美语咖啡屋 Lesson 23: DC Politics & Culture
Y: 各位听众好! 我是杨晨! 欢迎您到美语咖啡屋。
J: Hello, I'm Jody. Welcome to American Cafe! Yang Chen, that is a great outfit! You certainly have an eye for fashion. Hey, speaking of fashion have you ever thought about how fashion is connected to politics and society.
Y: 时装和政治的关系?我从来没想过。
J: I never thought about it until I spoke to a woman named Tina. She's lived in Washington, D.C. for many years and she studied fashion.
Y: Tina在华盛顿住了多少年?
J: Let's hear Tina as she answers the question, "How long have you lived in Washington, D.C.?"
Tina: Seven administrations.
Y: Interesting! 她没有说她在华盛顿住了多少年,而是说Seven administrations就是七届政府的意思。哇,她可真是个见过世面的人啊。
J: Oh, I bet she has. And with her background in fashion, Tina has a really interesting view of D.C. that involves the connection between politics, society and fashion.
Y: 说起fashion来,这当然是我最喜欢谈论的题目之一。不过政治和时装真的有那么大关系吗?
J: Oh, let's hear from Tina as she compares the Democrats and the Clinton administration who she feels are more hip, more liberal, with the more conservative Republican Party.
Y: Jody, 你刚才说的hip, 你能给听众解释一下这个好吗?
