时间：2019-02-18 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Sally: Why are wasting your time on your day off watching these daytime talk shows?
Jerry: I think they’re entertaining.
Sally: You’ve got to be kidding. The only people who are booked as guests on those shows are losers or exhibitionists who want attention.
Jerry: No, they’re not. These shows are all about human drama and tragedy, something we can all relate to.
Sally: Give me a break! The people who appear on these shows want fame at any cost and the producers of the shows exploit 1 them for ratings 2. They’re full of salacious details that nobody should talk about in public, and that I certainly don’t want to hear.
Jerry: I completely disagree. If you get off your high horse for a minute, you may learn something.
Sally: Like what?
Jerry: Like how to get rid of an annoying wife and get away with it!
