Lesson11: A Score to Settle

第11课:报仇雪恨

David: Hey! Did you watch the news last night?

大卫:嘿!你昨晚看新闻了吗?

Samir: You mean about that couple that was kidnapped from that resort?

萨米尔:你是说那对从度假村被绑架的夫妇?

David: Yeah, it was kind of hard to miss. They must have had it on every channel.

大卫:是的,很难错过。每个频道都有。

Samir: Yeah, they said extremists did it. This's the third kidnapping this month. The Americans don't seem too pleased at this news.

萨米尔:是的,他们说是极端分子干的。这是本月第三起绑架案。美国人似乎对这个消息不太满意。

David: No doubt! It's the American tourists they've been targeting. If you ask me, they should just go in there with the army and settle the score once and for all.

大卫:毫无疑问!他们的目标是美国游客。如果你问我,他们应该和军队一起进去,报仇雪恨

Samir: I don't know. I don't think any of this violence will really solve anything. I mean, can't everyone just get along?

萨米尔:我不知道。我不认为这些暴力会真正解决任何问题。我是说,难道大家都不能和睦相处吗?

David: Would you say that if they were your family that they took? These guys know they can get away with it. That's why this's happening so much.

大卫:如果他们是你的家人,你会这么说吗?这些人知道他们可以逍遥法外。这就是为什么会发生这么多。

Samir: Still. You've seen what violence does. They'll probably call themselves martyrs for the cause or something.

萨米尔:还是。你已经看到了暴力的作用。他们可能会称自己为殉道者。

David: So you would rather just pay them the ransom money?

大卫:所以你宁愿只付给他们赎金?

Samir: No, but there has to be a better solution out there.

萨米尔:没有,但必须有更好的解决方案。
