Benjamin: A microwave oven?

Shirley: Yes, it's really two-pence colored.

Benjamin: Okay, honey, we already have two. There is no more space for a third one!

Shirley: But it's so elegant.

Benjamin: Honey, maybe something else, just no more microwave oven, okay?

Shirley: All right. Then what about a MD player? For May to learn English with.

Benjamin: Better.

Shirley: Do you have any MD players?

Sales person: Yes, various. Here are the samples. What about this one?

Shirley: What are its features?

Sales person: Well, it has a lithium battery which lasts for 20 hours. With MP3 mode, you can download about 9 hours of music or English audio texts. It's especially popular with students for their English study!

Shirley: What else?

Sales person: Maybe you should just have it operated then you would know how well it works.

Shirley: Oh,“My heart will go on”, I love the song.

Benjamin: Nothing can s her from buying it now, I suppose.

Sales person: Just think about the advantage you are going to get.

本杰明：（你要买）一个微波炉？

雪莉：是的，那款真的是物美价廉。

本杰明：亲爱的，我们已经有两个了，实在没有地方放第三个了！

雪莉：但是这款真的很棒。

本杰明：亲爱的，要不我们买点别的，只是别买微波炉了，好吗？

雪莉：好吧，要不我们买个MD播放机让阿美用来学英语。

本杰明：（买这个比买微波炉）好多了。

雪莉：请问你们有MD播放机吗？

售货员：是的，有很多款式。这里有样品。这款怎么样？

雪莉：它有什么特点？

销售员：它有能持续20小时的锂电池。用MP3模式，可以下载9个小时的音乐或英语听力材料，现在特别流行于学生的英语学习。

雪莉：还有其他的（优点）吗？

销售员：你可以现在就操作一些，然后你就知道它的性能有多好了！

雪莉：哦，《我心永恒》，我喜欢这首歌。

本杰明：我想，现在没有什么能阻止她买这个了。

售货员：想想你买它所得到的好处吧！

Benjamin: Women are shopping animals. At least, my wife really is. She would always say something is two-pence colored. She would just keep on buying stuff without thinking whether we need it or not. Things are gonna to be worse if there were a discount. So I don't like discount stores very much.
