Jane: Well, could you still tell me why Oprah is so popular?
Sam: Probably because she has an amazing talent for connecting with people on TV. She doesn't do politics. She talks about personal stuff with her guests.
Jane: That sounds refreshing. And she gives away lots of stuff, too, right?
Sam: Yeah, sometimes. But she also has all these other businesses, too.
Jane: Like what? Does she own Pontiac?
Sam: No, but she has a magazine, a book club, a movie production company, etc. She's the first black female billionaire.
Jane: That's amazing. No wonder Pontiac would want to use her show.

珍：嗯，你还是可以告诉我为什么欧普拉这么受欢迎吗？
山姆：也许是因为她在电视上和人相处的惊人天份吧。她不做政治议题。她都和来宾谈论私人的东西。
珍：那听起来蛮新鲜的。而且她还送很多东西，对吧？
山姆：对，有时候。不过她还有很多其它的事业。
珍：比如说？她拥有庞帝克？
山姆：不是，不过她拥有一本杂志、一个读书俱乐部，还有一个电影制片公司等等。她是第一位的女黑人亿万富翁。
珍：真是令人讶异。难怪庞帝克愿意利用她的节目。
重点解说：
★ talent (n.) 天份
★ connect (v.) 连接。对话中的talent for connecting with people是指'与人接触，相处的天份'
★ guest (n.) 客人，来宾
★ refreshing (a.) 令人耳目一新的
★ billionaire (n.) 亿万富翁
★ use (v.) 利用，使用 | |

The most radical change, however, came about in the 1988 licensing laws which allowed pubs in England and Wales to open not just at lunch time and in the evening, but all day, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. (Scottish laws already permitted all-day opening.) About a third of the pubs take advantage of this, though Sunday hours remain 12-3 p.m. and 7-10:30 p.m. (12:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m. and 6:30-11 p.m. in Scotland). Twenty minutes "drinking up" time is officially allowed after the closing time, half an hour for those who have had a meal.
然而，最根本的变化发生在1988年。那年颁布的法律特许英格兰和威尔士的酒馆不仅可以在午饭时间和晚上营业，而且整天都可以营业，从上午11点到晚上11点。（苏格兰的法律早就允许全天营业了。）大约1/3的酒馆充分利用了这一点，尽管在星期天营业时间仍然是中午12点到下午3点，晚7点到10点半（在苏格兰是下午12点半到2点半，晚6点半到11点）。官方允许关门之后还可以再呆20分钟将酒"喝完"，吃了饭的人则可以再呆半个小时。 | |
