地道美语听力播客612:听广播（双语）

Robin: I like listening to the radio on my morning commute each day. This morning, though, my favorite DJs weren’t on the air.

罗宾：我喜欢在每天早上上班的时候听广播。但是今天早上我喜欢的DJ们都不在线。

Howard: Do you know what happened to the Kelvin and Ben show this morning?

霍华德：你知道今天早上凯尔文和本的节目出什么问题了吗?

Robin: Kelvin and Ben are both on suspension. The FCC fined the radio station. Apparently, Kelvin and Ben said some things on the air two weeks ago that the FCC found objectionable.

罗宾：凯尔文和本的节目都暂停了。联邦通信委员会都无线电台进行了罚款。很显然，两个星期前，凯尔文和本在节目中说了一些联邦通信委员会认为有异议的话。

Howard: That’s crazy! Kelvin and Ben are shock jocks. They’re supposed to say things that are provocative. They work in a big market producing a morning show with a lot of competition. They have to push the envelope.

霍华德：太疯狂了，凯尔文和本都属于令人震惊的节目主持人，他们应该是说了一些挑衅性的言语。他们所在的晨档节目太多人在做，竞争很激烈。他们不得不挑战极限。

Robin: That may be true, but the FCC said that they went too far. On Mother’s Day, they invited several mothers to be in-studio guests for a segment. They cursed them, said sexually explicit things, and called them obscene names.

罗宾：可能是这样，但是联邦通信委员会称他们做的太过分了。在母亲节那天，他们邀请了即为母亲到节目中做客，他们在节目中说脏话，说一些色情的东西，并用一些粗俗的名字称呼她们。

Howard: They did that?!

霍华德：他们这样做了?

Robin: I guess you weren’t listening that morning.

罗宾：我想你没有收听那期节目。

Howard: No, I wasn’t. Now I’m truly shocked!

霍华德：是的，我没听。现在我是真的震惊了。
