| 标题 | 英语口语情景对话第0546集：谈论地痞混混相关 |
| 内容 | 每个城市或多或少都有一群混混，不分时间地点的火拼对周围的居民会有很深影响。一起来讨论解决方法等吧。 Todd: Jeanie, you are from Philadelphia, correct? Jeanie: Yep. Todd: Now is Philadelphia a safe city? Do you have lots of crime? Jeanie: Yeah, we've got lots of crime. Depending on the area where you are. Um, where I grew up, I lived in a black ghetto where there was like gun shooting at least three times a week. Usually it was, it had to do with conflicts between African Americans and Jamacians, um, pretty territorial. Basically, the African Americans were there first and when the Jamacians moved in they decided that they wanted to take over so lots of wars going on along with that. Todd: That's pretty scary. Jeanie: Yeah, so. Todd: How did you get along? How did you survive or..? Jeanie: Um, well, I've always been to myself for the most part. A lot of people in the neighborhood, thought I was very strange because anytime you ever saw me I was walking around reading a book or something like that. I didn't have any friends, because everyone would always say I was too smart to hang with them or something like that, so yeah, I basically just kept to myself. When people wanted to fight me, instead of mouthing off which is a very big part of it, I would just sit there and say OK, let's fight and they didn't understand that kind of thing. They felt like, no we have to argue first, so I didn't encourage arguing and so they would feel intimidated just by feeling that maybe there was something more to me than they knew about. Todd: Wow! You're brave. You were saying earlier though that there is also a serious problem with Asian gangs. Jeanie: Yeah, in the neighborhood we moved into, I moved out of my old neighborhood when I was about 17, so my new neighborhood, we don't have so much of the African Americans versus the Jamacains, we have Korean gangs, and they're often at odds with the Hispanics. Todd: Man! Jeanie: Yeah, so not so much gun shooting. I don't really hear so much about guns in that area, but lots of knives and robberies and such things. Todd: Now do you think you have a solution to solve the problem, that we can get rid of these gangs. Is it just the poverty, or? Jeanie: It has a lot to do with the poverty, but a lot of it also is the image that these people are striving to achieve. They do rely heavily on Hip-hop, the Hip-hop culture. They feel like in order to be really cool, they've got to due this stuff that they see on TV. Todd: Ah, so it's like a peer pressure thing. Not a peer pressure, it's an image thing. Jeanie: Mm, very much an image thing. Todd: Wow. Jeanie: And sometimes the only way to survive is to actually join a gang so that you don't get hurt from just someone not liking you. Todd: Wow. Well, you have a very candid views and stories to tell so thank you very much Jeanie: No worries. |
