导播：Rebecca 主播：Jerry&Avalon&Fred&Sherry 2016 Presidential Debate Trump & Clinton Fred: Hello fellows I’m Frederick of GBT news. I welcome you to this..2016 the U.S. presidential debates, between Secretary of state Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump. This debate is sponsored by Commission on Presidential Debates… Jerry: Wake up Fred. Fred: Ah, yeah, Okay, I was actually kidding. But today, there is something big happening here, something that makes me excited. You guess what? We have 2 new English group hosts here! Right, we have 2 new hosts here, and today is their first show. Please, let me introduce the girls to you. Ah first… Avalon: Just wait a sec Fred. You know what, can I introduce myself instead of ah.. Fred: Well… Jerry: Sure, go ahead. Avalon: Thanks Jerry. (Introduction) Fred: Right, this is one of our new members, and let me keep the other one for now, cuz you will see her later on. Today, the first program is kind of a special one, just like I mentioned before, a debate is gonna happen. But the point is, Jerry is acting Mr. Donald Trump and our new host Avalon, is acting Hillary Clinton. (Pause) Now, let’s welcome. (Applause) Trump: She talks about solar panels. We invested in a solar company, our country. That’s was a disaster. They lost plenty of money on that one. Now, look, I’m a great believer in all forms of energy, but we are putting a lot of people out of work. Our energy policies are a disaster. Our country is losing so much in terms of energy, in terms of paying off our debt. You can’t do what you’re looking to do with $20 trillion in debt. The Obama administration, from the time they’ve come in, is over 230 years’ worth of debt. And he’s topped it. So I will tell you this. We have to do a much better job at keeping our jobs. And we have to do a much better job at giving companies incentives to built new companies or to expand, because they’re not doing it. And Hillary, I just ask you this. You’ve been doing this for 30 years. Why are you just thinking about these solutions right now? For thirty years you’ve been doing it, and now you’re just starting to think of solutions. (C: Well, actually…) T: I will bring…excuse me. T: I will bring back jobs. You can’t bring back jobs. C: Well actually, I have thought about this quite a bit…/ T: Yeah, for thirty years… C: And I have …well, not quite that long. Ah..I think my husband did a pretty job in the 1990s. I think a lot about what worked, and how we can make it work again…( T: Well, he approved NAFTA..)…million new jobs, a balanced budget…( T:He approved NAFTA, The North American Free Trade Agreement)…(Income,)…(which is the single worst trade deal ever approved in this country.) C: Incomes went up for everybody. Manufacturing went up also in the 1990s, if you’re actually going to look at the facts. When I was in the Senate, I had a number of trade deals that came before me, and I held them all to the same test。Will they create jobs in America? Will they raise incomes in America? And are they good for our national security? Some of them I voted for. The biggest one, a multinational one known as CAFTA, I voted against. And because I hold the same standards as I look at all of these trade deals. But, let’s not assume that trade is the only challenge we have in the economy. I think it is a part of it, and I’ve said what I’m going to do. I’m going to have a special prosecutor. We’re going to enforce the trade deals we have, and we’re going to hold people accountable. When I was secretary of state, we actually increased American exports globally 30 percent. We increased them to China 50 percent. So I know how to really work to get new jobs and to get exports that helps to create new jobs… T: But you haven’t done it in 30 years or 26 years or any number you want to… C: Well, I’ve been a senator, Donald..(You haven’t done it, you haven’t done it.) ..And I have been a secretary of state..(Excuse me.)..And I have done..(Your husband signed NAFTA, which was one of the worst things that ever happened to the manufacturing industry..)..Well, that’s your opinion, that is your opinion. T: You go to New England, you go to Ohio, Pennsylvania, you go anywhere you want, Secretary Clinton, and you will see devastation, where manufacturing is down 30, 40, sometimes 50 percent. NAFTA was the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere, but certainly ever signed in this country. And now, you want to approve Trans-Pacific Partnership. You were totally in favor of it. Then you heard what I was saying, how bad it is, and you said, I can’t win that debate. But you know that if you did win, you would approve that, and that will be almost as bad as NAFTA. Nothing will ever top NAFTA. C: Well, that, that is just not accurate. I was against it once it was finally negotiate and the terms were laid out. I wrote about that in… …… Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is Frederick speaking, how are you doing out there. As is the eleventh of this term you should have been busy right? Great relief, as many of your lessons are done with. I hope that your grades, all of yours, could be nice and neat. And it finally comes to this day! Just as I have always been talking about, for such a long period of time, our kids are great, by any measures, in all aspects. Okay let the opening be brief, I&`&m proudly introducing you, Sherry. Sherry, come and meet our lovable audiences. S: Hello guys, my name is Sherry, nice to meet you, it&`&s an honor and a blessing to be here broadcasting, and don&`&t worry, we will soon be familiar with each other. I believe we will be doing well right? F: Times up Sherry we&`&ve got works to do. S:Wait, who is the one speaking? Where are you? Fred? I can’t find you. F:I am here. But I can’t see you two, Sherry. S:Ha-ha, just a joke. Take it easy. F:Seriously, the damn haze. I hate it. S:Em, well, you know, if you get used to it then you can ignore it. F:That’s the point. More importantly, I don’t like wearing masks, you know how uncomfortable it is to do so, but now I always have to do so. S:Oh,come on. Wearing masks could protect us from air pollution, especially ‘the damn haze’. It’s good for our health so just keep it on your face when you’re out. F:Ok, well, I will, for my health. And you too. S:Sure. By the way, since it’s already November now, have you started to review your lessons? F:Em, well, no. I have been occupied with all kinds of things. Writing essays, changing my major subjects, and of course, attending social activities. S:No wonder you hardly show up in certain occasions. It seems that you don’t even worry about the final exams. F:Don’t be so nervous. It’s ok. I can handle this. Ah, I’ve heard that there will be a singing contest on our campus in November. S:Exactly right. Would you like to… F:No, no, thanks. I’m not good at singing at all. But I’m quite interested in the contest and want to watch it as an audience. Just as an audience. S:Yeah, I know. I believe it will be extremely perfect and won’t let you down. Those voices of the singers who attend the contest are really amazing. Em, I can’t find an appropriate word to express my feeling. I think, maybe, marvelous? You really should come. F:Surely I will. What are you watching on your computer? Movies? S:Nope. It’s a TV series, called ‘Gran Hotel’ in Spanish. It’s worth seeing. F:What’s it about? Is it an introduction of the history of the hotel or something like that? S:Not exactly. This TV series narrates a large proportion of amazing stories which are set in the Gran Hotel in 1905.The plots are complicated and exciting and the most important thing is that the leading actor looks very,very handsome. F:Ah, I know. Girls are always attracted by handsome guys and all the other things actually do not matter anymore. Well, it’s just a joke. Please don’t take it seriously. Em, talking about this… What’s your hobbies? Watching TV series? S:Not really. It’s just part of my hobbies .I love traveling, watching movies and listening to music. F:Em,well, I prefer sports. S:That’s quite normal. After all, boys are totally different from girls .As for me, I don’t like sports, or you can say, I hate sports. Just like you hate ‘the damn haze’. Ha-ha. Never mind. F:Don’t you say! The worst time is yet to come. But why do you compare sports to haze, after all? You know, they do differ greatly from each other. S:To let you better understand that my feeling towards sports is the same as yours towards haze. F:All right. There is a sentence prevalent on the Internet recently, which is exactly what I want to say to you. ‘As long as you are happy, everything is ok then.’ S:In fact, it is my first time to be here to record a program, which is in the form of conversation. Did you feel nervous when you recorded your first program last year? F:Not really. Em, well, kind of. But this sense disappeared soon after the recording began. Actually, I don’t remember that day so clearly for now I have recorded a sequence of programs in various styles. S:Yep, I have the confidence that I can do this as well as you can. F:Of course, I believe you can. Today is Singles’ Day. Have you bought lots of things since girls like shopping? S:Yes, I have bought two new scarves, one for my mom and the other for myself. I have also bought a pair of boots because the winter in Beijing is too cold. In addition, lots of delicious snacks are necessary. That’s all. F:Em, what you bought sounds reasonable. S:What about you? F:Me? Some masks… oh, please don’t laugh… a thick sweater, and a black woolen coat. They are all practical and durable. S:I think so. You are such a virtuous guy, aren’t you? Ha-ha. F:Yep. I still don’t have a girlfriend. What a pity! Ha-ha, jokes, never mind. Well, Sherry have you been following the US presidential election that took place recently? S: I am not that into it but of course I know one or two about it, as it is so widely put forward by literally all of my friends on Weibo and Wechat. It seems that both Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton are accused of having done something abominable. The news are everywhere and bring a deluge of criticism to both the candidates. F: Sure you do, so does it happened in my Wechat. S: It seems that everybody is so interested in the topic, yesterday I even heard two workers talking about the result of the election outside the campus. F: Of course, for this deal really means business. But no, not all of them are that interested in it as you said, maybe it&`&s just about following the tide. I doubt whether they know S: Yes you are right, I don&`&t they really know about what&`&s going on, the workers I mean, no offense. One got involved in sexual assault and was regarded as a simpleton while the other was concerned with betrayal of the USA and was considered as a lunatic. Oh, come on, there are a large number of scandals and lots of dirt. I mean, isn’t it ironic? F: Yes, I know, nice as you are, you won&`&t have the intension to hurt the others, but I would also say, this two candidates are like never before. Now that Mr. Trump has already been elected the next and maybe the final president of the United States of America, well, what&`&s your opinion towards this event? S: Oh that racist, no, personally don&`&t like his characteristics, but speaking of his political ideas… I found that I don&`&t know much about it. F: Well, I know it. In order to get a better insight look into the issue, will you consider a, role play game? S: Role play? Sounds pretty interesting. F: Great, just as planned. Here&`&s the script.......
