"In 2012, the Republicans are now talking about the presidential ticket, Dick Cheney and running as vice president Sarah Palin. Talk about your dream ticket. Oh buddy, the comedy recession is over. I mean, come on, talk about your shotgun marriage." --David Letterman
说2012年,共和党人现在就在讨论总统的选票问题了,迪克·切尼和竞选副总统的莎拉·佩林。讨论你觉得稳操胜券的人,嘿,老兄,喜剧已经落幕了,我的意思是说,拜托,谈谈你奉子成婚的事儿吧。——大卫·莱特曼
沪江小编:后面还有一段也讲the comedy recession is over,这句话跟喜剧有什么关系呢?看过《老友记》的朋友不知道还记不记得,第一季第二集开头,几个老友坐在一起谈论男人和女人的不同,Chandler说“Yeah, I think for us, kissing is pretty much like an opening act, y'know? I mean it's like the stand-up comedian you have to sit through before Pink Floyd comes out. ”这里大卫说的the comedy recession is over,含义应该是说,暖场的结束了,咱该说点正事了。
shotgun marriage:奉子成婚。字面上理解是有人拿着枪逼你结婚,有了孩子,不得不结婚,这个词组还是挺形象的。
"There was an article in Vanity Fair that says Sarah Palin -- listen to this, this borders on the creepy -- that what she was trying to do … was adopt her daughter Bristol's baby. … Oh yeah, like I'm going to make a joke about this. None of my business. Whatever you want. Live and let live, that's my motto." --David Letterman
《名利场》杂志上有篇文章讲莎拉·佩林的——听听哈,简直太离奇了——她想做的事情是……收养她女儿布里斯托的孩子——嗯哼,好像我要说点啥玩笑话似的,这根本不关我的事儿。不管你想要什么,对别人宽容点人家才会对你宽容,这是我的格言。——大卫·莱特曼
"But this article is quite an expose. The article claims that Sarah Palin really couldn't see Russia from her house. The article also says that Sarah Palin was not much of a hunter. And I was thinking, I don't know, she killed John McCain's chances." --David Letterman
但是这篇文章简直是在揭发了。这篇文章宣称莎拉·佩林从她的房子里确实看不到俄罗斯。这篇文章还说莎拉·佩林也算不上是个猎手。然后我就在想啊,我是不知道了,她可是干掉了约翰·麦凯恩的好机遇啊。
"Sarah Palin is making some dough. She's going around the world
speaking. She's got a gig over in China. She's very excited because she
thinks that China is a red state." --David Letterman
莎拉·佩林正在赚钱中,她将在全世界进行演讲。她得到了去中国的机会,她非常激动,因为她认为中国是个红色的国家。——大卫·莱特曼
沪江小编:莎拉·佩林是共和党人,共和党的标志是大象,代表色就是红色,而民主党的标志是驴,代表色是蓝色,美国大选也被称为“驴象之争”。
"A spokesperson for Sarah Palin says she's about 85% finished with her
book which means that Sarah Palin is finished with her book." --Conan
O'Brien
莎拉·佩林的一个发言人说她的书已经写完了8%,这也就是说,她的书写完了。——柯南·奥布莱恩
沪江小编:美国人到现在还是对莎拉·佩林提前辞职念念不忘啊~~
