Benjamin: A microwave oven?

Shirley: Yes, it's really two-pence colored.

Benjamin: Okay, honey, we already have two. There is no more space for a third one!

Shirley: But it's so elegant.

Benjamin: Honey, maybe something else, just no more microwave oven, okay?

Shirley: All right. Then what about a MD player? For May to learn English with.

Benjamin: Better.

Shirley: Do you have any MD players?

Sales person: Yes, various. Here are the samples. What about this one?

Shirley: What are its features?

Sales person: Well, it has a lithium battery which lasts for 20 hours. With MP3 mode, you can download about 9 hours of music or English audio texts. It's especially popular with students for their English study!

Shirley: What else?

Sales person: Maybe you should just have it operated then you would know how well it works.

Shirley: Oh,“My heart will go on”, I love the song.

Benjamin: Nothing can s her from buying it now, I suppose.

Sales person: Just think about the advantage you are going to get.

本杰明：（你要買）一個微波爐？

雪莉：是的，那款真的是物美價廉。

本杰明：親愛的，我們已經有兩個了，實在沒有地方放第三個了！

雪莉：但是這款真的很棒。

本杰明：親愛的，要不我們買點別的，只是別買微波爐了，好嗎？

雪莉：好吧，要不我們買個MD播放機讓阿美用來學英語。

本杰明：（買這個比買微波爐）好多了。

雪莉：請問你們有MD播放機嗎？

售貨員：是的，有很多款式。這里有樣品。這款怎么樣？

雪莉：它有什么特點？

銷售員：它有能持續20小時的鋰電池。用MP3模式，可以下載9個小時的音樂或英語聽力材料，現在特別流行于學生的英語學習。

雪莉：還有其他的（優點）嗎？

銷售員：你可以現在就操作一些，然后你就知道它的性能有多好了！

雪莉：哦，《我心永恒》，我喜歡這首歌。

本杰明：我想，現在沒有什么能阻止她買這個了。

售貨員：想想你買它所得到的好處吧！

Benjamin: Women are shopping animals. At least, my wife really is. She would always say something is two-pence colored. She would just keep on buying stuff without thinking whether we need it or not. Things are gonna to be worse if there were a discount. So I don't like discount stores very much.
