美語情景對話 第1222期:How much TV do you watch? 你花多長時間看電視?
Hanna: Hi, I'm Hanna from Australia.
漢娜：嗨，我是漢娜，來自澳大利亞。Diego: I'm Diego from Mexico.
迭戈：我是迭戈，來自墨西哥。Hanna: And today we're going to be talking about how much TV do you watch? Diego how much TV do you watch?
漢娜：今天我們要討論的是，你花多長時間看電視？迭戈，你花多少時間看電視呢？
Diego: I don't watch a lot of TV any more but when I was a kid I used to watch six hours a day, it was ridiculous.
迭戈：我現在已經不常看電視了，不過我小時候每天會看六個小時的電視，那真是很荒唐。Hanna: Six hours a day? You must have square eyes or something.
漢娜：每天六個小時？你的眼睛一定變方了。Diego: Yeah, I'm actually glad I don't wear glasses as of today, but yeah I would finish school and then go home at around two, three, have lunch and then I would watch TV for a long time. I would do my homework in the middle of it or I would do my homework while watching TV and then I would go to bed. So I think for like four years I watched plenty of TV. How about you?
迭戈：嗯，其實我很高興我直到現在都沒有戴眼鏡，以前我每天放學回到家的時間大概是下午兩三點，吃完午飯後我就會看很長時間的電視。我會在看電視的間隙寫作業，或者一邊看電視一邊寫作業，然後上牀睡覺。我想在四年的時間裏我經常看電視。你呢？Hanna: I don't really watch much TV. Maybe when I was twelve or thirteen in junior high school I used to watch a bit of TV but ever since then I wasn't really interested in it. I watch a lot of YouTube though which is sort of like TV but I find I don't like advertisements on TV and I get bored sitting thru them and just go off and do something else.
漢娜：我不太常看電視。也許在我十二、三歲上初中那會兒，我有時會看電視，不過從那以後我就不喜歡看電視了。我經常在Youtube網上看視頻，雖然那和電視有點兒像，不過我不喜歡電視上的廣告，坐在那裏看廣告會讓我感覺無聊，我會失去興趣，轉而去做其他事情。Diego: Yeah, I think the internet's replacing TV. So I think the question should be how much internet TV do you watch?
迭戈：嗯，我認爲網絡會取代電視。所以問題應該是你花多少時間看網絡電視？Hanna: Yeah, well I watch a little bit of that.
漢娜：對，網絡電視的話，我會看一會兒。
