Text Five

课文5

− Have you heard the local newspaper The Times is closing down in three months’ time?

-你听说没，当地的报纸报道，泰晤士报三个月内要关闭。

− Then, that’s good news. That newspaper is terrible. I won’t miss it.

(Then只是语气不用翻译)这消息不错。那份报纸太糟糕了。我才不会感到可惜。

− What do you mean? The Times is the best newspaper in the city. If that closes, we’ll only have the Pioneer and that City Journal, which is too awful for words.

(对方只是想知道原因，没有质疑的意思)为什么？泰晤士报是当地最好的报纸。如果这报社关闭，我就只能看先驱社和城市期刊了，那才是最糟糕的结果。(for the words是大家谈论起这事情时，事态发展的结果，不是用词糟糕的意思)

− You only like The Times because it takes up to 20 pages every day with sports. The City Journal is a great paper. And you don’t like it because it doesn’t devote 5 pages every day to baseball results.

你只读泰晤士报，那是因为他每天期刊的体育版最多（up to是最多的意思，一定要翻译出来）也只是20页。而城市期刊是份大报纸，但你不喜欢只是因为它每天的棒球版面不到5页。

− This is a baseball city. We’ve got a great team. Why shouldn’t we read about it? Where are we going to get the results now?

这是个棒球城市，我们有很棒的球队，我们为什么不看呢？现在我们该到哪里看这个结果呢？

− I think a newspaper needs to meet all the needs of its readers, not just those who like sports.

我觉得，一份好的报纸应该适应读者的各种需求，不仅仅是那些喜欢体育读者的需求。

− Then what about the Job Section in the Times? That was one of the most useful parts of it. Every business, every store in the city knows if they want to employ someone, get someone to work for them, they have to play some ad in The Times.

那泰晤士报中的求职版呢？那是泰晤士报最实用的一部分。如果哪个商家，哪个商铺想要员工，他们都会在泰晤士报上刊登广告。

-Have all these people gone to get work now? This will absolutely destroy the local economy.

难道那些人都找到工作了么？这么做会影响地区的行业经济发展的。

− Destroy the local economy, will it? … made the Job Section with pretty good in the Times, but one of the other two newspapers will just get the ads instead. That’s how things work.

影响经济发展，会发生么？在泰晤士报上，能找到不错的工作，但其他两家报社也会刊登广告的，道理就是这样子（how things work表示广告招聘行业选择是很多，行业运行就是这样的道理）。
