A:Where did you get your mobile? It's really cute.
你的手机是在哪里买的?好可爱。
B:Oh, this? I got it in Singapore. Here, do you want to take a look?
哦,这个吗?我在新加坡买的。你要看看吗?
A:Thanks. Gee, it's really light!
谢谢。哇,好轻!
B:Yes, it is, isn't it? A bit too light, really. What make have you got?
是啊,它的确很轻。说真的,它太轻了一点。你用的是哪一款?
A:I've got an old Ericsson. Here. Take a look.
我用的是老式的爱立信。你拿去看看。
B:Wow, that's really old.
哇,真旧啊。
A:Yes, I like collecting antiques.
是啊,我喜欢收集古董。
B:Why don't you get a new one?
你为什么不换一款新的?
A:I don't know. I like this one, and I don't have any need for all the bells and whistles you get on the new ones.
我也不知道。我就是喜欢这款,而且新手机的功能五花八门,我根本用不到。
B:Really, what makes you say that?
是哦,你为什么这么说?
A:Well, I just need to make and receive calls, and it's quite reliable. I find that the more fancy stuff they put into these things, the more likely they are to break bown or go wrong, you know? I mean, this camera function, for instance-how often do you use it?
哦,我只需要接打电话而已,这款手机在这方面很可靠。你知道吗,我发现功能越花哨的手机,就越容易坏掉或出故障。我的意思是,就拿这种照相的功能来说,你有多常用到?
B:Sometimes, but I guess not very often. It's more for fun. Sometimes when I'm on a trip, for example, I can take a picture and send it to my kids. Or I can send a picture of a sample back to my office and get it costed up immediately.
有时候会用到,不过我想不会常用,而是以好玩为主。例如有时候在旅行时,我可以拍照,然后把它传给我的小孩看。或者我也可以把样品的照片传回办公室,以便立刻估价。
A:Well, that's nice I guess. So how many kids do you have?
嗯,还不错。你有几个小孩呢?
B:Three. Two boys and a girl.
三个,两个儿子一个女儿。
