美语会话实录第205期(MP3+文本):In full swing!

英文原文:

After the meal
Rich: Are you going to watch the Indy Five Hundred on TV this weekend?
Taylor:I'm not really into racecar driving.
Rich: You were when we were in high school. That, and baseball.
Taylor:Yeah, well, times change. Look at you-you're a father now. You can't say that you haven't changed.
Rich: True, but I still have to watch my baseball. The season's in full swing now.
Taylor:I mean, I know spring training's over, but I'm just not into all that.
Rich: Hello? Is the real Taylor in there?

参考译文:

餐后
李奇：你这周末要看印地安拿波里五百大赛车的电视转播吗？
泰勒：我其实对赛车兴趣不大。
李奇：我们高中时，你倒挺有兴趣的。除了那个外，还有棒球。
泰勒：对呀，时空背景变了。看看你——你现在是个爸爸了。你可别说你都没变。
李奇：的确，但是我还是非看棒球不可。现在球季正打得火热呢。
泰勒：我是说，我知道春季训练已经结束了，但我就是对那些不感兴趣。
李奇：哈啰，真正的泰勒在里面吗
