标题：美语三级跳 Go English：016A 社会文化: 初级课程 听力内容： Jane和Will初次约会，想多了解对方，他们谈到了彼此的宗教信仰。Jane的父母来自中国，她是个佛教徒，Will则在美国长大，信基督教。 Professor: That's right, Winnie. When you talk about religion, it's important not to offend other people. 没错，在美国，宗教信仰是私人事务，也是个敏感话题，所以谈到这个问题的时候要礼貌、小心， 不然可能会 offend other people - 得罪别人。 Will: So Jane, what religion are you? Jane: I guess I'm a Buddhist because both my parents are Buddhist. But I'm not really practicing. Will: I see. So you don't pray very often? Jane: No. The only time I pray is during the holidays with my parents. 哇，Will 怎么一上来就问人家的宗教，这个约会开场白还真少见。 Professor: Right. And what does Jane say? Jane说，因为她父母都是佛教徒，所以她自己应该也算是个佛教徒，不过她并不真的practice。 Professor, practice a religion 就是虔诚地信奉某个宗教，按宗教教义来生活的意思吧？ Professor: Exactly. For example, a practicing Jew would go to the synagogue every Friday to pray. |
