Alex: Hi, Carol. Wow, what are those?
亞歷克斯:你好,卡羅爾。哇,那些是什么?
Carol: Hello, Alex. Oh, these are some of the interesting inventions that I'm writing about for my English homework.
卡羅爾:你好,亞歷克斯。哦,這些是我要在英語作業中寫到的一些有趣的發明。
Alex: I see... What's that, then?
亞歷克斯:我知道了……那么,那是什么?
Carol: They're shoes with lights. People use them for seeing in the dark when you get up at night.
卡羅爾:它們是帶燈的鞋。當晚上起床時,人們用它們在黑暗中看東西。
Alex: Oh, that's a cool idea! I always hit my toe on something on the way to the bathroom at night.
亞歷克斯:哦,那是一個很酷的主意!我總是在晚上去衛生間的路上碰到腳趾。
Carol: Next is a special ice-cream scoop. This is my favorite invention. It runs on electricity and becomes hot.
卡羅爾:接下來是一個特別的冰激凌勺。這是我最喜愛的發明。它靠電運行,接著變熱。

亞歷克斯:我知道它的用途!它是用來加熱非常涼的冰激凌的。
Carol: Yes, that's right! The last invention I'm going to write about is shoes with special heels. You can move the heels up and down.
卡羅爾:是的,正確!我要寫的最后一項發明是有特殊后跟的鞋。你可以上下移動后跟。
Alex: What are they used for?

Carol: Well, you can change the style of your shoes. You can raise the heels if you are going to a party or lower them if you are just going out for shopping.
卡羅爾:噢,你可以改變你的鞋子的風格。如果你打算參加聚會,你可以增高你的鞋跟;或者如果只是出去購物,你可以降低鞋跟。
