Protest!

This is Action 5 News reporter Sarah O’Connell reporting live from Washington, D. C. where a protest has broken out. Thousands of angry citizens are protesting against the proposed bailout of the auto manufacturing industry! Sir, sir, Sarah O’Connell, Action 5 news. Can you tell us what’s happening?

这里是第五频道新闻记者莎拉·奥康奈尔在华盛顿特区的现场报道，这里爆发了一场抗议活动。数千名愤怒的市民正在抗议针对汽车制造业的拟议救助计划！先生，先生，我是第五频道新闻的莎拉·奥康奈尔。能告诉我们发生了什么吗？

Yeah, yeah, we’re here because we feel this is an injustice! The financial irresponsibility of big business has to stop! We’re there to show the government that we don’t like the way that they’re spending our tax dollars!

是的，是的，我们来这里是因为我们觉得这不公平！大企业的财务不负责任必须停止！我们要向政府表明，我们不喜欢他们花我们纳税钱的方式！

Sir but what exactly is making everyone so angry?

先生，但到底是什么让大家都这么愤怒？

It’s an absolute outrage, Sarah, the US government wants to give 25 billion dollars of taxpayers’ money to the auto industry. These are companies that have been mismanaged and are now nearly bankrupt.

这简直令人发指，莎拉。美国政府想用纳税人250亿美元的钱去救助汽车行业。这些公司管理不善，现在几乎破产了。

I see. But, many supporters of the bailout argue that it could help save the jobs of millions of hardworking Americans.

我明白了。但是，很多救助计划的支持者认为，这能帮助保住数百万辛勤工作的美国人的饭碗。

That maybe true, and I for one don’t want to see anyone lose their job, but how can these CEOs ask for a bailout when they’re making millions of dollars? And then, they have the nerve to fly to Washington in private jets! This costs hundreds of thousands of dollars! And they’re asking for money! That is just not right!

也许是这样，我也不想看到任何人失业，但这些CEO们自己赚着几百万美元，怎么还有脸来要救助？而且，他们还好意思坐私人飞机飞到华盛顿！这就要花几十万美元！他们却还在要钱！这太不像话了！

Good point. This is Sarah O’Connell reporting live from Washington D. C., back to you, Tom.
