场景：小红前阵子刚买票上车，想着暑假到来的时候抽空去购置一些家具，看到瑞典家具巨头宜家家具在俄罗斯清仓大处理，小红也疯狂了一把，最终理性战胜了感性，因为跨国邮寄实在不划算。

Xiaohong：Wow, this is so exciting. The Swedish furniture company IKEA opened for the last time in Russia with an online-only fire sale.

小红：哇，刺激！瑞典宜家家具最后一次在俄罗斯营业，开展网上清仓大甩卖。

Xiaohua：So IKEA will soon exit the Russian market because of the war in Ukraine?

小华：所以宜家很快就会因为俄乌战争退出俄罗斯市场吗？

Xiaohong：The company said, “We remain hopeful that one day in the future, we will be able to bring back IKEA to the many people in Russia. ”

小红：宜家表示“我们仍然相信，在未来某一天，我们能够重返俄罗斯市场。”

Xiaohua：I've never shopped in IKEA. Do you have any shopping experience in IKEA?

小华：我从来没有在宜家购物过。你有在宜家购物的经验吗？

Xiaohong：Yes. I have been to Beijing and Shanghai malls, in particular, you will be truly attracted by its store layout. There's a designed road that you must follow, and it guides you through the store in one direction.

小红：有啊。我去过北京和上海的宜家，你尤其会被店内的设计吸引。你必须沿着一条被设计好的路走，它引导你沿着一个方向穿过商店。

Xiaohua：That sounds interesting, but it sounds like shopping in IKEA will suck your wallet dry.

小华：听起来好有意思，但是怎么听起来有点像是在宜家购物会榨干你的钱包的意思。

Xiaohong：Well, it depends. I'm a rational buyer, which means my buying decisions are based on logic and needs. But the final online sale in Russia makes me emotional. I want to ask for a favor from Jay.

小红：呃，看情况。我是理性买家，也就是说我是基于逻辑和需求来做购买决定的。但是这次俄罗斯线上大甩卖让我变得很感性。我问问杰，看他能不能帮忙。

Xiaohua：Jay who?

小华：他是谁啊？

Xiaohong：My classmate in highschool. Maybe he can do me a favor.

小红：我高中同学。也许他能帮忙。

Xiaohua：What？Calm down! Shipping can be very expensive. You should spend money on a knife-edge.

小华：啊？你冷静点。邮费很贵的。你应该把钱花在刀刃上。
