聽力每日練習(xí) listen 2613 I?stood?up?for?you

1-- That was quite a mess you made, but I was able to clean it up. The chairs agreed to reissue your presentation statement in the committee’s winter newsletter.

2-- I stood up for you.

1-- What are you talking about?

2-- With Dan—I defended you.

1-- Mm, we’ll talk about that later.

2-- No, we don’t need to talk at all, Grandma. I just want to know one thing. Are you even ill?

1-- No, but I could be. All those cigarettes and cocktails.

2-- Why did you do this?

1-- Oh, Serena. There is so much you don’t understand. A woman has to earn the right to create her own rules.

2-- Things aren’t the way they were when you were young, Grandma.

1-- You may be right about that.

譯文：

1-- 你剛剛還真是惹了不少麻煩。但我設(shè)法做了補(bǔ)救。委員會同意發(fā)表你的個人介紹，刊登在委員會的通信會刊上。

2-- 我維護(hù)了你。

1-- 你說什么了？

2-- 我在Dan面前維護(hù)了你。

1-- 嗯，這個稍后再說。

2-- 不，我們什么都不用說了，外婆，我只想知道一件事，你真生病了嗎？

1-- 沒有。但我可能會生病啊，我抽煙喝酒都挺兇。

2-- 你為什么這么做？

1-- 哦，Serena，有太多事你不明白，女人要自己爭取有能得到權(quán)力。

2-- 現(xiàn)在世道變了，外婆。

1-- 也許你是對的。
