地道美語向前沖：奧巴馬希望成為語言超人
本期內(nèi)容介紹：
日前，美國大選正在如火如荼的進(jìn)行中?，F(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在前去新墨西哥州拉票的時(shí)候，接受了之聲的采訪，當(dāng)被問到想擁有什么超能力時(shí)，奧巴馬回答說“希望能夠說任何一種語言”，不知道愛交際的總統(tǒng)此番表達(dá)一出，又有什么意味深長(zhǎng)的況味呢？
If President Obama could choose a superpower, what would he choose?
Obama chatted with the DJs at KOB-FM, a New Mexico pop radio station, and after a lengthy discussion about the relative merits of green and red chile, one of the DJs mentioned?The Avengers? (復(fù)仇者)and asked what superpower he would choose.
This sounds...it's kind of a weird superpower but, if I had something that I could immediately wish for, I would love to be able to speak any language. Now that's a weird superpower, I know that it might not come in handy to rescue folks from a burning building but I've always wished that whatever country I've went to, wherever I've met somebody who spoke a different language that right away I could speak their language. I'm a great believer in making connections with people. But if it's like an Avengers superpower, then the whole flying thing is pretty good… You can't beat swooping around, that looks like it might be fun.
