（单词翻译:单击）

Dr1. Marsha: If you've just tuned3 in, this is Dr. Marsha Fieldstone and tonight's topic is "Your Wishes and Dreams" and we're on the line now with someone from Seattle.

Sam: Hello?

Dr. Marsha: Hello, Sam. This is Dr. Marsha Fieldstone on Network4 America.

Sam: OK, what are you selling tonight? The micro hibachis or the ginsu knives.

Dr. Marsha: No, I'm not selling anything. I just want to help. I want you to know that your son called and he asked me for some advice on how you might find a new wife.

Sam: Who is this?

Dr. Marsha: Dr. Marsha Fieldstone of Network America and you are on the air.

Sam: You called the radio station?

Dr. Marsha: Sam, Sam, Sam, Are you with me?

Sam: Yeah, yes.

Dr. Marsha: Your son feels that since your wife's death you've been very very unhappy and he's genuinely5 worried about you.

Sam: Hey, get out here. Get out here! Come on. Now I'm not going to go through this alone.

Dr. Marsha: I think it's very hard for him to talk to you about all this and I thought maybe you and I could talk, maybe it would make Jonah feel a little better, Sam?

Jonah: Talk to her dad, she's a doctor.

Sam: Of what? Her first name could be "Doctor".

Jonah: Please?

Dr. Marsha: Sam. Sam. It's his Christmas wish.

Sam: OK.

Dr. Marsha: OK. Good. Now I know this is difficult, but how long ago did your wife die?

Sam: About a year and a half ago.

Dr. Marsha: Have you had any relationships6 since?

Sam: No.

Dr. Marsha: No? Why not?

妙词佳句，活学活用

1. tune2 in

在这里要点一下，这可不是turn in而是 tune in，是在广播中经常会听到的一句话，意思是“调台”。这里主持人说if you just tune in意思就是“刚刚听此节目的听众”。

2. The Ginsu knives

Ginsu是在美国比较有名的刀具牌子。因为价钱不贵，样式新颖又耐用，Ginsu很快就成了大众消费品。久而久之当人们说到刀的时候很自然的就说到Ginsu knives。


3. Are you with me?

很地道的表达方式，意思是“你在听我讲话吗？” Are you listening to me？这种讲法也是可以的。

4. A year and a half

“一年半”的意思。我们在表达“半年”这个概念时，会很自然的想到 half a year。然后不假思索的把一年半说成 a year and half a year。其实这是不对的，正确的说法应为 a year and a half.
