地道美語聽力播客924：生活在社會邊緣

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

　　卡拉：為什么那些青年要穿成那樣?他們不想融入社會嗎?

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

　　唐納德： 可能他們感覺被邊緣化了，用穿著來表達(dá)他們的疏離感。

　　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：那不過是一種心里囈語。沒人拿他們當(dāng)二等公民。他們自己把自己分離出去了，把自己拋棄了。

　　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.

　　唐納德：由于社會階層，宗教信仰或其他因素，他們認(rèn)為他們不能享有和別人的一樣的權(quán)利和特權(quán)。

　　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： 沒人驅(qū)逐他們。他們選擇生活在社會的邊緣。他們不能再這么顯眼了，得融入社會。

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

　　唐納德：如果他們懷疑他們能否為人們所接受呢?

　　Carla: That’s ridiculous.

　　卡拉：太荒唐了。

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

　　唐納德：你愿意他們中的一個做你的鄰居嗎?

　　Carla: Well, I…well…

　　卡拉：額，我......額......

　　Donald: I think I’ve proved my point.

　　唐納德：我想我已經(jīng)證明了我的觀點了。
