#常精进English 3 Supergril Negotiate with Lex Luther
Lex: Ah, the maid of might(强大力量). What a surprise.
Kara(Supergirl): We know you've placed satellites around the world,
and when they sync up, they'll send out a signal
killing everyone you haven't brainwashed（洗脑）.
Lex: What do you want? A gold star?
Kara: I want you to disable the satellites.
You do that, I'll give you what you've always wanted.
Lex: What's that? And don't say hair, that's *low-hanging fruit*.
Kara: Me.
Lex: Well, that is tempting.
I assume there's no strings（线，绳） attached,
no trap（陷阱）, no attempt to outwit（瞒骗） me.
Or has the razzle dazzle of my immortality（不朽） made you forget that I'm the smartest man alive?
Do you really think I'd fall for something so prosaic（平凡的，乏味的）?
Kara: I'm wearing a Truth Seeker, and I think your obsession（困扰） with me outweighs（重要于） your desire to kill half the world.
I surrender.
Name the place, and bring a way to disable satellites.
Lex: Any place?
Kara: As long as no civilians（市民） get hurt.
Lex: The Fortress. One hour. I hear it's beautiful this time of year.
Kara: I'll send you the coordinates.
Lex Mother: You aren't actually considering going to the Fortress, are you?
Lex: Of course,
Lex Mother: it's a trap.
Lex: Ah, no. I'm taking advantage of an opportunity.
Supergirl hasn't seen new, improved me in action yet. I will destroy her.
Lex Mother: And while you're doing that, her friends will be busy undoing all your hard work.
Lex: With Supergirl out of the way, her friends will be easy targets.
And even if they're successful, at stopping my satellites,
I'm a god, Mother. I'll have plenty of time to fix what they mess up.
Lex: Oh, uh...
and *silver lining*... 一线希望
if Supergirl's friends *go behind my back* and take down my satellites,
you don't have to worry about Lena.
You see...
it is time to celebrate.
