有关选举情景对话
1：
Man: I wish the politicians would quit digging up dirt about each other's past.
我希望政客们不要再继续挖掘彼此过去的丑闻。

Woman: I know. It really makes all of the whole election process.
我也这么想，这让选举过程变得好乱。

Man: And it takes up all the news.
而且也占据了新闻的版面。

Woman: The problem is that there always a large number of people who eat that kind of stuff up.
问题是有很多人就是爱看这类新闻。

Man: It's so small. The fact that there is public interest, doesn't say much for us as the public.
这是很微不足道的事，事实上还有民众利益，都没有对我们这些大众提到太多。

Woman: Have you ever listened to AM radio? It's quite a different experience than the traditional news stations on TV and FM radio.
你收听过AM电台吗?它和传统的新闻电视台及FM电台很不一样。

Man: I don't remember the last time I listened to AM radio.
我上次收听AM电台是好久以前的事。

Woman: Another place you can get real insight is European papers. You can get them on-line.
欧洲的报纸也可以看到比较真实的见解，你可以上网阅读。

2：
Man: I still haven't received my voter registration card.
我到现在都还没收到投票登记卡。

Woman: I wonder what happened?
不知道发生什么事?
Man: I don't know, but I don't think I can vote without it.
不知道，可是没有那张卡，我就没办法投票了。

Woman: No, you can't.
的确不行。

Man: Who can I call to hunt it down for me?
我要打电话给谁才能找到那张卡?
Woman: Didn't you request it from the DMV when you got your new driver's license?
你去领新驾照时，好像是去机动车管理所拿的。

Man: That's right. I'll just call the DMV.
没错，我这就打电话给管理所。

Woman: And if they don't know how to assist you, you could try the city offices.
如果他们不知道要怎么帮你，你还可以打电话给市政府。

3：
Boy: We need to elect club officials before the summer starts.
我们必须在放暑假前选出社团干部。

Girl: I guess we should start with nominees first.
我想我们应该先推举候选人。

Boy: Let's make it the first item of business in our next meeting.
好，把它列为我们下次开会时第一件要做的事。

Girl: We should probably let everyone know ahead of time so they will be prepared.
我们可能要在会前先告诉其他人，这样大家才能准备。

Boy: Can you take care of sending out a bulletin by e-mail to all the club members?
你可以写电子邮件通知所有会员吗?
Girl: Yes, I can do that this afternoon.
可以，我今天下午就可以寄出。

Boy: Let's schedule the actual election times the week after the nominations. Doesn't that seem logical?
我们就把实际选举时间定在候选名单出炉之后的下一周，这样应该很合理吧?

是很合理，我把它记在日程表上。

我们昨晚和学长学姐聊过，问了一些班长要负责的事情。

Boy: Yes. Did you know that the senior class president works for the class for life? The job doesn't stop when we graduate.
是的，你知道班长要终身服务班上同学吗?即使我们毕业，这个工作也不会结束。

Girl: Really? What is there to do after we graduate?
真的?毕业后还要做什么?
Boy: Every class reunion is organized by the president and council and anything our class does for the school in later years is headed by the president.
班长和其他干部要负责筹划每届的同学会，而班上同学之后几年为学校做的任何事，也是由班长发起的。
