BBC环球慢速英语 第50期:听众来信(4)
voice 2: Our next piece of mail comes from Victor in Brazil. Victor recently heard our program called 'Thin Models.' This program looked at clothes models. Many models try to copy a particular style — they try to be extremely thin. Often, they do this by starving themselves. They believe this will help them to find more modeling work. But this is very dangerous. It causes many health problems. And some women die. One of the stories in the program 'Thin Models' was about a model in Brazil. But one of our facts was wrong. Victor caught our mistake. He writes:
声音2:下一封信来自巴西的维克多。维克多最近听了《骨感模特》这期节目。在节目中,我们介绍了服装模特。许多模特都在模仿一种特定的风格,他们让自己骨瘦如柴。通常,他们通过节食来做到骨瘦如柴。他们认为这会帮助他们找到更多模特机会。但是这样做非常危险。这种方法可能引发许多健康问题。有些女性因此死亡。《骨感模特》中提到了一名巴西模特的故事。但是我们在节目中有一个常识性错误。维克多发现了这个错误。他写道:
voice 3: "Hi, I'm from Brazil and I love to listen to Spotlight... But I would like to say that there is an error in the program 'Thin Models.' You say that the capital of Brazil is Rio de Janeiro. But Rio de Janeiro was the capital from 1763 to 1960. Then the capital was changed to Brasilia."
声音3:“你好,我来自巴西,我很喜欢重点报道节目。但是我要指出《骨感模特》这期节目中的一个错误。节目中说巴西的首都是里约热内卢。但其实里约热内卢在1763年至1960年曾是巴西首都。而后巴西首都迁往巴西利亚。”
