弗朗西斯:
There are advertisements everywhere here in New York. The city is so bright at night, with all the neon signs.



香港到处都是纽约.晚上满大街都是霓虹灯.把城市照得太亮了.
拉尔夫:
I like it. It makes the city feel alive. I like all the different colors and I like the billboards with eye-catching pictures and slogans.



我喜欢霓虹灯.它们让城市变得有活力.我喜欢各种不同的色彩.还喜欢有醒目图片和标语的广告牌.
弗朗西斯:
I can`t agree. I think that there are too many of them. I think that companies spend far too much money on advertising. They should have lower prices instead.



我不能同意你的观点.我觉得这样的广告太多了.那些公司花在打广告上的钱太多了.还不如降低商品的价格.
拉尔夫:
I wish I could agree with you, but if companies didn`t spend money on advertising, no one would hear about their products. I agree that some forms of advertising can be annoying. I don`t like it when people try to give you leaflets with information about



我希望同意你的观点.但是如果公司不花钱打广告.就没人知道他们的产品.我承认有些广告的形式很令人反感. 我不喜欢有人给我发传单.上面都是我没兴趣买的产品信息.
弗朗西斯:
I also dislike having to listen to advertisements when they are broadcast in stores or on the subway.



我还不喜欢听商店和地铁里面播放的广告.
拉尔夫:
I couldn`t agree more. That annoys me too. With billboards, you can look away, but with broadcasts, you can`t avoid them.



我完全同意.我也讨厌那种广告.如果是广告牌.你可以不看它.但是广播.你却没法儿不听.
弗朗西斯:
Do you like the way that advertising agencies use comedy in their campaign?



你喜欢广告宣传里面有幽默的东西吗?
拉尔夫:
I suppose I do. I don`t like the way that advertising campaign often tells you if you don`t buy a certain product, you`re not cool or modern or something.



我想是的.我不喜欢那种老是告诉你.如果你不买某个产品.你就不够酷.时尚之类的广告宣传.
弗朗西斯:
That kind of advertising seems to be very common with brand name products. They are always trying to maintain brand loyalty.



那些品牌产品常常这样.它们总是想保持人们的品牌忠实度.
