So what does that leave? Oh yes, a present.
那么还剩下什么？对了，礼物。
Would you mind doing that?
你介意做这个吗？
No, not at all: we usually go round with an envelope during coffee break, don't we?
不介意。我们经常在咖啡时间拿着信封走来走去，不是吗？
Yeah, coffee break's always the best time, 'cos people have got their money handy.

Yeah, exactly. Do we suggest an amount? Or does it seem a bit unfair?
没错。我们得要求数额吗？或者这么做是不是有点不公平？
No, I think people welcome it. We suggested six dollars last time, is that OK?
没事，我觉得人们不介意。我们上次建议交6美元，这样可以吗？
Yeah, plenty I would have thought, which should leave us with about ninety dollars.
可以，我觉得足够了，这样我们应该就有90美元了？
Have you any ideas for presents?

So, I thought I'd check on prices for, well, perhaps CD players.
