k:hey, Jimmy, you've been sitting in front of the TV all day. Anything interesting on TV?
J: not really. Quite boring right now, actually. Mostly infomercials and public serveice announcements.
K: why don't you turn off the TV and get outside? You need to get some fresh air.
J: I know, I know.But my favorite show is on in a couple of minutes. It's the series finals, and I wouldn't miss it for the world!
K: Really? What's the series about?
J: well, it's about how an immigrant girl achieve her dream in America. It's a sitcom 1 but really quite smart and really funny. I think you'd like it.
K: it sounds interesting, but I am not a big fan of TV shows. They're time consuming and don't have much depth.
J: I believe some shows are quite informative 2 and interesting. Take this show for example, it examines American xenophobia and how it might conflict with
the American dream, with hilarious 3 results.
K: really? that's interesting!
J: yeah.Oh, here it comes! why don't we watch it together? they are going to have a court debate in this episode. It should be good.
K: OK, I'll give it a go.
喂,吉米,你在电视机前坐了一天了,电视上有什么有意思的节目吗?
没有啊.其实现在挺无聊的,净是长篇的购物广告和公共服务通知.
那位什么不把电视关了出去走走呢?你需要呼吸点新鲜空气.
知道了知道了.不过我最喜欢的节目几分钟后就要开始了,是这部戏的大结局,我无论如何都不会错过的.
是吗?这部戏是关于什么的呢?
是讲一个移民到美国的小女孩实现梦想的故事.虽然是情景喜剧,可是拍的很有内容也很有意思.我觉得你可能会喜欢.
听起来挺有意思.不过我不太喜欢看电视剧,我觉得电视剧花太多时间,而且没有深度.
我认为有一些节目的信息量还是挺大的,也挺有意思.那这个电视剧来说,它就审视了美国人对外来移民的抵制心态,还讲了这种心态如何与美国梦之间产生矛盾,以及这种矛盾带来的
滑稽后果.
真的?听起来挺有意思的.
是这样的.哦,开始了,我们可以一起看啊.这一集里他们要在法庭上辩论,应该挺好看的.
好的,那就看看吧.
