They were all dubbed into German.
    對話
    Simon: I've just come back from a great week in Germany staying with
    my friend but there was one thing I didn't like much.
    Martin: Don't tell me it was the beer?
    Simon: No, of course not; that was great.It was when they showed
    English-language movies on TV. They were all dubbed into German, which rather spoiled them for me.
    Martin: Your German's very good, so what was the problem?
    Simon: It just seemed a bit unnatural to see Tom Hanks in an American
    scene with German coming out of his mouth.
    Martin: But that's done for the Germans' benefit, not yours.
    西門:我剛剛從德國回來。我在那里過了一個星期,十分寫意,其間住朋友家中。只有一件事我不大喜歡。
    馬?。翰皇瞧【瓢桑?BR>    西門:不是,當(dāng)然不是,德國啤酒是頂刮刮的。我不喜歡他們電視播放的英語電影,都配了德語,我認為頗殺風(fēng)景。
    馬?。耗愕牡抡Z很好,那有什么問題呢?
    西門:看見湯姆.漢克斯在美國的環(huán)境里說德語,就是不大自然。
