美語情景對話 第166期:報紙 Newspapers

OK, the newspapers in England, well, we've got quite a lot of newspapers, some of the more serious ones like The Times. Then you got the middle of the range, things like the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, and then you got the British tabloids, which were quite famous for, and the tabloids are quite interesting. Basically, the tabloids are just gossip, and they will report anything and everything in great detail. Um, a lot of people kind of disapprove of the tabloids but personally I find them quite interesting and entertaining. In our house, we have a tabloid newspaper, The Daily Mirror and we have the Daily Mail as well. And in the Mirror you'll get all the gossip, and things like horoscopes, and real celebrity news like recently you've had the David Beckham thing that he's been having an affair, and that was interesting. It went into real detail all the text messages that they sent and everything, uh, and it is kind of, it is just gossip, but then many people get the tabloids because it reports the sport in a lot of detail, so a lot of men get the, for the football scores and horse racing and everything.

好的，英格蘭的報紙，嗯，我們有許多報紙，有一些報紙很嚴肅，比如《泰晤士報》。而中級市場報紙則有《每日郵報》和《每日快報》，當然還有英國小報，這可是非常出名，而且小報也很有意思。基本上來說，小報只是在八卦，它們會十分詳盡地報道所有消息。嗯，許多人會不太贊同小報，但是就個人而言，我認爲小報真的很有意思，也很具娛樂性。我們家會購買《每日鏡報》這種小報，當然也會買《每日郵報》。看《每日鏡報》你會知道所有的八卦消息，比如星座占卜，還有真實的明星新聞，比如近期大衛·貝克漢姆出軌的新聞等等，這真的很有趣。該報會詳述他們發送的所有文本信息和其他一切信息，嗯，這只是種八卦報道，但是之後有許多人去買小報是因爲它詳細報道體育新聞，所以許多男性會爲了瞭解足球比分和賽馬結果等所有比賽信息去購買小報。
