生活英語情景口語:實在沒什麼電視好看...
F: what are you watching on the telly?
H: there's a great sitcom on Channel 3 that stars in about three minutes.
F: which one is that?
H: the office. Have you watched it?
F: I've seen the British version and loved it, but have never seen the American version.
H: it's almost exactly the same. I think it's a hilarious show.
F: what are you watching now?
H: they're just showing highlights of American Idol from last night right now.
F: I can't stand American Idol! I think it's really over-rated.
H: I couldn't agree with you more.
F: have you got satellite, cable, or digital TV?
H: we have digital TV. It's amazing though---even with 100 channels, there's often nothing on that I'd want to watch!
F: do you watch a lot of TV then?
H: I guess so. I'm bit of a couch potato. How about you?
F: I don't have a TV at home, so I rarely watch anything. Is there anything worth watching after the office?
H: there's actually a documentary on the history channel later on that I'd like to watch. Do you want to stay and watch it with me?
F: why not? I don't have anything better to do!

我們有數字電視.這技術棒極了—不過,儘管有100個頻道,可大多數時候播放的節目都不是我想看的.

我想是的.我是個電視迷.你呢?
我家裏沒電視,所以很少看,辦公室演完後還有什麼好看的節目嗎?
