地道美语听力播客748: 电视购物（双语）

Victor: Turn off the TV and put down that phone. I know what you’re about to do. 
维克特：关掉电视，放下手机，我知道你要做什么。
Julia: I wasn’t going to do anything. 
茱莉亚：我没想做什么事。
Victor: You’re watching the home shopping channel and you have the phone in your hand, which means you’re about to call them and order something. Admit it. 
维克特：你在看电视购物频道，手中拿着手机，也就是说你会给他们打电话，订购一些东西，承认吧！
Julia: I just wanted to ask some questions about this amazing item that’s on- screen right now. It’s 30 percent off if I call within the next eight minutes. Look how nice it looks on the model. It’s a limited editionnecklace. If I don’t call soon, they’ll be sold out! 
茱莉亚：我只是想问一些问题关于刚才荧屏上出现的让人惊异的物品。如果我在下一个八分钟内打进可以有30%的优惠。看模特身上多漂亮啊。这是一款限量版的项链。如果我不快点打电话，就卖完了。
Victor: That’s why I have to keep you from calling. You don’t need another piece of second-rate jewelry from the home shopping channel. 
维克特：这是我为什么阻止你打电话的原因，你不需要从电视购物频道买一条次等的珠宝
Julia: Oh, look what you’ve done! They’re sold out. But hey, look at that machine they’re demonstrating. It’s amazing what it can do. 
茱莉亚：哦！看你做的事。它们已经卖完了。但是，嗨，看他们展示出来的机器，能做的事看起来很神奇。
Victor: You don’t need another ridiculous gadget that you buy after watching some rigged demonstration. You know that they never work the same way at home as they do on TV. 
维克特：看到他们暗中操纵的一些演示后购买，你不需要那些荒诞的小玩意儿。要知道在家里，它们不会有电视里那样效果。
Julia: Some of them do. Remember that machine I bought for washing nuts? That worked well. 
茱莉亚：有的跟电视上一模一样啊，记得我买的那个清洗坚果的那个机器吗？它一直运作正常。
Victor: Yeah, and how much use did we get out of that? We have an entire garage full of steals you just couldn’t resist. That’s why I need to do something drastic. 
维克特：是，但是我们总共用过几次呀？我们车库里装满了那些你抵挡不住诱惑购买的便宜的东西。这就是我为什么要做些严厉的事。
Julia: What? 
茱莉亚：什么？
Victor: I’m confiscating that remote! 
维克特：我要没收遥控器！
