中英文本
Brenda: I have to return these movies in the drop box today or I’ll have late fees. Can I get you anything while I’m out?
布伦达:我今天必须把这些电影放在投递箱里退回去,否则就要收滞纳金了
Jang: Are you still renting movies from the video store? I use a service that delivers the movies to my mailbox. There are never any late fees.
张:你还在音像店租电影看吗?我用的是将电影发送至邮箱的服务
Brenda: I’ve thought about subscribing to one of those services, but I think I would really miss browsing at the video store. I like checking out the new releases and staff picks, and you never know what you’ll find to buy in the bargain bins.
布伦达:我曾经考虑过订阅其中一项服务,但我想我真的会怀念在逛音像店的时光
Jang: Renting movies online is so much quicker and easier. I can browse the titles quickly, read the descriptions, read reviews, and sometimes even watch a trailer. Then, all I need to do is put the movie in my queue, and as soon as I mail one movie back, they send me another one. It’s that simple.
张:网上租电影又快又便捷
Brenda: It does sound easy, but not everything that’s easy is better. Some of us like to take our time to make our selections.
布伦达:听起来确实很方便,但并不是所有方便之事皆完美
Jang: Whatever. If you want to spend your time looking for movies rather than watching them, that’s your prerogative.
张:随便吧
Brenda: Are you really going to let me off so easily? I thought I was in for another one of your lectures.
布伦达:你真的这么轻易就妥协了?我以为我又要揪着我年到半天呢
Jang: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
张:方法已授,听不听在你
