BBC环球慢速英语 第354期:听众来信(4)

voice 2: Mike's first program was not called Spotlight. Instead, he called it "a program in Specialized English." But in 2001, this Specialized English program got its name - Spotlight.
声音2：迈克第一期节目的名称并不是重点报道。他称之为“慢速英语节目”。2001年，慢速英语节目更名为重点报道节目。

voice 1: The first program to use the name Spotlight was the program "Responses to Suffering." This program told about different ways people react to tragedies and sad events. This was Spotlight's 86th program. A few programs later, we explained why we chose the name "Spotlight" for our Specialized English program. So, why is our program called Spotlight?
声音1：第一期以重点报道这个名字播出的节目名为《应对苦难》。这期节目讲述了人们应对悲剧和不幸事件的不同方式。这是重点报道的第86期节目。在以这个名字播出了几期节目之后，我们解释了将这个慢速英语节目的名称定为“重点报道”的原因。那为什么我们的节目名称是“重点报道”呢？

voice 2: In the program, "Spotlights," we explained that a spotlight is a strong and narrow beam, or line, of light. Spotlights can help people find things. They can place importance on a subject. A spotlight often shows a performer on a theatre stage. A spotlight can also help to lead people or show people the way. In a news story, a presenter can also "spotlight" a particular subject. He concentrates on one particular issue - like we do in our Spotlight programs.
声音2：在那期名为《重点报道》的节目中，我们解释说，聚光灯是一道强烈且狭窄的光束或光线。聚光灯可以帮助人们发现事物。还可以着重强调某个物体。聚光灯通常用来在剧院舞台上突出表演者。聚光灯还可以在引导人们或为人们指引道路时提供帮助。在新闻报道中，主持人也可以“突出”特定的主题。他会关注一个特别的问题，就像我们在重点报道节目中做的一样。
