 What, because the economy is such a snoozer right now?


什么?!是因为现在的经济太低迷了么?
Did west coast CNBC reporter Jane Wells really fall asleep live, on camera today? What looked legit at first (if you had you T.V. on mute you’d think as much) might actually be a prank 1 on viewers. Turns out Wells was introducing a segment on wine and (maybe?) decided 2 to punk her audience by pretending to imbibe 3 too much. We’d imagine it’s all a joke, right?
美国西海岸全国广播公司财经频道(CNBC)女主持Jane Wells真的在面对摄像机直播的时候睡着了?节目刚开始看起来一切正常(你要是把电视静音了你会一直认为还挺正常的),其实这都是给观众安排好的恶作剧。好戏在后头:轮到Wells介绍酒的部分单元,她假装喝太多醉倒了,愚弄了下电视机前的观众。早该想到这是个玩笑了,对吧?
Update: Wells confirmed via Twitter that she was not, in fact, asleep. Good prank, Wells!
事后澄清:Wells通过Twitter证实她实际上没有睡着。不错的恶作剧,Wells干得不错嘛。
