士丹利英语口语第 70 课: Wanna watch? 想看吗？

Nikki: Ha-ha. That's funny. Some white people think it's European. Well, there's a strong black legacy in the sciences. [thump, thump] 哈哈。真有意思。有些白人以为它是欧洲国家。呃，黑人在科学这方面留下了许多遗产。（砰砰声传来）

Wen: I'm sure there is. I just never learned about any black scientists. [pointing at a poster] Who's this George Washington Carver? 我相信。我只是从未听过黑人科学家。（指着一张海报）乔治华盛顿卡佛是谁？

Nikki: He's a chemist who invented peanut butter. This guy [pointing] was Benjamin Banneker, an architect who helped design D.C. [thump] 他是位发明花生酱的化学家。这个人（指着另一人）是班杰明班诺克，他是一位协助设计华盛顿特区的建筑家。（砰砰声）

Wen: Cool. What is that noise? 了不起。是什么在吵啊？
