时差N小时 聊聊改变（在线收听）

Mike: I'm bored. Everything's the same every day. I want to make a change.

迈克：我好无聊。每一天都是一样。我想做些改变。

Amanda: What kind of change?

阿曼达：怎么改变？

Mike: I think I'll shave my head bald.

迈克：我想我会把头发剃光。

Amanda: Why on earth would you do that? What purpose would it serve? And what would your parents say about that?

阿曼达：你到底为什么那样做？又能有什么用呢？还有你的父母对此怎么看？

Mike: I won't tell my parents till afterwards. It's better to ask forgiveness than permission. As for why, I already told you! For a change! For something new! No other real purpose, but a bald head would be good for reflecting light if the power goes out.

迈克：我会事后再告诉我的父母。与其获得许可，还不如请求他们的原谅。至于为什么，我早就告诉过你！为了改变自己！为了新事物！没有其它具体目的，要说有，那就是在断电时，光头还能反光。

Amanda: Did you get that idea from a TV commercial?

阿曼达：你是从电视广告上得知那个主意的吗？

Mike: Sort of. Actually you just reminded me of it, but the commercial was probably in the back of my mind. I just want to do anything crazy and different.

迈克：差不多。其实你只是提醒了我，它一直存在于我的内心深处。我只是想做一些疯狂、与众不同的事情。

Amanda: Maybe I should try wearing sweaters all summer. That would be different.

阿曼达：或许我该尝试一下整个夏天都穿毛衣。这会显得与众不同。

Mike: That would be ridiculous! At least having a shaved head would keep me cool. Why don't you dye your hair purple?

迈克：那真是太可笑了！至少剃光头能让我凉爽。为什么你不把头发染成紫色？

Amanda: I'm not as desperate for a change as you are. A change for me would be starting a new hobby or just buying something new.

阿曼达：我不像你那样渴望改变。我的改变方式会是培养新的爱好，或者买些新东西。
