今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論乞討，
 
在街上看見(jiàn)一個(gè)無(wú)家可歸的人在乞討你會(huì)怎么做
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: what do you do when you see a homeless person on the streets begging for money?
 
如果在街上看見(jiàn)一個(gè)無(wú)家可歸的人在乞討,你會(huì)怎么做?
 
B: I never really give them money because I don't want to contribute to their addictions.
 
我從來(lái)沒(méi)給過(guò)他們錢,以為我并不贊成他們以此為生.
 
A: homeless youth can easily become involved with drugs and prostitution. Do you do anything to help them?
 
無(wú)家可歸的年輕人往往是很容易卷入毒品和賣淫活動(dòng)中的.你做過(guò)些什么來(lái)幫助他們嗎?
 
B:I usually ask them if they want some food and then give them something to eat. I figure that if they're homeless, they're probably hungry.
 
通常我都是問(wèn)他們是不是需要吃的,然后給他們點(diǎn)食物.我覺(jué)得如果他們無(wú)家可歸的話一般都會(huì)很餓.
 
A: that's a good idea. Do they usually accept the food?
 
好主意.他們會(huì)接受吃的嗎?
 
B: almost always. However, sometimes they get mad at me for not giving them any cash.
 
通常都會(huì)接受.不過(guò),有時(shí)候他們會(huì)因?yàn)槲乙环皱X都沒(méi)給而氣得要死.
 
A: it's sad how more and more young people are sleeping on the streets in London now.
 
現(xiàn)在越來(lái)越多的年輕人露宿倫敦街頭,這真讓人痛心.
 
B: the cost of living in London is just too high for most people.
 
倫敦的生活費(fèi)用對(duì)很多人來(lái)說(shuō)實(shí)在是太昂貴了.
 
A: it's true. The economy is in a bit of mess at the moment.
 
沒(méi)錯(cuò),現(xiàn)在的經(jīng)濟(jì)有點(diǎn)兒不景氣.
 
B: did you know that few people can pay the rent on minimum wage, let alone pay for food and other living costs?
 
你知道嗎,現(xiàn)在僅僅是靠最低工資已經(jīng)很難維持支付房租,就更別提飲食和其他花銷了.
 
A: there just isn't enough affordable housing to go around. If only the housing cost would drop, fewer people would be in financial trouble.
 
附近已經(jīng)沒(méi)有什么能買得起的房子了.如果房?jī)r(jià)能降降,生活拮據(jù)的人就能少些.
 
B: added to that is the high unemployment rate right now.
 
另外,現(xiàn)在的失業(yè)率也居高不下.
 
A: something's got to change---and it's got to happen soon.
 
有些現(xiàn)狀要改變,而且要盡快.
 
B: politicians like to ignore the problems of the working class. They like to focus on making life easier for the upper class.
 
政客們總是忽略工人階級(jí)的問(wèn)題,他們更傾向與關(guān)注如何能令富人和名流生活得更好.
 
A: I can only hope that one day they will change.
 
我只能寄希望與未來(lái)這種情況會(huì)有所改善.
