[INT. (NEW YORK) ISAAC’S LOFT -- DAY]
 (Isaac opens the paint can. He moves frantically. Using his hands, he scoops out black paint and rubs it over an existing painting.)
SIMONE: (o.s.) Hey.
(Isaac stops and looks up to see Simone walking into the room.)
SIMONE: Oh, God, what? The silent treatment?(She puts her case up on the counter as she heads toward Isaac.) Oh, boy.
(Impatient, Isaac grabs the entire paint can and pours it over the canvass. He smears the paint with his hands completely obliterating the painting underneath.)
SIMONE: Isaac ... what are you doing?
(Isaac puts the canvass aside and heads back to pick up another painting. This time, he picks up the painting of the eclipse.)
SIMONE:………… (1)……………. .Isaac!
(He puts the painting on the easel and picks up the open can of paint.)
SIMONE: Okay, stop. What are you, crazy?
ISAAC: Clearly. (points to the paintings) I don't even remember painting these. I was high, okay? I lied to you.
(Simone looks through the sketches on the table.)
SIMONE: Damn it.
ISAAC: I've been chasing for a month.
SIMONE:…………(2)…………………
ISAAC: No, they're evil.
SIMONE: What are you talking about?
ISAAC: What am I talking about? Want to know what I'm talking about?
(Isaac rushes across the room and picks up a painting. He clears the table with a sweep of his arm and puts the painting on it. It’s a painting of a burning bus and car.)
ISAAC: ………………..(3)…………………….
SIMONE: Yeah, so?
(He picks up the newspaper and shows her the photo on the front page.)
ISAAC: So ... that's this morning's paper. Look at the number on the bus.
(They match: 009.)
ISAAC: This happened yesterday.
(He chuckles with scared disbelief.)
ISAAC: Yesterday. Something's wrong with me.
SIMONE: We'll get you help, Isaac.
ISAAC: I've tried that twice. There's only one way left, and you know it.
SIMONE: You can't go cold turkey. Not alone. I mean, let me help you, please.
ISAAC: No!
SIMONE: I love you.
ISAAC:………………..(4)………………(He sits down on the steps.) Just leave me alone.
(Simone kneels in front of him. She reaches out to touch him and he jerks away from her.)
ISAAC: (shouts) Get out of here!
(Simone raises her hands and stands up.)

我们都是凡人，都是奔波于生计、为琐事烦恼的凡夫俗子。
有的是单亲的母亲，为养活自己和儿子不得不做着下等的工作；
有的是政客，为了名利背弃良心；
有的是潦倒的落魄画家，用卖画得来的钱换回毒品，麻醉的创作……

正是我们这样的凡人，有一天，竟可以一飞冲天，读人心思，看透未来。
而且命运对我们说：赐予我们能力，是要去截断恐怖的黑手，阻止世界的毁灭。

于是，我们只能呼唤平凡内心中的英雄，勇敢面对生命中新的未知与危机。

Heroes正是一部描写“普通人与超能力”的剧作，由NBC在2006秋季首次推出。
电视剧一经播出便广受赞扬，一跃成为收视率冠军，是当年最炙手可热的新剧。

你喜欢英雄吗，羡慕他们的超能力吗？快来加入We are heroes吧，让我们和英雄们一起来体验他们的非凡经历吧~

从下期节目开始我会放上英雄的MP3音频，让我们一起来听译英雄的剧本吧，希望我们都能在轻松快乐中提高自己的英语能力，圆自己的“英雄”之梦~~

The two remaining candidates for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination,  --senator Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton have both warned of a pending recession and have laid the blame squarely on the Bush's administration. At a recent campaign debated in Texas, Obama spoke at length about the country's economic woes. "We You don't need the economist or the Federal Reserve to tell the American people that the economy is in trouble, because they have being been experienced it for years now." Clinton followed up with a list of specific economic trouble spots that must be addressed. Starting with cooperate tax regulations. "We are going to rid the tax code of this loopholes and giveaways, we are going to stop giving a penny of your money to anybody who ships a job about  out of Texas or Ohio or anyway else to another country." Both said the Tax Cuts campaign by president Bush have helped only the richest Americans and vowed put more of focus on tax relief for the middle class.

New economic data shows that the U.S. economy barely grow in the last quarter of 2007, some economists say that is another sign that the nation is moving toward a recession. But president Bush is more optimistic. "I don't think we are headed to recession, but no question we are in slowdown." At a White House news conference, the president said robust action has been taken to prevent recession. A reference to the economic stimulus package recent passed by the congress, that would will put rebate checks in the hands of many tax payers, and provide businesses with investment incentives. "Consumerism is a significant part of our GDP growth, and we wanna sustain. Tthe American consumer, encourage the American consumer, and at the same time we want to encourage investment.” Mr. Bush is was asked of if growing public unease about the economy might hurt his Republican Party in this year's presidential election. He refused to answer directly, saying his concern when dealing with the economy is not politics, but the welfare of the American people, and yet it is clear that the upcoming election may, in part, prove to be a referendum among the president's economic policies.

我的生词：

slowdown: n.降低速度, 减速

robust: adj.精力充沛的

unease: n.不舒适, 不安

referendum: n.公民投票, (外交使节)请示书

我的译文：2007年度最新的经济数据表明美国的经济几乎没有增长，一些经济学家说这是国家经济走向衰退的另一个征兆，但是总统布什表现的比较乐观。“我不认为国家在走向衰退，但是肯定的是我们的经济正在减速。”在白宫的记者招待会上，总统说，为了阻止经济衰退已经采取了积极的措施，大多的纳税人将会拿到退税支票，企业投资将会受到鼓励。“消费是GDP增长的一个重要部分，我们想要把美国人民的消费势头保持下去，刺激美国的消费，同时我们想要鼓励投资。布什还被问及美国公众对经济不满的增加是否会影响他的共和党在今年的总统竞选。他拒绝有正面回答这个问题，指明说，当处理经济问题时，他考虑得是人民的利益而不是政治利益，然而，显然在即将到来的选举一定程度上来说是对总统候选人经济政策的选举。

Vice chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Leslie Silverman said the goal of her agency was to eliminate discrimination in the work place. She said the U.S. had made substantial progress over the years. "At the years, see, EEOC, we do believe that the racial discrimination still occurs far too often in the employment context, and we also believe that stereotypes and unconscious bias contribute to this problem. That's why this past year we decided to take a new approach to combating race discrimination, which we call Erase ERACE and it stands for eradicating racism, colorism from employment.” Advocacy Director of the American Civil Liberty’s Union John Mil Duckwile Jamil Dakwar, was not impressed. He said the delegation presented existing laws, Supreme Court cases and other policies to justify their actions, but did not really address the questions and concerns of the committee. A coalition of 250 U.S.-based human rights organizations accused the United State of persistent and systematic racial discrimination. The committee based many of its questions on the 600-page report the coalition presented to it. The committee will present its final observations and conclusion in two weeks.

我的译文：平等工作机会委员会副主席Leslie Silverman说她的部门建立的目的就是要消除工作场所的歧视 。她说美国在些年来在这一方面已经取得了实质性的进步。“在EEOC，我们确实认为在雇用方面确实经常发生种族歧视问题，而且我们也认为旧的体制和没有意识到的偏见是造成这一问题的主要原因，所以我们在去年决定采取新措施在反对种族歧视。美国公民自由联盟负责人Jamil Dakwar却不这么认为。他说代表团拿出了现有的法律，最高法院的案例和其他政策来说明他们的行为是正确的，但却没有真正解决委员会所关心的问题。由250名美国人组成的人权组织指责了美国的长久持续的系统存在的种族歧视。基于该人权组织提交的600页的报告，平等工作委员会提出了很多问题，而且将在2周内上交最后的观察报告和结论。
