地道美語聽力播客763: 社區(qū)不受歡迎的生意（雙語）

Patricia: Finally! That empty building has a new tenant. That’s great for the neighborhood. 
帕特麗夏：終于這個(gè)空房子迎來新的租客，對(duì)街坊來說是件不錯(cuò)的事。
Francois: Think again. The new tenant plans to open a strip club. 
弗朗索瓦：再考慮一下。新的租客打算開一家脫衣舞俱樂部。
Patricia: A strip club in the middle of a residential neighborhood?! That must be a violation of city ordinances. The city won’t allow that. 
帕特麗夏：居民住宅區(qū)開個(gè)脫衣舞俱樂部？這肯定有違城市條令，這個(gè)城市不會(huì)允許那樣做的。
Francois: I’m not so sure. The tenant has already started moving in and there is no sign that the city is going take action. 
弗朗索瓦：我不確定，租戶已經(jīng)開始往里搬了，沒有跡象顯示城市會(huì)采取什么措施。
Patricia: Then we have to do something to let the city know that we object to a strip club going into that space. 
帕特麗夏：那我們要做點(diǎn)事讓城市知道我們反對(duì)在那個(gè)地方開脫衣舞俱樂部。
Francois: Good luck getting the city to do anything, much less file an injunction. The mayor is very pro- business and it won’t look good if he tries to shut down any business that could bring revenue and jobs to this dying town. 
弗朗索瓦：這個(gè)城市能做點(diǎn)事就已經(jīng)很幸運(yùn)了，更不用說發(fā)布禁令了，不太可能。 市長(zhǎng)很親商，如果讓他試圖關(guān)閉能夠給這座垂死城鎮(zhèn)帶來收益和工作的生意，這似乎并不可行。
Patricia: But at what cost? Our kids will have to walk past the strip club every day to and from school. That’s outrageous! 
帕特麗夏：但是以什么為代價(jià)？我們孩子每次上下學(xué)的路上都會(huì)經(jīng)過那個(gè)脫衣舞俱樂部。這難以讓人容忍。
Francois: I suggest channeling that energy into action. If we make a stink and get media coverage, maybe we’ll get some action. 
弗朗索瓦：我建議將這種能量轉(zhuǎn)化成行動(dòng)。如果我們提出強(qiáng)烈抗議，引來媒體關(guān)注，或許我們能有些行動(dòng)。
Patricia: Good idea. How can we get the local media to cover a neighborhood protest? 
帕特麗夏：好主意。那我們?cè)趺茨茏尞?dāng)?shù)孛襟w來報(bào)到鄰里的抗議？
Francois: How about nude picketing? 
弗朗索瓦：來個(gè)裸體集會(huì)怎么樣？
Patricia: I think that would send the wrong message. 
帕特利夏：我想那樣做會(huì)傳遞錯(cuò)誤的信息。
