[-1:42.50]唔，如果让我说，人们没有意识到核辐射有多危险。
[-1:43.00]B:The thing to keep in mind is that our oil and gas resources are limited.And furthermore,...
[-1:43.50]我们应该牢记的一件事就是我们的石油和煤气资源是有限的。而且……

[-1:48.00]A:You're probably right.I guess we just don't see eye to when it comes to nuclear energy.
[-1:48.50]也许你是对的。我想，我们在核能方面就是无法达成共识。
[-1:49.00]B:I guess not.
[-1:49.50]我想也是。
