情景对话
When I was in elementary school, in the 1980's teacher's used to use film projectors so they would put the, they'd put the film reels on the projector and it always took them a long time. It seems like there were always technical difficulties, just like people using powerpoint presentations today. It always takes, it always takes hours to set up, and it was always fun for us when we were in school because we would get a, get a break from studying, and we would get to watch a movie, but they would usually turn off all of the lights, and for us kids, having the lights off meant, meant bedtime, so I can remember, it was, even though it was exciting, it was always very hard to keep my eyes open and I would end up falling asleep before the end of the movie.
上世纪80年代，我上小学的时候，老师通常会用胶片投影机，所以他们会把胶片卷轴放在投影机上，而这个过程通常要花费他们很长的时间。看起来总是会有技术难题，就像人们现在用幻灯片进行演示一样。这总是会花费数个小时来进行，当然这对当时在学校上课的我们来说很有乐趣，因为我们可以暂时停止学习，休息一下，我们可以看个电影，但是通常老师会关掉所有的灯，而对我们孩子来说，关灯意味着到睡觉的时间了，所以我记得，当时虽然很兴奋，但是我的眼睛几乎睁不开，在电影结束之前我可能就睡着了。
Ever since we got our first VCR and remote control my dad has been absolutely fascinated with it. He can't stop fiddling with the controls. He turns up the volume, he turns down the volume. He changes the channel. He stops. He pauses. He just can't stop playing with it. We feel he needs to go to a remote control addiction recovery center so he can, he can heal his problems that he has with the remote control and try to have better habbits with it. Keep his hands off of it.
自从我们有了第一台录像机和遥控器以来，我爸爸就完全被迷住了。他一直在摆弄遥控器。他会调大音量，然后再调低音量，换台。停止播放，暂停播放，他就是一直要摆弄那个遥控器。我们觉得他要去遥控器上瘾症康复中心，这样他才能治愈他对遥控器上瘾的问题，养成更好的习惯，把手从遥控器上拿开。
