问题描述:

dirt sells
I hate to tell you this,Joe,but people write books like this for money and because dirt sells.Just ask your old manager and mentor,Joe Torre,whose book - that's still on the best-seller list - is pretty embarrassing to a lot of people who got thrown under the bus.

我来补答
dirt在美国英文中是灰土、脏东西的意思.(不同于dirty stuff【意】下流、黄色).【例】sweep the dirt under the carpet (把脏东西扫到地毯下面,意指大事化小息事宁人).
Joe Torre 是美国一个职业棒球队的教练.他写了一本书描述职业棒球圈内的许多内幕和“隐私”.
从此对话的内容看,说话者对这种行为不满.在这里“dirt”是指隐私或内幕.dirt sells是说靠“出卖”隐私或内幕的书总是能有市场.
