情景对话
Todd:Hey, Mark, I heard that you mightbe interested inbuying a computer.
托德：嘿 ，马克，我听说你想买台电脑。
Mark:That's right. Yeah, I'minterested inbuying a Mac computer because I've never used Mac before.
马克：对。我想买台苹果Mac，我以前没用过Mac电脑。
Todd:Well, that is actually perfect because I have two MacIntosh laptops and I'm selling one of them.
托德：那太好了，我有两台MacIntosh笔记本电脑，我打算卖掉一台。
Mark:You're kidding.
马克：你开玩笑的吧。
Todd:Yeah.
托德：真的。
Mark:How much?
马克：你打算卖多少钱？
Todd:Well, I'll sell it to you for 20,000 Japanese yen, so that's almost 200 dollars. That's a pretty good deal. But there's a problem with it.
托德：我可以2万日元卖给你，大概200美元。这其实相当划算了。不过那台电脑有点问题。
Mark:What's the problem?
马克：什么问题？
Todd:The problem is the disc drive is broken, so sometimes if you put a DVD into the disc drive it doesn't work.
托德：光驱坏了，有时放入DVD光盘以后，光驱没有反应。
Mark:OK.
马克：知道了。
Todd:Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't work.
托德：有时可以正常读取，有时就没有反应。
Mark:Well, that's not too bad because I have another computer that I can watch DVD's on.
马克：嗯，那不算太坏，我还有台电脑，我可以在那台电脑上看DVD光盘。
Todd:OK.
托德：好。
Mark:How long have you had it?
马克：你用了多长时间了？
Todd:I've had it for about three years, and it works great, like it's great for the internet. It's great for lots of things. I just unfortunately accidentally broke the DVD because I had a problem. I couldn't get a DVD out and I foolishly tried to get it out the wrong way, so but it still works. There is one other problem. It has a power cord and I lost the original power cord for it.
托德：我用了大概三年，这台电脑用起来很棒，上网也很便利。很多功能都很棒。只是因为我的失误，很不幸地把光驱弄坏了。因为有张DVD拿不出来，我用了错误的方法去拿，所以不小心弄坏了光驱，不过还是可以使用的。这台电脑还有一个问题，就是电源线，我把原装的电源线弄丢了。
Mark:Right, OK, so I need to buy a new power cord.
马克：好，就是说我要买个新的电源线。
Todd:You need to buy a new one.
托德：你得买个新的。
Mark:And how much will thatsetmeback?
马克：那要花多少钱？
Todd:That will probably cost you about 6,000 yen.
托德：大概6000日元。
Mark:6,000 yen.
马克：6000日元。
Todd:Yeah, so it's not too bad.
托德：对，不是太坏。
Mark:So that new Mac that you got over there, how much was that new?
马克：你新买的那台Mac电脑多少钱？
Todd:If you buy it new, well this is an older edition, but now they're about 100,000 yen. They're actually quite a good deal. That's why I'm selling it so cheap because you can buy a new Mac for pretty cheap.
托德：这是旧版，新的大概要10万美元。非常划算。所以我才会卖这么便宜，因为可以买到划算的新Mac电脑。
Mark:Right. OK. Sounds a good deal. Can I build websites on that one?
马克：好。听起来是很划算。我能用那台电脑建网站吗？
Todd:Yeah. You can pretty much do anything. It has a lot of capabilities. It's very easy, and if you like the TV show the Sopranos, I'llthrow ina bunch of DVD's as well.
托德：可以。你可以做很多事情。那台电脑有很多功能。而且操作便捷，如果你喜欢《黑道家族》这部电视剧，我还可以送你几张DVD。
Mark:Really.
马克：真的吗？
Todd:So you can watch themfor free.
托德：你可以免费看。
Mark:Right, so 20,000 yen and how many DVD's?
马克：好，2万日元，你送多少张DVD？
Todd:Well, there is a set of four so there's probably, I don't know, there's four DVD's but there's probably 18 episodes of the show the Sopranos.
托德：一套是四张，不过我不太清楚，应该是四张DVD，可能有18集《黑道家族》。
Mark:Right.
马克：好。
Todd:It's a good show.
托德：那部剧很棒。
Mark:OK. That sounds like we may have a deal.
马克：听起来我们可以成交了。
Todd:Cool.
托德：真酷。
Mark:Yeah. Let me talk to the girlfriend about it. See if she wants to buy a Mac because it's her money, too. Maybe I need to borrow some money off her.
马克：好，我要先跟我女朋友谈谈。看看她是不是希望我买Mac电脑，因为那也是她的钱。我可能要跟她借点钱。
Todd:OK.
托德：好。
Mark:And then we can do the deal.
马克：然后我们就可以交易了。
Todd:OK, sounds good. Alright, thanks Mark.
托德：好，听起来不错。好，谢谢你，马克。
