PETS－2每日对话练习209

Aduh: During elections, a candidate says anything. But right afterwards, he totally forgets his campaign promises.
　　 Linger: Not all politicians are bad. Some of them really care for the country.
　　 Aduh: I guess that's why all they do in the Legislative is fight and yell .
　　 Linger: I agree that that's not good. But that doesn't mean we should give up.
　　 Aduh: That movie Cat in the Hat even shows our legislators fighting on TV. Sheesh! What a loss of face.

　　阿德：在选举期间，候选人都会乱开支票，但之后旋即忘记所有竞选。
　　玲儿：不是所有的政治人物都很烂。其中有些是真的在关心国家。
　　阿德：我想这就是为什么他们总是在立法机构里又吵又闹。
　　玲儿：我同意那样的确不好。但那不表示我们就应该放弃。
　　阿德：电影《魔法灵猫》甚至还把我们立法委员打架的画面搬上电视屏幕。真丢脸。
