Conversation One
长对话一
I'm going to the city centre to buy a new phone today.
我今天要去市中心买一部新手机。
Didn't you buy a new phone just two months ago?
你不是两个月前才买了一部新手机吗?
It was three months ago, and I already know what you're going to say.
那是三个月前的事了,我已经知道你要说什么了。
You're thinking I shouldn't replace my phone this soon.
你在想我不应该这么快就换手机。
No, actually, I was wondering how you could possibly afford a new phone.
不,实际上,我在想你怎么可能买得起新手机。
But, now that you mention it, I do think getting another phone so soon is wasteful, regardless of the cost.
但是,既然你提到了这一点,我确实认为这么快就买另一部手机是浪费,无论成本如何。
Maybe you're right, but the thing is,everyone at the office has a nice, expensive phone, and I'm a little embarrassed by mine.
也许你是对的,但问题是,办公室里的每个人都有一部漂亮而昂贵的手机,而我的手机让我有点难为情。
I just got a credit card, so I thought I might as well buy a new phone.
我刚拿到信用卡,所以我想我还不如买一部新手机。
I don't think buying a phone on credit is a good idea. Look, you've only been working for five months now.
我认为用信用卡买手机不是个好主意。看,你现在才工作了五个月。
People understand that you are a recent graduate, and I doubt anyone cares about your phone other than yourself.
人们知道你刚毕业,我怀疑除了你自己之外没有人关心你的手机。
Maybe you're right, but the credit card has a very good special offer, where I don't pay any interest for six months.
也许你是对的,但是信用卡有一个非常好的特别优惠,六个月内我不用支付任何利息。
I'll be able to pay for the phone well before that period is over.
在那段时间结束之前,我就能支付手机费了。
I still think it's a bad idea to use a credit card for something you don't need.
我仍然认为用信用卡购买不需要的东西是个坏主意。
One of my colleagues bought a lot of things on credit during her first year of work, and it became a bad habit, and she accumulated a lot of debt.
我的一位同事在工作的第一年就赊购了很多东西,这成了一个坏习惯,她积累了很多债务。
Well, I can see how that might happen to someone, and I'm sure she regrets it, but I know it won't happen to me.
好吧,我能理解这种情况可能发生在某个人身上,我确信她会后悔,但我知道这不会发生在我身上。
