Embarassing Moment 尴尬的时刻

My most embarrassing moment was probably when I lived in Germany. One day I decided to go shopping and I drove into town. I had a car. And I was very, very pleased because I found a parking space immedately which was rather unusual. I did my shopping, which only took half an hour and I went back to my car, and to my absolute horror it was no longer on the ground but it was suspended in the air. I really did not know what to do at this point so I walked back into town and I went to the police station. The police were very kind to me and I was very grateful for that and they interviewed me.

我最尴尬的时刻发生在我住在德国的时候。有一天我决定去购物,于是我开车去了城里。我有一辆车。我非常非常高兴,因为我很快就找到了停车的地方,这相当不寻常。我购物的时间大概只用了半个小时,然后我回去找我的车,让我感到非常可怕的是,我的车已经不在地上了,而是被悬挂在半空中。当时我真的不知道要做什么,所以我走回城里去了警察局。警察对我很友善,我对此很感激,然后他们询问了我情况。


Little Sister 妹妹

Kara: So, you mentioned there’s a large gap between the oldest and you being towards the youngest. What do you think the differences growing up were between your life and their life and what were the advantages and disadvantages?

卡拉:你之前提到过,在你的家庭里,最大的孩子和最小的孩子之间有很大的年龄差距。你认为在成长过程中,你的生活和他们的生活之间有什么不同?这种年龄差距又有何利弊?


Salary Caps 工资上限

Todd: So Greg in the last one we were talking about minimum wage, and this is one of the topics in your book and it’s about income disparity. One of the chapters is about income disparity. Now the opposite would be should there the a salary cap, which would mean that basically you could only earn so much, like let’s say you can only earn five million dollars, ten million dollars. Nobody could earn more than that. What do you think about that concept?

托德:格雷格,上期我们谈论了最低工资,你书中提到的一个问题是收入差距。你书中有一章专门讲述了收入差距。今天我们要谈的是相反的话题,应该设定工资上限吗?工资上限是指限定人们只能挣这么多钱,假设说只能挣500万美元或1000万美元。没有人的工资能超过这个限定。你怎么看这个概念?
