美語咖啡屋 Lesson 23: DC Politics & Culture

Y: 各位聽眾好！ 我是楊晨！ 歡迎您到美語咖啡屋。

J: Hello, I'm Jody. Welcome to American Cafe! Yang Chen, that is a great outfit! You certainly have an eye for fashion. Hey, speaking of fashion have you ever thought about how fashion is connected to politics and society.

Y: 時裝和政治的關(guān)系？我從來沒想過。

J: I never thought about it until I spoke to a woman named Tina. She's lived in Washington, D.C. for many years and she studied fashion.

Y: Tina在華盛頓住了多少年？

J: Let's hear Tina as she answers the question, "How long have you lived in Washington, D.C.?"

Tina: Seven administrations.

Y: Interesting! 她沒有說她在華盛頓住了多少年，而是說Seven administrations就是七屆政府的意思。哇，她可真是個見過世面的人啊。

J: Oh, I bet she has. And with her background in fashion, Tina has a really interesting view of D.C. that involves the connection between politics, society and fashion.

Y: 說起fashion來，這當(dāng)然是我最喜歡談?wù)摰念}目之一。不過政治和時裝真的有那么大關(guān)系嗎？

J: Oh, let's hear from Tina as she compares the Democrats and the Clinton administration who she feels are more hip, more liberal, with the more conservative Republican Party.

Y: Jody, 你剛才說的hip， 你能給聽眾解釋一下這個好嗎？
