Lesson 111The most expensive model 最昂贵的型号
Listen to the tape then answer this question. Can Mr. Frith buy the television on instalments? How does it work?
MR. FRITH: I like television very much.
How much does it cost?
ASSISTANT: It&`&s the most expensive model in the shop.
It costs five hundred pounds.
MR. FRITH: That&`&s too expensive for us.
We can&`&t afford all that money.
ASSISTANT: This model&`&s less expensive than that one.
It&`&s only three hundred pounds.
But, of course, it&`&s not as good as the expensive one.
MR. FRITH: I don&`&t like the model.
The other model&`&s more expensive,
but it&`&s worth the money.
MR. FRITH: Can we buy it on instalments?
ASSISTANT: Of course.
You can pay a deposit of thirty pounds,
and then,fourteen pounds a month for three years.
MR. FRITH: Do you like it, dear?
MRS. FRITH:I certainly do, but I don&`&t like the price.
You always want the best, but we can&`&t afford it.
Sometimes you think you&`&re a millionaire!
MR. FRITH: Millionaires don&`&t buy things on instalments!
弗里斯先生:我非常喜欢这台电视机。请问它多少钱?
店 员:这是店里最贵的型号。它的售价是500英镑。
弗里斯夫人:这对我们来说是太贵了。
我们花不起那么多钱。
店 员:这种型号比那种要便宜些。它只要300英镑。
但是,它当然没有价钱高那种好。
弗里斯先生:我不喜欢这种型号。
那种型号价格是贵一些,但它值得那么多钱。
弗里斯先生:我们可以用分期付款的方式购买吗?
店 员:当然可以。您可以先付30英镑
定金,然后每月14镑,3年付清。
弗里斯先生:你喜欢吗,亲爱的?
弗里斯夫人:我当然喜欢,但是我不喜欢这个价钱。
你总是要买最好的,可我们买不起,
有时候你认为自己是个百万富翁!
弗里斯先生:百万富翁是不会分期付款买东西的!
