常处理一些匪夷所思的、灾难性的事件 。
M: 没错 。
W: 据我所知,你从小就是一个非常聪明的孩子,考上了最好的私立学校,还被常春藤盟校录取 。更让人吃惊的是,听说你在即将考取耶鲁大学博士学位的时候,选修了一些表演课程,进而迷上了这本书 。
M: 的确如此 。而且当我决定要成为一名演员而放弃一切的时候,我的母亲吓了一跳 。
W: 当然了 。不过话说回来,你觉得现实生活中是否存在像Mulder一样的来自外太空的外星人,还有UFO这些经常出现荧幕上的东西?
M: 我觉得这些东西是存在的 。他们一定存在 。
W: 那你是否和角色Fox Mulder一样,经历过失落、困顿的时期?
M: 是的 。我觉得这个角色需要的正是一位既有热心肠和坚韧毅力,外表又很平凡的人 。
W: 听说,父母在你十一岁的时候离婚了 。这件事对你的生活有什么影响吗?
M: 是的,我觉得唯一可以安慰自己的就是人们常说的那句:“你受伤的地方就是你要战胜的目标”,也就是说“在哪里受伤,就要在哪里变得更加坚强 。”所以,事情就是这样了.....
W: 好的,中场休息一下 。观众朋友请不要走开,我们马上回来 。
