地道美语听力播客763: 社区不受欢迎的生意（双语）

Patricia: Finally! That empty building has a new tenant. That’s great for the neighborhood. 
帕特丽夏：终于这个空房子迎来新的租客，对街坊来说是件不错的事。
Francois: Think again. The new tenant plans to open a strip club. 
弗朗索瓦：再考虑一下。新的租客打算开一家脱衣舞俱乐部。
Patricia: A strip club in the middle of a residential neighborhood?! That must be a violation of city ordinances. The city won’t allow that. 
帕特丽夏：居民住宅区开个脱衣舞俱乐部？这肯定有违城市条令，这个城市不会允许那样做的。
Francois: I’m not so sure. The tenant has already started moving in and there is no sign that the city is going take action. 
弗朗索瓦：我不确定，租户已经开始往里搬了，没有迹象显示城市会采取什么措施。
Patricia: Then we have to do something to let the city know that we object to a strip club going into that space. 
帕特丽夏：那我们要做点事让城市知道我们反对在那个地方开脱衣舞俱乐部。
Francois: Good luck getting the city to do anything, much less file an injunction. The mayor is very pro- business and it won’t look good if he tries to shut down any business that could bring revenue and jobs to this dying town. 
弗朗索瓦：这个城市能做点事就已经很幸运了，更不用说发布禁令了，不太可能。 市长很亲商，如果让他试图关闭能够给这座垂死城镇带来收益和工作的生意，这似乎并不可行。
Patricia: But at what cost? Our kids will have to walk past the strip club every day to and from school. That’s outrageous! 
帕特丽夏：但是以什么为代价？我们孩子每次上下学的路上都会经过那个脱衣舞俱乐部。这难以让人容忍。
Francois: I suggest channeling that energy into action. If we make a stink and get media coverage, maybe we’ll get some action. 
弗朗索瓦：我建议将这种能量转化成行动。如果我们提出强烈抗议，引来媒体关注，或许我们能有些行动。
Patricia: Good idea. How can we get the local media to cover a neighborhood protest? 
帕特丽夏：好主意。那我们怎么能让当地媒体来报到邻里的抗议？
Francois: How about nude picketing? 
弗朗索瓦：来个裸体集会怎么样？
Patricia: I think that would send the wrong message. 
帕特利夏：我想那样做会传递错误的信息。
