实战口语情景对话 第516期:Beirut Nights 贝鲁特夜店

Todd: So, Rina, you were saying Lebanon, or Beirut, has really good night clubs. (Mm-hm) Ah, what's a really cool night club in Beirut?
托德：丽娜，你说过黎巴嫩贝鲁特有非常棒的夜店。（嗯）贝鲁特非常酷的夜店都有什么？

Rina: My favorite night club was rated 5th in Maxim magazine, and it's called B. O. 18, and what it used to be was a Palestinian burial ground and,
丽娜：我最喜欢的夜店在《马克西姆》杂志上排名第五，名字是B. O. 18，那里以前是巴勒斯坦的墓地……

Todd: Wait a minute! (Yeah) It, there's no longer dead people there?
托德：等一下！（好）现在那里没有死人了吗？

Rina: No, no, no. It used to be. (OK) Just during the civil war, cause there was a 17 year war, and what it is, you walk up, you don't see anything, it's just a big open space, but you see these, like, almost like subway stairs going down, and you go down these stairs and the theme inside this place is death, and it's like a big coffin, so you have red velvet walls and all the tables are little coffins with Palestinian soldier pictures on it and single rows and it's just a really good, it's a really neat club. And I went to a lot of theme clubs, too, I went to one that's called The Music Hall and it's like just, like a big theater, it was just amazing.
丽娜：对，没有了，以前是墓地。（好）在长达17年的内战时期，那里什么都没有，就是一片开阔的空间，而现在那间夜店的楼梯像地铁楼梯一样，沿着这些楼梯走下去，里面是以死亡为主题的空间，就像一个大棺材一样，里面有红色天鹅绒的壁纸，所有桌子都是小棺材形状的，上面放有巴勒斯坦士兵的照片，以单行排列，那真的是一家又棒又干净的俱乐部。我去过很多个主题俱乐部，我去过一家名为“音乐厅”的俱乐部，里面布置的像大型剧院一样，非常不可思议。

Todd: So, what's The Music Hall like?
托德：那“音乐厅”是什么样的？

Rina: Um, well they had that night I went, they had five different groups: One American group, one Spanish, one Lebanese, and they all just, it's like a theater, like scene one, scene two, and each scene would be a different music, genre like, you know.
丽娜：嗯，我去的那天晚上有五个不同的组：一个美国组，一个西班牙组，一个黎巴嫩组，就像剧院演出的第一幕第二幕一样，每个场景都是不同的音乐流派。

Todd: That's pretty cool.
托德：那真是太酷了。

Rina: Yeah, it was cool.
丽娜：对，非常酷。

Todd: So, at these night clubs, how do people dress? What's the fashion?
托德：那人们去这些夜店时会怎么打扮？如何打扮才时尚？

Rina: Um, Lebanese girls, and people that were like Lebanese girls, they're very trend conscious. Oh, yeah. Like if it's in a magazine, they're wearing it type thing. They look down on anybody, that doesn't.
丽娜：嗯，黎巴嫩女孩有很很强的潮流意识。她们穿的衣服像杂志里介绍的一样。她们有种高高在上的感觉。

Todd: Ah, so.
托德：这样啊

Rina: Yeah, and it's all like, done up like they went to the salon that day to go out sort of thing.
丽娜：对，去夜店的那天她们会去沙龙做造型。

Todd: Wow! (Yeah) So we're talking, like the skimpy dressed that they have?
托德：哇！（对）她们会穿暴露的衣服吗？

Rina: Everything. Oh, yeah.
丽娜：当然会。她们什么都穿。

Todd: You're kidding. What do the guys dress like?
托德：你开玩笑吧。那男性一般穿什么？

Rina: Ah, the guys are, they dress prettier than some of the girls.
丽娜：哦，男性比有些女孩打扮得还漂亮。

Todd: No kidding.
托德：开玩笑吧。

Rina: Yeah, the guys dress really well, but very, just as I said, very trend conscious. Everybody's very image, image conscious. It's really a lot like Japan in that way.
丽娜：男性很会穿衣服，就像我刚说的那样，有很强的潮流意识。所有人都非常注意形象。其实在日本也是这样。

Todd: Mm, oh cool. Thanks.
托德：哦，真酷。谢谢你。
