实战口语情景对话：Phone Addiction 手机上瘾(2)

Todd: Have you heard the term second brain?

托德：你听说过“第二大脑”吗?

Jen: No.

珍：没有。

Todd: Yeah, somebody at some teacher conference was saying that phones are students' second brain, so they use it, you hold it and you have two brains, one in your hands and one in your head.

托德：有人在教师大会上说，手机是学生的“第二大脑”，所以他们用手机，拿着手机，也就是说你有两个大脑，一个在手里，另一个在脑部。

Jen: I would agree.

珍：我同意。

Todd: It's weird. So how about music? How addicted are you to music? Do you have to have music playing all the time?

托德：这太奇怪了。那音乐呢?你对音乐的上瘾程度有多深?你必须一直听音乐吗?

Jen: Not all the time but then I would have to listen to music at least once a day because it just refreshes your mind and you can relieve from your stress through music. But it depends upon what kind of music you have. What about you? Do you like listening to music?

珍：不是一直，不过我每天至少要听一次音乐，因为听音乐可以令头脑恢复精神，音乐可以缓解压力。不过这要取决于你听的是哪种音乐。你呢?你喜欢听音乐吗?

Todd: No. I do, but I'm not a music aficionado, and I always listen to the same ten songs. I think a lot of older people, we kind of get into that rut where I listen, honestly, to music. And I'm from the 80s, so I'm 48, I'm almost 50. So I love music from the 70s and 80s and that's all I listen to.

托德：不喜欢。我喜欢听音乐，不过我不是音乐狂热爱好者，我总是听那10首歌。我认为许多年纪稍大一些的人，在听音乐时都会陷入这种成规。我是80年代人，我今年48岁，马上就50岁了。所以我喜欢上世纪七八十年代的音乐，我一直在听那时的音乐。

Jen: That's understandable. Actually, I also have a lot of old songs, but I just don't listen, I just, it's not like I just keep on listening to those music. I actually keep on adding more music, more songs to it so that my play list is updated every now and then. I think, if you have good music, you will actually be addicted to it. Maybe you don't have good music.

珍：这可以理解。实际上，我也有很多老歌，不过我只是不听，我不会一直听那些老歌。我会不断往播放列表里添加新的歌曲，所以我的播放列表时不时就会更新。我认为如果是好歌，那就会令人着迷。也许你只是没听到好的音乐。

Todd: No, the music from the 80s is good. Okay, so what about TV? Do you watch TV every day?

托德：不是，80年代的音乐很好。那电视呢?你每天都看电视吗?

Jen: Not so much because lately I've been so busy at school so I cannot really, yeah, I don't watch much TV. But, during weekends, yeah, I do like to watch new movies or different series.

珍：看得不多，因为最近学校非常忙，所以我没有太多时间看电视。不过我喜欢在周末看新电影或电视剧。

Todd: What about, are you one of those people that will stay up till 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 in the morning just watching YouTube videos?

托德：你会熬夜在Youtube网上看视频吗?就像有的人一样，熬到凌晨两点或三四点?

Jen: Not YouTube videos but yes, if I'm addicted to some series then I would just binge watch and watch them till 5:00 in the morning.

珍：我不会熬夜看YouTube视频，不过如果我迷恋某部电视剧，那我会一直看，可能会看到凌晨五点。

Todd: What shows do you watch?

托德：你看什么电视剧?

Jen: Shows. Recently I've been watching Suits, it's like, it's a new series and it's really good. You should try it, too.

珍：电视剧。最近我一直在看《金装律师》，这是一部新剧，非常不错。你也应该看看。

Todd: Okay, I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

托德：好，我会看的。谢谢。

Jen: You're welcome, Todd.

珍：不客气，托德。
