2015年公共英语考试二级口语对话练习4

　　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
