  • which seems like it comes out of nowhere, or it's already been answered.

    問題卻扯不上關係或是 來賓已經回答過了

  • That means the host probably stopped listening two minutes ago

    這表示主持人可能兩分鐘前就沒在聽了

  • because he thought of this really clever question,

    因為他一想到 這個非常機智的問題

  • and he was just bound and determined to say that.

  • are much more aware that they're going on the record,

    非常明白他們的談話會被播放出去。

  • And look, I know, it takes effort and energy

    我知道真正地專心聽別人講話

  • to actually pay attention to someone,
