纯正地道美语 第263期(外教讲解):谈星座  

Lydia:I’m looking at my horoscope for this month! My outlook is very positive. It says that I should take a vacation to someplace exotic, and that I will have a passionate summer fling!,Angela: What are you talking about? Let me see that... What are horoscopes?,Lydia: It’s a prediction of your month, based on your zodiac sign. You have a different sign for the month and date you were born in. I was born on April 15th, so I’m an Aries. When were you born?,Angela: January 5th.,Lydia: Let’s see. . . you’re a Capricorn. It says that you will be feeling stress at work, but you could see new, exciting developments in your love life . Looks like we’ll both have interesting summers!,Angela: That’s bogus. I don’t feel any stress at work, and my love life is practically nonexistent. This zodiac stuff is all a bunch of nonsense.,Lydia:No, it’s not, your astrology sign can tell you a lot about your personality. See? It says that an Aries is energetic and loves to socialize.,Angela:Well, you certainly match those criteria, but they’re so broad they could apply to anyone. What does it say about me?,Lydia:A Capricorn is serious-minded and practical. She likes to do things in conventional ways. That sounds just like you!

Angela:Lydia，你在读什么？,Lydia: 我正在看这个月的星象。关于我的预测很棒。那上面说我应该去某个异域的地方去度假。那样我就会有一个激情的夏日艳遇。
Angela: 你在说什么？让我看看，什么是星象？,Lydia:根据你的星座，对每个月所发生的事进行预测。你出生在哪个月份，就有对应的星座。我是4月15日出生的，所以我是白羊座，你是什么时候出生的？,Angela: 1月5日。,Lydia:让我看看……你是摩羯座。星象说工作时你会感到有压力，但是你会在爱情中刚看到新的，让人激动的进展。看起来我们的夏天都很有趣。,Angela:那是骗人的，我并没有感到工作上的压力，而且我根本没遇到爱情。这个星象图只是一派胡言。,Lydia:不是你说的那样，占星术星座能告诉你很多个性方面的事。明白了吗？那上面说白羊座精力充沛，而且爱社交。,Angela: 你当然符合这些标准，但是所说的内容太广泛了，它适用于每个人。关于我，那上面说了些什么？,Lydia: 魔蝎座很认真而且很实际。她喜欢按常规的方式做事。听上去很像你的性格。
