【跟着英剧练发音】Parades End E01 - 3

 C- Christopher Tietjens

S- Sylvia Satterthwaite

M- Sylvia's mother

B- Bridget

 

M: Only you could be bored with the end of the world upon us.

S: Who says?

M: I says. The Prime Minister has asked the King to create 400 Liberal peers, so the working classes can have free medicines. Oh! But I see the Association of Domestic Servants is against the Insurance Bill. Why would that be, I wonder?

C: Now is your chance to ask. Thank you.

M: Go on, then.

C: Well, Bridget?

B: I'm sure I don'tknow, sir.

C: Well, I'm sure I do. It is because the National Insurance Bill violates that beautiful intimacy¹ that exists between a servant and their mistress. The Association of Domestic Servants is Tory through and through! Itis the duty of the employers to look after the welfare of their employees, and those who don't should go to prison.

 

 

文本翻译:

-谁说的?

-我说的.

-首相已经请国王新封400个自由党席位好让工人阶级有免费医疗, 但我看到家仆协会是反对保险法案的, 这是为什么呢?

-现在正是你问的好时机. 谢谢.

-说啊.

-Bridget?

-我不知道, 先生

-我知道. 因为国家安全法案剥夺了仆人和女主人们亲近的机会. 家仆协会是彻彻底底的保守党,照顾佣人是主人的责任,那些不这么做的人活该被扔进监狱
