| 标题 | 口语交际:他被抓起来了 He got arrested |
| 内容 | A：Can you believe the headlines? 你相信新闻报道吗? B：What are you reading? 你在看什么? A：I'm reading about Michael Milliken, the Bond King. 我在看关于保债券大王麦克?米昂肯。 B：Didn't he sell worthless stocks to people or something? He got arrested for that, didn't he? 难道不是他卖给人们一些无价值的股票或什么的吗?他因此事被捕了，是不是? A：He got arrested all right. 他罪有应得。 B：If I remember, he got off with a light sentence. Something like three years in a minimum-security prison. 如果我没有记错，他判刑很轻。好像只在一个安全保障最低的监狱里呆三年。 A：Yup, that's him. He made millions of dollars selling bonds to people and ended up with a pile of cash when they became useless. 是，那就是他。他卖保债券给别人，赚了数百万美元，当这些债券变得毫无价值时，他却得到了一堆现金。 B：I think the government fined him a small amount, and he kept the rest in his foreign bank accounts. He's still a millionaire. 我认为政府罚得很少，他把剩余的钱存在他国外的账户里。他还是百万富翁。 A：That's the kind of thing in America that gets me mad. Some guy pulls off a stock scheme and makes millions while spending the bare minimum sentence in jail. 在美国那是我狂怒的一件事。一个家伙搞证券阴谋，赚取了数百万，而只判了明显最轻的罪入狱。 B：I know. And some poor guy that robs a liquor store makes $500 at most and ends up in jail for five to ten years. 我知道。而一个穷人抢劫一个小酒店最多得到500美元而同时判刑入狱5至10年。 A：Yup, you got it. Criminals in America do a lot better if they're white-collar thieves. 是，你说得对。在美国，如果罪犯是白领阶层的，判罚就会轻得多。 B：So what's Michael Milliken up to these days? 那么，麦克?米昂肯现在在忙什么? A：He's giving lectures on business at colleges. 他在大学做商业演讲。 |
