英語(yǔ)播客初級(jí)版 第202期(外教講解):網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物

A: What are you doing?
B: I’m just looking for a nice pillow on Ebay.
A: You are shopping for a pillow online? That’s absurd!
B: Why? I don’t have to leave the house or browse a dozen stores to find what I’m looking for. This way, I just search for it online quick and easy.
A: I see, but how do you pay for it? How do you know you aren’t going to be ripped off by the seller?
B: Well, the website handles a point system where if the seller does something wrong, people comment negatively and then you know that he or she may not be trustworthy.
A: Wow, that sounds pretty safe. So how do you pay? Do you need a credit card?
B: You can use a credit card or your debit card. They also let you use the PayPal system which is really safe and fast. I have never had any problems with someone hacking my information or anything.
A: Do you think I can find a sweater for my dog online?
B: You can find anything! Are you sure you want to start shopping online though? Once you step into this world, there is no turning back!

A: 你在干什么?
B: 我在Ebay網(wǎng)上尋找一個(gè)漂亮的枕頭。
A: 你在網(wǎng)上買枕頭?
B: 為什么?我不必非得出去，逛很多商場(chǎng)來(lái)尋找要買的東西。網(wǎng)購(gòu)又快速又簡(jiǎn)單。
A: 我明白了，怎么支付? 你怎么知道不會(huì)被賣主欺騙?
B: 網(wǎng)站有點(diǎn)數(shù)系統(tǒng)，如果賣主做錯(cuò)事，人們能發(fā)表差評(píng)，那樣你就知道他或她是否可靠。
A: 那聽起來(lái)很安全，你怎么支付?需要信用卡嗎?
B: 你可以用信用卡或借記卡。也可使用安全又快速的PayPal系統(tǒng)。我從未遇到過(guò)個(gè)人信息被盜用的事。
A: 你認(rèn)為我在網(wǎng)上能找到狗穿的毛衣嗎?
B: 什么都能找到，你確定想開始在網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物了?一旦你進(jìn)入這個(gè)世界，就沒有回頭路。
A：那開始吧。
