地道美语听力播客832: 查家谱（双语）

Aaron: Do you think you can help me trace my genealogy?
亚伦：你能帮我查一下我的家谱吗？
Corrie: Sure, I can try. We can get started by talking to your parents and grandparents. Oral interviews will give us some names of your relatives.
科里：当然，我可以试试。那就从询问你父母和祖父母开始吧。口头访谈能让我们了解到一些你亲戚的名字。
Aaron: I’ve already talked to them and I grew up hearing stories about my lineage on both sides of my family.
亚伦：我已经跟他们谈过了，从小到大我一直听说父母双方的宗族情况。
Corrie: That’s great. If you know some of the people you’re descended from, we can start by looking at public records and historical records from the area. You’re from Tennessee, right?
科里：那太好了。如果你知道自己是哪些人的后裔，我们就可以从有关地区的公共档案和历史记录开始查阅了。你来自田纳西州，对吗？
Aaron: That’s right. There are a lot of people in Tennessee with my last name, though.
亚伦：是的，虽然田纳西州有很多人都跟我同姓。
Corrie: Well, we can triangulate the information we get to zero in on your ancestors.
科里：我们可以把得到的信息进行整理，来锁定谁是你要找的祖先。
Aaron: What if I want proof positive that I’m related to someone?
亚伦：如果我想让你们帮我证明我和某个人是有血缘关系的呢？
Corrie: Then you can have a genetic analysis done. A DNA test is generally accepted proof.
科里：那你可以去做基因鉴定啊。基因检验是人们普遍接受的证据。
Aaron: Good, it’s about time someone in my family established the blood connections.
亚伦：很好，是时候证明某人与我们家有血缘关系了。
Corrie: Blood connections to whom?
科里：和谁有血缘关系？
Aaron: Elvis, of course.
亚伦：当然是和艾维斯。
Corrie: Elvis?! You think you’re related to Elvis?
科里：艾维斯？你觉得你跟艾维斯有血缘关系？
Aaron: His last name was Presley; my last name is Presley. My first name is Aaron; his middle name was Aaron. It can’t be a coincidence, especially considering my talent.
亚伦：他姓普雷斯利，我也姓普雷斯利。我叫亚伦，他的中名也是亚伦。这不可能仅仅是个巧合，尤其是我还有天赋。
Corrie: Talent?
科里：天赋？
Aaron: Sure, listen: “Well, it's one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go, cat, go!”
亚伦：对啊，听着：“好吧，第一是为了钱，第二是为了表现，第三是为了准备就绪，现在快去。阿猫，快去！”
Corrie: I consider that counterevidence!
科里：我觉得这应该是反证。
