K: Julie, what's on the tube?
J: nothing but tons of commercials. These days the amount of commercials is amazing.
K: yeah. Maybe we can change to another channel. what about the sports channel? Let's see if there's a game on.
J: okay. Nope, it's a replay of yesterday's soccer match between Brazil and Spain.
k: it was a good game, but not good enough to watch again. Keep surfing.
J: alright. Hmm,this movie is a rerun...I don't know how many times I've seen this show...Commercial again...and a replay of the talk show...oh no,
this show is terrible, you don't wanna watch it.
K:ok, what is it?
J: it's a total rip-off of an American reality show, but the imitation is unbearably clumsy.
K: oh, I know this kind of shows. Sometimes they really piss me off. If I wanted reality,I'd go outside.
J: yeah...it seems what we have on TV now are either repeats, or commercials, or low-quality shows. There's really nothing to watch.
K: I don't get it. We have more than 100 channels and there's still nothing good on! Maybe we should just turn off the TV, get outside, and do something real.
J: cool.
朱莉,電視上演什么?
沒什么,全是廣告.最近廣告的數(shù)量多得驚人.
是啊,或許我們應(yīng)該換個(gè)頻道.看看體育頻道有沒有比賽吧?
好啊,沒有,現(xiàn)在在重播昨天巴西和西班牙的足球比賽.
比賽很精彩,但是我不想再看一遍.再看看其他的臺(tái)吧.
好的,這個(gè)電影是重播的...這個(gè)節(jié)目不知道看了有多少遍了...又是廣告...訪談節(jié)目的重播...啊,這個(gè)節(jié)目特別差,你肯定不想看.
恩,什么節(jié)目?
這個(gè)節(jié)目完全照搬美國一檔真人秀,可是模仿的十分拙劣.
哦,我知道這類節(jié)目.我有時(shí)候看到這類節(jié)目就特別生氣.如果我想看真人,我自己出去就是了.
是啊,看來現(xiàn)在電視上不是重播,就是廣告,再不就是劣質(zhì)的節(jié)目,真的沒什么好看的.
真不明白,我們有100多個(gè)頻道,可還是沒有什么好看的節(jié)目,或許我們應(yīng)該把電視關(guān)了,出去走走,做點(diǎn)有意思的事.
好的.
