Was your life very difficult when you were a kid?
您小時候的生活是不是很艱苦呢？
Oh, not really. Why?
不是呀。為什么這么問？
Well, you didn't have modern inventions like a telephone, right?
你們那個時候還沒有像電話這樣的現(xiàn)代發(fā)明，對嗎？
Of course we did! How old do you think I am? The telephone was invented in 1876. You need to take a history class, Alice!
我們當(dāng)然有啦！你覺得我有多老呢？電話是1876年發(fā)明的。愛麗絲，你需要上歷史課了。
Haha! How about cars? They weren't invented yet, were they?
哈哈！那汽車呢？那個時候還沒發(fā)明汽車，是不是？
Yes, they were. Cars were invented in 1885. My family had a car.
不是，汽車已經(jīng)有了。汽車是1885年發(fā)明的。我家就有一輛汽車。
Well, did you have a TV?
那么你們有電視么？
No, we couldn't afford one. They were expensive in those days. The TV was invented around 1927, I think.
沒有，我們買不起電視機(jī)。那個時候，電視機(jī)很貴。我想電視是1927年左右發(fā)明的。
Well, I know that you didn't have a computer, because we learned in school that personal computers were invented in 1971.
我知道那個時候你們沒有電腦，因?yàn)槲覀冊趯W(xué)校里學(xué)了，個人電腦是1971年發(fā)明的。
You’re right. But I have one now!
沒錯。但是我現(xiàn)在有電腦啦！
