地道美語：Reality TV Shows 電視單元 (1) (音頻文字) VOA (ZT)Will和Jane在約會，倆人聊起了各自愛看的電視節目。

Professor: That"s right, Winnie. Today they are talking about reality TV.

"Reality TV" - 電視真人秀! 這種節目其實一點都不真實，我聽說，很多情節和對話其實也是按照劇本，有安排的!

Professor: Maybe, but they are still entertaining.

Will: So Jane, what kind of TV shows do you like to watch?

Jane: I really love reality TV. Do you?

Will: Oh yeah, me too. And it"s great that there are so many shows now to choose from!

Jane: I know. There are so many reality TV programs I can"t keep them straight!

原來這兩人都喜歡看真人秀。 Will很高興地說，電視上的這種節目很多，Jane說，節目太多了，所以she can"t keep them straight! Professor, 這是不是說她已經看得眼花繚亂，弄不清哪個是哪個了？

Professor: Yes! Jane is saying that there are so many reality TV shows out there, she can hardly keep track of which is which.

對了，Professor, Will 管「節目」叫「show," 而Jane用了"program," 這兩個詞有什麼區別么？

Professor: They mean exactly the same thing.

Will: You know what my favorite reality show is? Cops.

Jane: Cops? The show where they show what happens to the police? That show is so stupid.

Will: No way! Some people don"t remember that Cops was the very first reality show.

Jane: I guess so ... but just because it was the first, doesn"t mean it was the best.

Will最喜歡的真人秀是「Cops」--「傳奇警察」，他還說這是美國的第一個真人秀電視節目。我看過Cops，他們在警察的巡邏車裡安上攝像機，跟拍警察出任務的情況。這個節目有什麼意思啊，我不懂!

Professor: Well, Winnie, it"s very successful. It has been on 22 seasons, and has made more than 750 episodes.

哇， Professor, 你記得好清楚啊! 我還真不知道這個節目這麼受歡迎，已經拍了 22 seasons--二十二季，more than 750 episodes--七百五十多集啦？!

Professor: Yes, it"s that popular! But what does Jane say?

Jane說，雖然Cops是第一個真人秀，但並不代表它就是最好的。不知道Jane最愛看的是哪個節目。

Will: OK Jane, what reality TV shows do you like?

Jane: I like shows that have real people who are like me.

Will: You like to watch normal people doing regular things? That"s not interesting at all!

Jane: Yes it is! If it isn"t interesting, why are reality TV shows on all the channels?

Will: Jane, you don"t need to watch TV to see normal people. They"re all around you in your real life!

看來，Jane的品味和Will很不同，她喜歡看那些演普通人日常生活的真人秀。我同意Will的看法，如果你喜歡看普通人，那看看周圍的人不就行了么，何必要看電視呢？

Professor: I agree. When I watch TV, I want to see amazing things I can"t see every day.

就是嘛。對了，Professor, Jane 還說，真人秀節目 "are on all the channels"，這是不是說，每個台都在播這種節目？

Professor: That"s right. For example, "I couldn"t find a good show to watch on any channel, so I read a book."

Jane: Have you ever watched the show Survivor?

Will: Yeah. I haven"t seen the whole series, but I"ve seen a few reruns.

Jane: It"s a good show because it showed regular people, but in a strange place.

Will: Yeah, that"s a really good show.

Jane 喜歡看「Survivor」--「倖存者」。Will說，他沒看過這個節目的whole series--整個系列，但是看了a few reruns--幾集重播。

Professor: Right. Why does Jane like that show?

Jane說，Survivor演的是普通人身處險境時的事兒，所以很好看。

Professor: That"s right. So Winnie, do you think Will and Jane have other kinds of shows they like to watch?

我們繼續收聽下次的節目就知道啦!
