地道美语听力练习:听广播

I like listening to the radio on my morning commute each day. This morning, though, my favorite DJs weren’t on the air.
我喜欢在每天早晨上班的时候听广播。然而今天我最喜欢的DJ们都不在线。

Howard:Do you know what happened to the Kelvin and Ben show this morning?
霍华德：你知道今早的卡列文和本的节目出什么问题了吗？

Robin:Kelvin and Ben are both on suspension. The FCC fined the radio station. Apparently, Kelvin and Ben said some things on the air two weeks ago that the FCC found objectionable.
罗宾：卡列文和本都被停职了。联邦通信委员会罚款广播电台。很显然，卡列文和本两星期前在节目里说了一些被联邦通信委员会认为有异议事。

Howard:That’s crazy! Kelvin and Ben are shock jocks. They’re supposed to say things that are provocative. They work in a big market producing a morning show with a lot of competition. They have to push the envelope.
霍华德：太难以置信了！卡列文和本都属于调侃型的节目主持。他们会说出一些挑衅性事情。他们所在的晨档栏目听众众多，但竞争也很激烈。他们不得不越过底线。

Robin:That may be true, but the FCC said that they went too far. On Mother’s Day, they invited several mothers to be in-studio guests for a segment. They cursed them, said sexually explicit things, and called them obscene names.
罗宾：这也许是真的，但是联邦通信委员会表示他们太放肆了。在母亲节那天，他们邀请了几位母亲到播音室做客。他们在节目中咒骂，说很露骨的话，并用脏话称呼她们。

Howard:They did that?!
霍华德：他们真的这样做了？

Robin:I guess you weren’t listening that morning.
罗宾：我猜你那天早上没有听广播。

Howard:No, I wasn’t. Now I’m truly shocked!
霍华德：是的，我没有听。现在我真的很震惊！
