公共英语PETS-2每日对话练习(26)

 Shelly: Isn't this already the second time he's been accused of child molestation? I don't think he'll be able to Moonwalk his way out this time.
　　 Aliang: He's done other weird things, you know. Like when he held his kid over a balcony.
　　 Shelly: Yeah. That was shocking. There have always been so many rumors about him.
　　 Aliang: You mean like his multiple plastic surgeries.
　　 Shelly: And the way people say he dyed his skin white.
　　 Aliang: He looks more and more like an alien every year.
　　 Shelly: Just imagine how the other prisoners are going to treat him behind bars.
　　 Aliang: I hope for his sake that he's really as “Bad” as he says he is.

　　 莎莉：这次不是他第二次被控告性骚扰儿童了吗？我不认为他这次能够用月球漫步的方式脱身。
　　 阿良：他还做了其它的怪事。好比他还把他的小孩举出阳台外。
　　 莎莉：是啊。那次真吓人。一直都有一堆关于他的传言呢。
　　 阿良：你是说好比他做过的一堆整形手术。
　　 莎莉：还有传言中他把皮肤染白的方式。
　　 阿良：他一年比一年看来更像是外星人。
　　 莎莉：想想看其它的囚犯在监狱里会怎么对待他吧。
　　 阿良：为了他好，我希望他真的会有自己说的那么‘坏’

　　 重点解说：
　　 ★ moonwalk 月球漫步，麦克杰克森自创的招牌舞步也叫做Moonwalk，类似月球漫步状。此处说Moonwalk his way out即是语带双关的表示‘以月球漫步的方式脱身’，原本‘脱罪’的说法是walk one's way out
　　 ★ balcony (n.) 阳台
　　 ★ multiple (a.) 多样的，由许多部分组成的
　　 ★ plastic surgery 整形外科手术
　　 ★ dye (v.) 染
　　 ★ behind bars 在监狱服刑
　　 ★ for somebody sake 为了某人好。Bad是麦克的畅销曲之一，这里是语带双关，说麦克若要在狱中不被欺负，得像自己所唱的歌那样‘坏’才行
