Unit 14 - Karaoke/Singing With Friends 唱歌-2

STEVEN: I don't know. I never went to one. 史提芬:我不知道,我没去过。

ALBERT: Never? Really? I'm surprised. 艾博特:没去过?真的?我很惊讶。

STEVEN: Why should you be? Many Americans have never gone to a KTV. It's not an American thing to do. 史提芬:有什么好惊讶的?很多美国人都没去过 KTV,这不是美国人的活动。

ALBERT: But there are a lot of KTVs in town. There's one just two blocks from here. 艾博特:但是镇上有很多家 KTV,离这里两条街的地方就有一家。

STEVEN: That's because there are a lot of Asian immigrants here. All their customers are Asians. Americans don't usually go out to sing with their friends.
史提芬:那是因为这里有很多亚洲移民。他们的客人都是亚洲人。美国人通常不会和朋友出去唱歌。

ALBERT: I suppose. It's true that when I go to a KTV here in town, there are almost no Westerners. 艾博特:我想也是。的确是真的,我去镇上的 KTV 时,几乎都没有西方人。

STEVEN: See? 史提芬:看吧?

ALBERT: But you know, Steven--half of the employees in our company are from Japan. So going to a KTV would be fun for them. 艾博特:你知道吗,史提芬,我们公司有一半的职员都是从日本来的,所以对他们来说去KTV 会很好玩。
