Hanna: And today we're going to be talking about how much TV do you watch? Diego how much TV do you watch?
汉娜:今天我们要讨论的是,你花多长时间看电视?迭戈,你花多少时间看电视呢?
Diego: I don't watch a lot of TV any more but when I was a kid I used to watch six hours a day, it was ridiculous.
迭戈:我现在已经不常看电视了,不过我小时候每天会看六个小时的电视,那真是很荒唐 。
Hanna: Six hours a day? You must have square eyes or something.
汉娜:每天六个小时?你的眼睛一定变方了 。
Diego: Yeah, I'm actually glad I don't wear glasses as of today, but yeah I would finish school and then go home at around two, three, have lunch and then I would watch TV for a long time. I would do my homework in the middle of it or I would do my homework while watching TV and then I would go to bed. So I think for like four years I watched plenty of TV. How about you?
迭戈:嗯,其实我很高兴我直到现在都没有戴眼镜,以前我每天放学回到家的时间大概是下午两三点,吃完午饭后我就会看很长时间的电视 。我会在看电视的间隙写作业,或者一边看电视一边写作业,然后上床睡觉 。我想在四年的时间里我经常看电视 。你呢?
Hanna: I don't really watch much TV. Maybe when I was twelve or thirteen in junior high school I used to watch a bit of TV but ever since then I wasn't really interested in it. I watch a lot of YouTube though which is sort of like TV but I find I don't like advertisements on TV and I get bored sitting thru them and just go off and do something else.
汉娜:我不太常看电视 。也许在我十二、三岁上初中那会儿,我有时会看电视,不过从那以后我就不喜欢看电视了 。我经常在Youtube网上看视频,虽然那和电视有点儿像,不过我不喜欢电视上的广告,坐在那里看广告会让我感觉无聊,我会失去兴趣,转而去做其他事情 。
Diego: Yeah, I think the internet's replacing TV. So I think the question should be how much internet TV do you watch?
迭戈:嗯,我认为网络会取代电视 。所以问题应该是你花多少时间看网络电视?
Hanna: Yeah, well I watch a little bit of that.
汉娜:对,网络电视的话,我会看一会儿 。
