听力每日练习 listen 2613 I stood up for you

1-- That was quite a mess you made, but I was able to clean it up. The chairs agreed to reissue your presentation statement in the committee’s winter newsletter.

2-- I stood up for you.

1-- What are you talking about?

2-- With Dan—I defended you.

1-- Mm, we’ll talk about that later.

2-- No, we don’t need to talk at all, Grandma. I just want to know one thing. Are you even ill?

1-- No, but I could be. All those cigarettes and cocktails.

2-- Why did you do this?

1-- Oh, Serena. There is so much you don’t understand. A woman has to earn the right to create her own rules.

2-- Things aren’t the way they were when you were young, Grandma.

1-- You may be right about that.

译文：

1-- 你刚刚还真是惹了不少麻烦。但我设法做了补救。委员会同意发表你的个人介绍，刊登在委员会的通信会刊上。

2-- 我维护了你。

1-- 你说什么了？

2-- 我在Dan面前维护了你。

1-- 嗯，这个稍后再说。

2-- 不，我们什么都不用说了，外婆，我只想知道一件事，你真生病了吗？

1-- 没有。但我可能会生病啊，我抽烟喝酒都挺凶。

2-- 你为什么这么做？

1-- 哦，Serena，有太多事你不明白，女人要自己争取有能得到权力。

2-- 现在世道变了，外婆。

1-- 也许你是对的。
