三分钟两人英语对话：罪与罚

Crime and Punishment

Dialogue 情景对话1

Angelin: How are you doing?

Julian: I'm ok. I wish I could say the same for my friend.

A: What happened to him?

J: He was arrested by the police for drinking and driving.

A: Was it his first offence?

J: Unfortunately not. He was charged with a DUI when he was in university.

A: What happened to him then?

J: Not much; it was a minor offence back then. He got away with a fine of $ 500.

A: Did they take his license away?

J: No, they were really easy on him. The problem is that that was a long time ago. They're much tougher on crime now.

A: What do you think will happen to him?

J: Well, he'll definitely lose his license, pay a fine, and maybe even spend some time in jail.

A: That doesn't sound too promising. Does he have a defence lawyer?

J: Not yet. If we can't find a lawyer for him, then the state will appoint him with one.

A: My sister is a lawyer. I can ask her if she can help him.

J: That'd be great. I know he'd appreciate your help.

Dialogue 情景对话2

J: Anything interesting in the news tonight?

A: Do you remember that story about the woman whose children died of starvation?

J: Yes, that must have been on the news a few months ago.

A: Yes, well, she was found guilty of murder.

J: Do you think they will impose the death sentence on her?

A: I don't think so. Wasn't the death penalty abolished in that state decades ago?

J: It was abolished at one point, but I thought they brought back death by lethal injection.

A: I'm not sure. How do you feel about the death penalty?

J: I don't think anyone should be able to kill another human being unless it's in self-defence.

A: You know; paying for someone to sit in prison for the rest of his or her lives is quite expensive.

J: They should have the prisoners do something produc- tive in their time in jail to pay for their living costs.

A: I guess in an ideal world, it would all work out like that.

J: SO do you think they should just lock the mother up and throwaway the key?

A:I think they should lock her up and try to help her figure out Why she did such a horrible thing to her children.

J:Did she plead guilty or innocent?

A:Innocent, I think. But there was plenty of evidence that suggested otherwise. I don’t think anyone had a doubt in their minds that she murdered her children.

J:That’s such a shame. What kind of mother could do that To her children?

三分钟两人英语对话：其他社会问题

Dialogue 情景对话1

Erin: Did you know that abortion is still illegal in many states in the USA?

Drew: Why? I thought Americans were supposed to be more open than that.

E: Well, for many religious people, they believe that people who abort their babies are murderers.

D: Do you think most people in America believe that abortion is wrong?

E: No, I think it's mostly the older generation who are against abortions.

D: It's no wonder there are so many teenage pregnancies in America.

E: Religious people blame it on pre-marital sex, not on abortion being illegal.

D: What do you think about abortion?

E: I personally would never want to have one, but I think that since a pregnancy can affect a woman's entire life, she should have the right to decide for herself

D: Do you think the fathers should have some kind of say in the matter?

E: I know this is going to sound sexist, but I don't think that men should have to give their approval to the mothers of their children.

D: Why not? It's their children too.

E: That may be true, but when a woman gets pregnant, it changes her life completely. Men can still carry on with their lives after the birth exactly as they did beforehand.

D: That might be true, but I think men should have some kind of say in the matter.

Dialogue 情景对话2

D: What do you do when you see a homeless person on the streets begging for money?

E: I never really give them money because I don't want to contribute to their addictions.

D: Homeless youth can easily become involved with drugs and prostitution. Do you do anything to help them?

E: I usually ask them if they want some food and then give them something to eat. I figure that if they're homeless, they're probably hungry. D; That's a good idea. Do they usually accept the food?

E: Almost always. However, sometimes they get mad at me for not giving them any cash.

D: It's sad how more and more young people are sleeping on the streets in London now.

E: The cost of living in London is just too high for most people.

D: It's true. The economy is in a bit of mess at the moment.

E: Did you know that few people can pay the rent on minimum wage, let alone pay for food and other living costs?

D: There just isn't enough affordable housing to go around. If only the housing cost would drop, fewer people would be in financial trouble.

E: Added to that is the high unemployment rate right now.

D: Something's got to change-and it's got to happen soon.

E:Politicians like to ignore the problems of the working class. They like to focus on making life easier for the upper class.

D:I can only hope that one day that will change.
