Melanie: Jill told me that if I plan to play every week, I should buy my own racket instead of renting it from the front desk for 3 bucks each time.

吉尔告诉我，如果我计划每周打球，就应该买自己的球拍，而不是每次交3块钱从前台租借。

Coco: Check for lightweight paddles then. They are ideal for beginners.

那就看看轻质球拍吧，对初学者来说很理想。

Melanie: Thanks, dear. Should I go for graphite or composite material? Any suggestions?

谢谢，亲爱的。我应该选择石墨或者复合材料的呢？你有什么建议吗？

Coco: An advanced player just taught me about it last week! So graphite offers better control, but composite is more forgiving. Depends on your preference.

上周一个高手教了我这个！石墨材料提供更好的控制性，但是复合材料更容易上手。这要看你个人喜好。

Melanie: I see. I might go for a composite one then. It's my first paddle, after all. I will get a set of two and gift one to you! I know you probably have your own paddle already. But if we play together, we can use matching ones.

我明白了。那我可能会选择复合材料的。毕竟这是我第一支球拍。我打算买两支，然后送给你一支！我知道你可能已经有自己的球拍了，但如果我们一起打球，用配对的球拍会更有意思。

Coco: Wow, thanks, mom! I can't wait to play together with you. Let's order them right away.

哇，谢谢妈妈！我等不及和你一起打球了。我们马上下单购买吧。
