地道美语听力播客924：生活在社会边缘

Carla: Why do those teenagers have to dress like that? Don’t they want to fit in?

　　卡拉：为什么那些青年要穿成那样?他们不想融入社会吗?

　　Donald: Maybe they feel marginalized and they’re showing their feelings of alienation through their clothes.

　　唐纳德： 可能他们感觉被边缘化了，用穿着来表达他们的疏离感。

　　Carla: That’s just a bunch of psychobabble. Nobody is treating them like second-class citizens. They’re choosing to set themselves apart, to make themselves outcasts.

　　卡拉：那不过是一种心里呓语。没人拿他们当二等公民。他们自己把自己分离出去了，把自己抛弃了。

　　Donald: Maybe they don’t feel they have the same access and privileges that other people do because of social class, religious beliefs, or other factors.

　　唐纳德：由于社会阶层，宗教信仰或其他因素，他们认为他们不能享有和别人的一样的权利和特权。

　　Carla: Nobody is shunning them. They choose to live on the fringe of society. They need to stop making themselves conspicuous and integrate into society.

　　卡拉： 没人驱逐他们。他们选择生活在社会的边缘。他们不能再这么显眼了，得融入社会。

　　Donald: What if they doubt they’d be accepted?

　　唐纳德：如果他们怀疑他们能否为人们所接受呢?

　　Carla: That’s ridiculous.

　　卡拉：太荒唐了。

　　Donald: Would you want one of them as your neighbor?

　　唐纳德：你愿意他们中的一个做你的邻居吗?

　　Carla: Well, I…well…

　　卡拉：额，我......额......

　　Donald: I think I’ve proved my point.

　　唐纳德：我想我已经证明了我的观点了。
