84. 卢克的英语脑播（与詹姆斯一起）

但是，是的。

But but yeah.

有些人担心会发生恐怖袭击。

Some people are scared that there will be, a terrorist attack.

我不确定是不是害怕，但我认为在一些人眼里，奥运会肯定会被视为目标。

I don't know about scared, but I think it's definitely the Olympics will be a target in some people's eyes.

是的。

Yeah.

所以我相信安保工作会非常繁重，以确保整个活动的安全。

So I'm sure that security will have a lot of work to do to make sure the place the whole thing is safe.

但确实，有些人担心可能会发生恐怖袭击，这种袭击可能来自有组织的团体，比如恐怖细胞——一小群人共同策划，也可能来自单独行动的‘独狼’——一个孤立的人。

But, yeah, some people concerned maybe that there will be some act of terrorism, and either that will come from an organized group of people, like a terror cell, like a small group of people who are together organizing it, or a lone wolf that's like a person on their own.

我不明白他们为什么管这叫很酷，

I don't know why they call it very cool,

不是吗？

doesn't it?

我想当一个独行侠。

I want to be a lone wolf.

你可以的。

You can be.

你只需要自己做点事，就是独行侠了。

All you need to do is do something on your own, and you're a lone wolf.

你是自己一个人来这里的吧？坐地铁来的？

You came here on your own, didn't you, on the underground?

是的，我是。

Yeah, I did.

你就像个独行侠通勤者。

You're like a lone wolf a lone wolf commuter.

是啊，但狼不是会杀人吗？

Yeah, but wolves do, you know, kill things, don't they?

所以

So

你大概也杀过什么东西。

You probably kill something.

我只是一个独自通勤的人。

I was a lone lone commuter.

我不是一只独狼。

I wasn't a lone wolf.

尽管今晚是满月。

Although it is a full moon tonight.

外面的满月真是太美了。

There is it is a fantastic full moon outside.

当然，有个笑话是，我以前是狼人，但现在没事了。

There is that joke, of course, which is, I used to be a werewolf, but I'm alright now.

好的。

Okay.

那我们继续下一个话题吧。

Well, let's go on to the next topic.

我们已经把这一点澄清了。

We've we've cleared that one up.

我们已经谈了奥运会。

We've done the Olympics.

我们基本上不知道该怎么想。

We basically, we don't know what to think.

对我来说，我打算尽量避开奥运会。

I think that for me, I'm going to try and avoid the Olympics really.

我看到一个不错的，抱歉，我只是记得。

I saw a good sorry, just what I remember.

是的，我还没说完我的

Yeah, haven't finished my

好的，继续。

Alright, go on.

我打算避开奥运会，因为对我来说，伦敦市中心本来就已经人满为患、拥堵不堪了，所以我可能会干脆避开，因为我最讨厌的就是夏天被困在挤满人的地铁里，那可能会非常难受。

I'm gonna try and avoid the Olympics because for me, probably the center of London for me is already totally crowded and congested anyway, so I'm probably going to just avoid it because what I hate is in the middle of summer being trapped in an underground train full of people, it could just be really difficult.

我们都清楚游客不知道怎么使用地铁，对吧？

We all know that tourists don't know how to use the underground, right?

比如，你知道的，他们都会沿着那个叫什么来着？

Like, you know, they all sort of walk along the what do you call it?

站台。

Platform.

他们拖着巨大的行李箱在站台上走，然后突然就在站台中间停下来，说：我觉得我先停一下，我不确定该去哪儿，结果整个伦敦都停了。

They walk along the platform with massive suitcases and just sort of stop in the middle of the platform and go, I think I'm just going to stop because I'm not sure where I'm going, and then the whole of London stops.

我和奥利做过一期关于这个的播客，你可能听过。

I did a whole podcast about that with Ollie, which you may have listened to.

没有，没听过。

No, didn't.

最搞笑的是，他们背着巨大的背包上地铁，车门夹住背包，他们就被卡在门口，像只受惊的动物，特别特别好笑。

The best one is when they get on the tube with a massive rucksack on, the tube doors close on their rucksack, and they're basically pinned to the door trapped, like a scared animal and it's very, very funny.

所以我老是干这事，一直干，因为这真的能让我的一天变开心。

So I keep doing that, keep doing that because it really brightens up my day.

有时候你会看到家庭成员走散了。

Sometimes you see families getting separated.

这不好笑。

Not funny.

这真的不好笑。

That isn't funny.

我前几天就看到过。

I saw it the other day.

我看到一个日本家庭在一辆拥挤的地铁车门旁犹豫不决，一半家人上了车，他们喊着‘快上车’，但另一半没赶上。

I saw a Japanese family dithering by the doors of a crowded underground train, and half the family got on the train, and they were like, come on, get on the train, and and the other half didn't manage to get it.

我觉得那是家里的一个孩子，大概是青少年吧。

I think it was like one member of the family, a sort of teenager

一个九岁的小孩。

A nine year old

女儿。

daughter.

一个十几岁的男孩，显然不想上那趟车，太挤了，车门关上后，他被留在外面，而他的家人则消失在地铁系统中。

Teenage guy, obviously going, Oh, don't want get on that train, it's too crowded, and the doors closed, and he was left outside the train while his family just disappeared into the underground system.

他可能还挺高兴的，心想：这下我可以去喝个烂醉什么的。

He was probably pleased because he thought, Now I can go and get pissed or something.

去索霍区然后

Go to Soho and

去索霍区买件英国国旗T恤之类的游客纪念品。

go to Soho and like buy a Union Jack t shirt or some other tourist thing.

总之，别太苛责游客，因为

Anyway, let's not be too down on the tourists because

没错。

No.

我们只是在开玩笑。

We were joking.

这只是一个笑话。

It's just a joke.

游客很好。

Tourists are nice.

我们在伦敦欢迎游客。

We welcome tourists in London.

而且，当我去其他国家时，我也是一个游客，我不希望他们嘲笑我，对吧？

And also, I'm a tourist when I go to other countries, and I wouldn't like them laughing at me, would I?

是的。

Yeah.

我肯定他们确实会笑。

I'm sure they do laugh.

对。

Yeah.

他们很可能确实会笑。

They probably do.

对。

Yeah.

我的意思是，你最近不是去纽约了吗？

I mean, you went to New York, didn't you, recently?

没有。

No.

几年前？

A couple of years ago?

那不是‘是的’。

That's not yeah.

几年前。

A couple of years ago.

那不算最近。

That's not recently.

在你漫长生命的大背景下，算是相当近了。

Fairly recently in the grand scheme of your extremely long life.

好吧。

Alright.

好吧。

Alright.

我觉得这相当

I think it is quite

我最近去了布达佩斯，我们得到了它们。

I went to Budapest recently and we we got them.

我们非常兴奋。

We're so excited.

我们出来了。

We got out.

我们开始拍下一切的照片。

We started taking photos of everything.

我发现自己拍了一辆货车的照片，就是一辆普通的货车。

And I found myself taking a photo of a van, Just an ordinary van.

它没什么特别的。

Didn't have anything special about it.

因为我身在布达佩斯，所以特别兴奋。

Because I was in Budapest, was excited.

我当时就想，哇，看，有一辆货车。

I was like, wow, look, there's a van.

然后我又想，我到底在干什么？

And then and then I was like, what the hell am I doing?

我为什么要给这辆货车拍照？

Why am I taking a photo of this van?

然后我真的觉得，当地人都会想，看那个傻子。

And then I really I bet all the locals are like, look at this idiot

在给货车拍照。

taking a photo of van.

真是个蠢货。

What a dickhead.

但那正是我看到游客时会想的：真是个倒霉蛋。

But that's exactly the kind of thing I see tourists there and go, what a loser.

他为什么拍那辆货车的照片？

Why is he taking a photo of that van?

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

所以我们都会这么做。

So we all do it.

当我们是游客时，我们都挺怪的。

We're we're all weird when we're tourists.

在清单上。

On the list.

是的。

Yes.

女王登基钻禧纪念。

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

女王的钻禧庆典。

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

对。

Right.

所以那是什么时候？

So it was what?

六十年前她成为女王的吗？

Sixty years ago that she became the queen?

她父亲去世了。

Her dad died.

乔治六世国王？

King George the sixth?

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

Yep.

乔治六世去世了。

George the sixth died.

他就是《国王的演讲》里的人物。

He's the guy in the King's Speech.

是由那位去世的女王扮演的吗？

Played by the He Queen of died?

不是科林·费尔斯。

Not not Colin Firth.

他还活着，我想。

He's still alive, I think.

但乔治六世去世了，那就是六十年前的事了。

But King George the sixth died, and so that was sixty years ago.

显然，当他去世时，当时的伊丽莎白公主成为了女王。

Obviously when he died, Queen Elizabeth well, Elizabeth, Princess Elizabeth at the time became Queen.

伊丽莎白二世女王。

Queen Elizabeth the second.

她是最年长的

She was the oldest

因为父亲去世而举办大型派对，听起来有点奇怪。

Sounds to be a bit weird, having a big party because your dad died.

我知道。

I know.

是啊，想象一下你当时会有多么复杂的感受。

It's like, yeah, imagine the mixed feelings that you would have.

今天女王首次戴上王冠，情绪复杂。

Mixed emotions here today as the Queen puts on the crown for the very first time.

但那不是一个非常奇怪的时刻吗？首先，你知道父亲去世了，会感到非常悲伤，但就在那一刻，你又意识到自己已经成为国家的女王了？

Wouldn't it be wouldn't it be a really weird moment though when you know that your your father has died, first of all, you'd feel so upset and sad about that, but then at that moment you'd know that you've become the the queen of the realm?

我想我会想躺在床上

I think I'd wanna stay in bed to

说实话。

be honest.

我不会，我不愿意

I don't I wouldn't

我可不想面对这个想法。

I wouldn't relish that thought.

不。

No.

我想我会感到非常困惑和混乱。

I'd I would feel very confused and and messed up about that, I think.

难怪她是个重度饮酒者。

But No wonder she's such a heavy drinker.

她是谁？

What is she?

这是个

It's a

众所周知的事实。

well known fact.

众所周知的事实。

Well known fact.

她每天差不多十一点半就开始喝雪利酒。

She hits the sherry by about half eleven most days.

我不清楚这一点。

Don't know about that.

到中午时，她已经喝到第二杯或第三杯了。

By midday, she's she's onto a second or third.

你现在是在开玩笑吧，是不是？

You're joking at this point, aren't you?

到了午夜，她就已经醉得不省人事了。

By midnight, she is hammered.

有必要指出的是，你这只是在开玩笑，因为很多听众会想：我根本不知道。

It's important to point out that you're just being humorous because a lot of the listeners will be like, I didn't know.

据说，女王是个酒鬼。

Apparently, the Queen is an alcoholic.

然后这个谣言就会传遍全世界，因为每个人都听卢克的英语播客，甚至世界上的大领导们也在听，我真的很震惊，原来女王喝这么多酒。

And then this rumor will fly around the world because everyone listens to Luke's English podcast, even like the big leaders of the world will be listening to this and I'm shocked that the Queen apparently drinks so much.

这只是一个笑话。

It's just a joke.

对吧？

Right?

巴拉克·奥巴马对她了如指掌。

Barack Obama knows all about her.

他们俩曾经一起喝得大醉。

They got really hammered together.

是吗？

Yeah?

他们喝的是什么？

What were they drinking?

他们喝的是威士忌。

They were drinking scotch.

是吗？

Yeah?

什么？

What?

单一麦芽威士忌

Single malt

苏格兰威士忌，是的。

scotch Yeah.

显而易见。

Obviously.

是的。

Yeah.

奥巴马和女王喝醉了。

Barack Obama and the Queen get drunk.

醉得不省人事。

Wasted.

在喝烈酒。

Doing shots.

是的，而且女王还吸大麻。

Yeah, and then she also smokes pot, the Queen.

她真的吗？

Does she really?

嗯，维多利亚女王确实像你说的那样吸过大麻。

Well, Queen Victoria used to smoke pot, as you say.

我觉得她以前是服用的。

I think she used to take it.

我不确定她是不是抽过，但确实是用于关节炎疼痛之类的。

Don't know if she used to smoke it, but yeah, for arthritis pain or something.

她有痛经和关节炎疼痛。

She had period pains and arthritis pains.

这可能是关于维多利亚女王的那些无聊传闻之一。

It could be one of those Queen rubbish stories Victoria

她显然会使用大麻来缓解经痛之类的不适。

would apparently use cannabis to help her with her period pains and stuff.

但你说的是伊丽莎白一世抽大麻？

But you're saying that Queen Elizabeth the first smoked pots.

是二世。

The second.

你应该说二世。

You should the the second.

不是。

No.

我只是在撒谎。

Just made that I'm lying.

她在开玩笑。

She's joking.

我在撒谎。

I'm lying.

她只是在努力

She's trying

逗人笑。

to be funny.

不管怎样，钻石禧年，你真的在乎吗？

Anyway, Diamond Jubilee, do you really care?

哦，梅尔、埃尔顿·约翰、保罗·麦卡特尼爵士。

Oh, Mel Elton John, sir Paul McCartney.

是的。

Yeah.

还有谁要表演？

And who else is performing?

还有别人吗？

Someone else?

我不知道。

I don't know.

其他的人之一，比如米克·贾格尔爵士？

One of the other ones, like sir Mick Jagger?

不。

No.

他不会的。

He's he wouldn't.

我不知道。

I don't know.

他是爵士，对吧？

He's a sir, isn't he?

他是吗？

Is he?

是的。

Yeah.

尼克·贾格尔的

Nick Jagger's

他是贾格尔，米克·贾格尔爵士。

He's jagger's sir Mick Jagger.

他是一位骑士。

He's a knight.

他是一位骑士。

He's He's a knight.

王国的骑士。

A of the realm.

为了什么？

For what?

为了对儿童性侵的服务吗？

For services to pedophilia or something?

等等，别说了。

Woah there.

这些指控都是从哪儿冒出来的？

Where are all these allegations going from today?

抱歉。

Sorry.

我今天有点无聊。

I'm just bit bored today.

只是想活跃一下气氛。

Just trying to liven out

他是个酒鬼和吸毒者，而那个米克·贾格尔是个恋童癖。

He's an alcoholic and a drug addict, and that Mick Mick Jagger is a pedophile.

哦，他至少做过一次吧。

Oh, come he must have done at least once of

他的某次经历。

his time.

真的吗？

Really?

我觉得我的听众甚至都不知道，比如，夜晚到底是什么样子。

And I think my listeners don't even know what, like, a night is probably.

我应该把这件事说清楚。

I should clear it up.

但到底是什么呢？

What is it though, really?

这到底是什么意思？

What does it mean?

好吧，我会解释一下，因为我以前被人问过这个问题，我也尝试过回答。

Well, I'll explain it because I have tried to answer this question before when people have asked me about it.

每年，女王都会列出一份荣誉名单，这些人都以某种方式为国家做出了巨大贡献。

Every year, the Queen makes a list of honors, and these are people who have contributed a lot to the country in some way.

通常是因为他们为国家创造了大量财富，

Usually it's because they've made a lot of money for

或者以文化使者的身份发挥作用。

the Or cultural ambassador in some way.

基本上就是赚了很多钱的人。

Who basically Make a lot of money.

做出了巨大贡献，因此值得被授予某种头衔。

Have contributed a lot and therefore deserve to be given some kind of title.

有不同的头衔类型，比如OBE，即大英帝国勋章，MBE，大英帝国成员勋章，

And there are different types of titles like OBE, which is Order of the British Empire, MBE, Member of the British Empire,

那CBE是什么？

and I think What's CBE?

我不知道。

I don't know.

我不了解这个。

I don't know that one.

有一个，我们

There is one, We

我们大概可以搜一下。

could probably Google it.

但不管怎样，OBE和MBE是最常见的，而你能获得的最高荣誉是被册封为骑士，通常由女王，有时是查尔斯王子，亲自为你授勋，举行一个隆重的仪式，用剑轻触你的双肩，然后你就成为王国的骑士。

But anyway, OBE and MBE are the most common ones, and then the highest honor that you can be given is to be given a knighthood, and that's when the Queen actually usually the queen, sometimes Prince Charles, actually knights you, so he's kind of does this big ceremony where he places a sword on either shoulder, and then you become a knight of the realm.

但这并不会给你任何特殊权力，对吧？

But that doesn't give you any special powers, does it?

我的意思是，我不太清楚，

I mean, you I can't don't know,

真的不知道。

know really.

这意味着你会因此获得权力吗？

Does that mean you get power and as such.

不。

No.

你只是获得尊重而已。

You just get the the respect.

这有点像赢得了麦克米伦爱情词典奖，嗯。

It's a bit like winning the Macmillan Love Dictionary Awards Mhmm.

最佳博客。

The best blog.

你知道，我实际上并没有获得任何权力。

You know, I don't actually get any power.

没有。

No.

但你得到了一本词典。

But you get a dictionary.

我得到一本词典，还有权利在我的网站上放一个徽章，标明我赢了。

I get a dictionary, and I get the the the right to post know, to put a badge on my site that says that I won.

然后当人们看到这个网站时，他们会说：哦，哇。

And then when people look at the site, they go, oh, wow.

那它一定很不错。

Well, it must be good

如果非要说的话，这比获得大英帝国官佐勋章还好，因为他们可得不到词典，对吧？

if So if anything, it's better than winning an OBE, because they don't get a dictionary, do they?

他们只是得到一些字母后缀而已。

They just get letters after they do.

他们只得到三个字母。

They just get three letters.

而你却得到一本充满单词的字典。

And you get a whole dictionary full of words.

是的。

Yeah.

我会把这本字典送出去。

Which I will be giving away.

打哈欠。

Yawn.

我对此想得太多了。

Been thinking about that too much.

所以，是的，我觉得其实没什么。

So, yeah, I don't think there's really

太多可说的

much to

这说的是

This say, is

年，这像是她的六十周年纪念。

year, it's like her sixtieth anniversary.

我以为你说的是七十周年。

I thought you said it was seventieth.

六十周年。

Sixtieth.

六十周年。

Sixtieth.

好的。

Okay.

六十周年是钻石婚。

Sixtieth is Diamond.

维多利亚女王是在位时间最长的君主。

And Queen Victoria was the longest serving monarch.

嗯。

Mhmm.

但伊丽莎白二世女王也非常接近超越她了。

And but but Queen Elizabeth the second is very close to to beating her.

继续啊，小女王。

Go on, Queenie.

加油啊，莉齐。

Go on, Lizzie.

你能做到的。

You can do it.

她能行的，你还没死呢。

She can make it you're not dead yet.

我们就这样轻描淡写地谈论这个，是不是有点奇怪？

Isn't it weird that we just sort of talk about this as like, yep.

六十年，你知道的，六十年都没死

60, you know, sixty years of not being dead

就是

is what

她在庆祝。

she's celebrating.

她当然不是六十岁，她都八十多岁了。

She's not 60 years old of course, she's like 80 something.

八十个世纪。

80 centuries.

是的。

Yeah.

我计划以后做一期关于王室的完整节目。

I'm planning to do a whole episode about the royal family later on.

我们会再回到这个话题，但今年对王室来说会是重要的一年，会有盛大的庆祝活动。

We'll come back to this subject, but this will be a big year for the royal family, and there's going be a big celebration.

据说泰晤士河上会有非常多船只。

Apparently lots and lots of boats on the River Thames.

这会花更多的钱。

It's going to cost even more money.

是的。

Yeah.

哇哦。

Woo hoo.

接下来是什么？

What's next?

你看了超级碗吗？

Did you see the Superbowl?

美国的超级碗。

The American Superbowl.

我没听清。

I didn't catch that.

我没听清，你说了什么？

I didn't did you

你看了吗？

see it?

没有。

No.

我也没看。

I didn't see it either.

是哪两支队伍？

Who are the teams?

不知道。

No idea.

是新英格兰队。

The new the New England

是纽约纽约娃娃队，对吧？

It's the New York New York Dolls, isn't it?

他们是乐队。

Like, they're a band.

是的。

Yeah.

纽约娃娃队对阵地下丝绒乐队，还有伊吉·波普和红辣椒乐队。

The New York Dolls versus the the Stooges, the Iggy and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

纽约娃娃队对阵红辣椒乐队。

The New York Dolls versus the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

没错。

Yep.

在洋基体育场举行。

And who At Yankee Stadium.

你知道比分是多少吗？

Any idea what the score?

我觉得大概是250比249。

Think it was about 250 to 249.

而且他们有

And they have

第三档进攻十码，约翰·弗里桑特在端区里靠着海洛因昏昏欲睡，球从他头顶飞过。

third down and 10 and John Frisciante in the end zone nodding off on heroin as the the ball comes through.

哦，球从他头顶飞过去了。

Oh, and it sails over his head.

你根本没注意到。

You didn't even notice.

我不懂美式足球。

I I don't understand American football.

嗯，我……

Well, I

我觉得他们把比赛分成了大约18节，可能还更多，以便插入更多广告。

think they they split it up into about 18 quarters and more maybe more to have more fit, more adverts in.

真的吗？

Really?

我就是这么理解的。

That's how I understand it.

超级碗本质上就是关于广告的。

It's basically about adverts, the Superbowl.

我吃着垃圾食品，喝着淡啤酒

I'm eating crap food, drinking weak beer

所以

And so

为一群傻乎乎的

cheering on a bunch of knuckleheaded

还有那些穿着盔甲的、薪水高昂的傻瓜运动员。

And the knuckleheaded, overpaid sportsman in in armor.

是的，穿着防弹衣。

Yeah, in body armor.

我的意思是，说实话，美国的超级碗确实是一场盛大的体育赛事，是全年最大的娱乐盛事之一，在美国以及世界上许多国家都备受关注。

I mean, to be honest, actually, the American Superbowl is a massive sporting event, one of the biggest entertainment events of the year, and it's huge America and in many countries around the world.

现在我们在英国其实不太看美式足球。

Now we in England don't really watch American football very much.

首先，我们称之为美式足球。

First of all, we call it American football.

是的，他们就直接叫足球。

Yeah, they just call it football.

他们叫它足球，对吧？

They call it football, Right?

我们认为他们称它为足球很荒谬，因为他们在比赛中其实很少踢球。

And we think that's ridiculous that they call it football because they don't really kick the ball in the game.

事实上

In fact

球甚至都不是圆的。

The ball isn't even round.

是的。

Yeah.

你根本很少用脚碰球，只有在比赛中偶尔才会。

You you don't even you don't really touch the ball with your feet very much, only sometimes in that game.

显然，我们不喜欢他们称之为足球这一点。

Obviously so we we don't like the fact they call

叫它足球。

it football.

而且他们可以向前传球。

And they can pass forwards.

他们可以向前扔球，等等。

They can throw the ball forwards and everything.

但它是

But it's

而且他们穿着这种衣服，我的意思是，我喜欢足球的地方——不管怎么说，叫它足球也好——就是你可以在公园里用一个球踢。

a And they wear this I mean, what I like about soccer, what they well, bloody whatever, football, is you can play it in a park with a ball.

踢足球所需要的全部东西就是一个球。

All you need to play football is a ball.

是的。

Yeah.

玩美式橄榄球你需要一块巨大的场地，还有一个奇怪的、倒过来的球门装置。

All you need to play American football is a bloody massive pitch, this huge, weird upside down goal thing.

在公园里打美式橄榄球？

Play American football in in a park?

是的。

Yeah.

但不能打完整比赛。

But not the full game.

你没法玩全接触的竞技比赛，因为你会摔断脖子，对吧？

You can't play the full contact sport game because you'd break your neck, wouldn't you?

对。

Yeah.

猜猜看。

Guess.

他们需要全套护具，只是为了踢个简单的球。

They need all that padding just in order to have a little kick around.

你没法随便踢一踢。

You can't have a kick around.

我的意思是，你可以玩触式橄榄球，我想，但那不是真正的比赛。

I mean, you can play touch football, I suppose, but that's not the actual game.

你看过美式橄榄球比赛吗？

Have you ever seen an American football game?

没现场看过。

Not live.

我以前在八十年代的时候还挺关注的。

I used to I used to get into it in the eighties.

那时候第四频道会播放比赛。

They used to show them on channel four.

是的。

Yeah.

还挺有意思的。

And it was quite fun.

我其实挺喜欢运动的。

I quite like sport, actually.

没那么糟。

It's not that bad.

没错。

No.

这很精彩，相当刺激。

It's a good it's quite exciting.

其实很容易取笑，不是吗？我们就是喜欢嘲笑美国人。

It's just quite easy to take the mick out of, really, isn't We just like making Mocking, mocking people for Americans.

而且说实话，我觉得美式足球很可能是一项非常刺激的运动。

And it's you know, to be honest, I think American football is probably a really exciting sport.

我的意思是，看看足球，是的。

I mean, look at football Yeah.

但广告太多了，他们会在球在空中时停下来插播广告。

But the amount of adverts, they're like, we're gonna stop for an ad now while that ball is in the air.

你知道的。

You know?

而且他们总是说，趁着这个时候

And they're like and while they're at

工作。我们刚看了一分钟超级碗，现在是广告时间，来自我们的赞助商。

work We've seen one minute of Superbowl, now it's time for a word from our sponsor.

那是多夫淡啤。

That's Duff Lite.

你知道的，这款啤酒是为你而生的。

You know, this bud's for you.

是的。

Yeah.

还有那些类似的东西。

And the like stuff.

所以，其实这是它的商业本质。

So it's the corporate nature of it, really.

确实是。

It is.

还有所有的尖叫、这一切的无意义，以及那种令人窒息的抑郁。

And all the screaming and this pointlessness of it all and just the the crushing depress depression.

你今天挺消极的。

You're negative today.

你需要放松一点。

You need to lighten up.

要积极一点。

Be positive.

但不管怎样，我们讨论这个的原因是，现在有一些极大的争议。

But anyway, the reason we're talking about it is there's some extreme controversy.

是吗？

Is there?

在这一年中，就在第十三次广告插播的中间，或者不管什么时候，他们会安排一些娱乐内容。

During the year, the middle of the one of the thirteenth ad break or whatever, they have some entertainment.

麦当娜和MIA，或者Mia，不管她

Madonna and MIA or Mia, whatever her

叫什么名字。

name is.

MIA就像是一个

MIA is like a she's a

音乐人。

musician.

泰米尔之虎。

A Tamil Tiger.

她是一位来自斯里兰卡的音乐人。

She's a musician from Sri Lanka.

对吧？

Right?

MIA。

MIA.

是的

Yeah.

在演出进行到一半时，她比了中指。

And halfway through the performance, she flipped the bird.

等等。

Wait.

哇哦。

Woah.

哇哦。

Woah.

哇哦。

Woah.

哦，我们其实已经在另一集中讨论过比中指这件事了。

Oh, we've actually have dealt with flipped the bird in another episode.

这意味着她竖起了中指

That means that she raised her middle Raised

她的中指，所以等等等等。

her middle finger, which So wait wait wait.

麦当娜和MIA在超级碗上表演，是的。

Madonna and MIA performed at the Superbowl Yeah.

在表演过程中，MIA向麦当娜竖起了中指。

And during the performance, MIA raised her middle finger to Madonna.

不。

No.

对我来说不太确定。

To some I'm not quite sure.

我没看到那一段，但她只是把这作为表演的一部分竖起了手指。

I missed that bit, but she just raised it as part of the performance.

哦，所以在表演过程中，她竖起了中指，是的。

Oh, so she during the performance, she raised her middle Yeah.

你可能觉得这没什么大不了的，但显然很多人对此非常不满。

Not that shocking, you might think, but apparently, people are very upset about that.

在美国，你知道，有很多这样的情况，比如

In America, you know, there's a lot of, like

所谓的黄金时段之前的基督徒之类的。

Pre pre watershed Christians and that.

美国人对任何类型的……怎么说呢？

They're they're very sensitive in America about any kind of what's the word for it?

露骨的内容都非常敏感，尤其是像超级碗这种场合，很多美国家庭都会观看，看到MIA竖中指，他们肯定会非常反感。

Explicit stuff, especially on the you can imagine the Superbowl, lots of American families will be watching that, and they'd be very offended by seeing MIA sticking her finger.

那个棕色皮肤的女孩为什么要做这种事？

Why is that brown girl doing that with her finger?

他们不会喜欢妈妈，

They wouldn't like Mommy,

妈妈。

Mommy.

我害怕。

I'm frightened.

我害怕。

I'm scared.

那个来自奇拉克拉的奇怪的棕色皮肤女孩竖起了中指。

The weird brown girl from Chillacra is raising her middle finger.

妈妈，这是什么意思？

Mommy, what does this mean?

没关系，亲爱的。

It's okay, darling.

我要给超级碗官网发一封非常简短的邮件。

I'm gonna write a very terse email to superbowl dot com.

给NFL。

To the NFL.

好的。

Okay.

我们是不是有点刻薄了？

We're being a bit mean, aren't we?

你太疯狂了。

You're being crazy.

这有点粗俗。

It's a bit crass.

不管怎样，超级碗是个大事件。

Anyway, but the Superbowl is a big event.

而且米娅竖起中指真的有关系吗？

And does it matter that MIA raised her middle finger?

嗯，我觉得这并不是

Well, I don't think it's

只是巧合，她的新单曲今天发布了。

just coincidence, her new single's out today.

哦，所以这是一场盛事，可能是个噱头。

Oh, so it's a big event, a stunt, probably.

这是个假的，那个词叫什么？

It's a fake what's the word?

争议。

Controversy.

这基本上是无中生有的争议，你知道的，而像我们这样的人还在讨论它，但我们应该足够聪明地说：我们不在乎。

It's basically controversy around nothing, you know, and people like us are still talking about it and we should we're be clever enough now to say, we don't care.

根本不关心。

Don't give a toss.

所以，真的，MIA 做了这件令人震惊的事，只是为了让大家谈论她并购买她的

So really, like, MIA did this shocking thing just so that everyone would talk about her and buy her

专辑。

album.

而且这招奏效了。

And it's worked.

嗯，我

Well, I

还没买

haven't bought

她的专辑，但我们还在讨论它。

her album, but we're talking about it.

我相信她的专辑可以下载。

I do believe her album is available for download

在iTunes上。

On iTunes.

从iTunes商店下载。

From iTunes from the iTunes store.

我今天听了这首单曲。

I listened to the single today.

挺烂的。

Pretty crap.

是吗？

Is it?

是的。

Yeah.

她有那一首歌。

She had that one tune.

那首《我只想》。

That All I wanna do is

那还行。

That was okay.

骗你，拿走你的钱。

Chitu and take your money.

我的意思是，还行。

I mean, it was okay.

满分十分的话，我觉得给五分吧。

Top top, you know, out of 10, I'd give it a five.

她在这首歌里采样了冲突乐队的音乐。

This this she sampled the clash in that song.

嗯。

Mhmm.

那是这首歌最精彩的部分

That's the best bit of

这首歌。

the song.

是的。

Yeah.

他们根本没必要采样The Clash，直接演奏The Clash就好了。

They should have just not sampled the clash, just played the clash.

我可以弹一点这首歌。

I can play a bit of that song.

咱们别

Let's not

麻烦了。

bother.

知道是什么回事。

Know what it is.

不。

No.

无论如何，如果你想知道，这首歌叫MIA的《Paper Planes》。

Anyway, if you're wondering, it's called Paper Planes by MIA.

你可能听过。

You might know it.

这首歌挺不错的，但不管怎样，还有其他什么事发生吗？

It's quite good, but anyway, else has been going on?

是狄更斯。

It's Dickens.

狄更斯，狄更斯诞辰二百周年。

Dickens, two hundredth anniversary of Dickens' birth.

查尔斯·狄更斯。

Charles Dickens.

查尔斯·狄更斯。

Charles Dickens.

关于这个其实没什么好说的。

Not really much to say about that.

但他是一位杰出的作家，写出了许多精彩的故事，而且他本人也相当不错，对吧？

But he's just a brilliant author of fantastic stories, and he's quite a good person, wasn't he?

我的意思是，他他我觉得他

I mean, he he I think he

他非常关注社会改革，对伦敦贫困中看到的某些现象感到震惊，而且

was quite into social reform, and he was quite shocked by some of the things he saw in the poverty of London, and

他经常写关于穷人、社会以及富人和穷人之间关系的故事，常常揭示伦敦穷人生活的状况，例如。

He used to write stories about poor, you know, about society and about the rich and poor, and he would often reveal the conditions of poor people living in London, for example.

他经常在现实主义作品中使用大量现实生活中的元素。

He used to use a lot of elements from real life in his Realistic.

但我的意思是，他确实引用了真实事件和真实人物，或者从真实人物身上获得灵感。

But, I mean, he actually referred to real incidents and real or got his inspiration from real people.

比如，据说他在码头附近遇到过一名罪犯，这名罪犯就成了他笔下名叫马格维奇的角色的灵感来源。

Like, apparently, he met a convict somewhere down with the docks or something, and that convict was his inspiration for I think it's called Magwitch.

是的

Yeah.

《远大前程》里的那个罪犯。

The convict in Great Expectations.

是的

Yeah.

精彩的角色。

Brilliant character.

是的

Yeah.

非常有趣。

Really interesting.

所以是的。

So yeah.

我们以前聊过狄更斯，对吧，在不同的

We talked about Dickens before, didn't we, in a different

我想我们之前提过狄更斯和莎士比亚，但主要是纪念狄更斯的逝世还是诞辰二百周年？

think we mentioned Dickens and Shakes before, but basically it's the two hundredth anniversary of what Dickens' death or birth?

诞辰。

Birth.

对。

Right.

所以这是个值得庆祝的时刻，因为他是一位了不起的作家，写了很多精彩的故事，比如《雾都孤儿》《远大前程》和《大卫·科波菲尔》。

So it's a good thing to celebrate because he was a fantastic author and he wrote some really great stories like Oliver Twist Expectations and David Copperfield.

人们会用‘狄更斯式的’来形容某种事物或场景，你知道，那是一种非常‘狄更斯式’的场景。

People talk about things being Dickensian, you know, as a description of something or that, you know, it's a very Dickensian scene.

所以它几乎已经成了他的专属

So it's almost become his own

是的。

Yeah.

像一个形容词。

Like an adjective.

一个形容词。

An adjective.

狄更斯式的。

Dickensian.

嗯哼。

Mhmm.

所以，是的，当人们说‘狄更斯式的’，他们是在描述某种非常粗粝、写实，或许还带点……

So, yeah, when people say Dickensian, they are describing something as being sort of very gritty and realistic and maybe sort of

回到更早的时代。

Parking back to an older time.

而且，是的，就像一种十九世纪伦敦的景象。

And, yeah, like like like a kind of nineteenth century vision of London.

你知道那种关于伦敦的老套刻板印象，那就是一个非常古老、阴暗、灰蒙蒙、烟雾弥漫的地方。

You know that old the cliche of London, which is that it's a very old, dark, gray Smoky.

烟雾缭绕、雾气重重，到处都是缺牙的街头顽童、烟囱清洁工之类的。

Smoky, foggy place with lots of sort of gap tooth urchins and chimney sweeps and stuff like that.
