school talk show 2014.11.5
C: Hello my audience, welcome to the school talk show. I’m Carol, and here is my new partner Lynn.
L: Good evening everyone. I’m Lynn.
C: You know Lynn, it’s really a fresh felling to cooperate with you.
L: Relax. I am looking forward to see the privity we will make.
C: Well, I do find a common on something.
L: What?
C: You see the two telephones on the table have the same color and size!
L: OK, Carol. 我不否认我们用同一款iphone是我们通向默契的第一步.But do you know how many people use the same telephone as we do?
C: Although I can’t count the number of people accurately. I know the great influence that Apple make. Apple has topped a global ranking of the world's 50 most innovative companies for 9 consecutive years, Business Insider reported.
L: 连续九年夺冠？！
C: Yeah. 美国波士顿顾问集团访问了全球1500名年营收逾1亿美元大企业的创新技术主管，评比他们心目中的优良企业，得出该排名.
L: How about the other companies?
C: The list is led by technology groups, with Google, Samsung, Microsoft and IBM in spots 2 to 5, respectively. They are followed by Amazon, Tesla Motors, Toyota, Facebook and Sony in positions 6 to 10.值得一提的, the Chinese phone maker Xiaomi makes it all the way to 35th. Frankly, many students use Xiaomi in our scool.
L: Yeah, though Samsung and Apple dominate the smartphone business globally, the technology superpowers are being squeezed in China by aggressive local manufacturers. Statistics show that over 100m smartphones were sold in the 2nd quarter in China, accounting for over 1/3 of global sales and making China the world's largest market.
C: 所以中国手机真的要挺进世界了嘛！？
L: Maybe. Now Chinese firms are increasingly eyeing lucrative foreign markets.
C: Xiaomi’s top-notch performance and low price 的确能赢得年轻人的青睐。
L: As for students, the low price is the most attractive point. You know thereis a popular Chinese Internet term that means underprivileged losers ,who call themselves 屌丝.
C: Yep.
L: Xiaomi 等一系列的国产手机的问世简直是他们的福音。
C: 说起这个，recently a report of the life of the underprivileged losers was announced.
L: My god , '屌丝'生存报告都出炉了
C: According to a new report, the average monthly wage of a diao is RMB2917.7. The report on the life of diaosi, the first of its kind in China, was published by Peking University's Center for Market and Media Studies Wednesday. The paper also reports that 21.7% of diaosi work overtime, daily.
L: Stop, I just wanna cry.
C: Come on. You see, 72.3% of diaosi feel they are living an unhappy life, and 37.8% believe they suffer from psychological problems and haven't received proper counseling.
L: How do they get rid of the pressure?
C: Most of them turn to sleeping, talking about their troubles, and drinking to relieve stress.
L: In my mind, drinking is always the way to solve the question of love.
C: Well. As for 屌丝, Love is their another big trouble.
L: Don’t worry about. If I can’t find my charming, I would give myself a solo wedding.
C: Seriously?
L: Of course. Kyoto-based company Cerca Travel has set up a "Solo Wedding" for women unwilling to get married, foreign media reported.Women can have the full wedding day experience without actually having to get hitched.
C: 单身婚礼, sounds embarrassing.
L: It can’t be! 据悉，该服务提供2天的体验，顾客在酒店过夜，由专业人士为她们挑选婚纱，设计花束、发型和妆容以及拍婚纱照. Each of these services is handled by a professional as if it were a real wedding ceremony.
C: I don’t think you could have the day when you wear the wedding clothes alone. And you could never be one of the underprivileged losers
L: You do?
C: After all , you are the one who use Iphone!
