《中英對照讀新聞》Britney Spears considering giving away sex tape for free？／「小甜甜」布蘭妮考慮免費發放性愛錄影帶？

Britney Spears is reportedly "seriously thinking about" giving away her $100million sex tape with husband Kevin Federline for free.

布蘭妮據傳正「慎重考慮」將她與丈夫凱文．費德林喊價1億美元的性愛錄影帶免費大方送。

A Spears family friend, Nyla Price, spoke to Britney about the divorce during the singer’s trip home to Louisiana last weekend.

布蘭妮家的友人奈拉．普萊絲，上週末在這位歌手回到她路易斯安那州的寓所時，與布蘭妮談到他們夫妻離婚之事。

Nyla subsequently told reporters： "Brit figures she’ll beat that sucker to the punch, just like she did by giving away pictures of [their second son] Jayden James."

奈拉隨後告訴記者說：「布蘭妮認為，她要先發制人，對付那個蠢蛋，一如她不惜讓（他們次子）傑登．詹姆斯的照片曝光。」

"Half of nuthin’ is nuthin’, and that’s what her lying skunk of a husband will get if she gives that video away before he can find some sleazeball to buy it."

「不值錢的東西，一半還是一文不值，如果她在他（凱文）找到一些混蛋買家之前，讓錄影帶曝光，她那個說謊的卑鄙丈夫，也別想得到任何一毛錢。」

Nyla added that despite rumours that the tape, filmed on their honeymoon, is four hours long, it is closer to forty-five minutes in length.

奈拉補充說，儘管謠傳這捲攝於他們蜜月期間的錄影帶全長4小時，但實際長度只有近45分鐘。
