Shirley: Oh, what's wrong? How it comes that the music stopped all in a sudden!
Salesperson: Really? Let me have a look.
Shirley: Poor quality!
Salesperson: No, Ma'am. It's just out of battery.
Shirley: Oh, sorry.
Benjamin: What if it doesn't work well, I mean in case?
Salesperson: The guarantee provides for free service and parts. But judging from my experience, I'd say you'll never have to use that.
Benjamin: How long is it guaranteed for?
Salesperson: Three years. And you can exchange it provided there is no damage to the product.
Benjamin: What about the price?
Salesperson: 1000 yuan.
Benjamin: Wow. That's a lot of money. Is there any discount?
Salesperson: Yes, if you get it today, there will be a 10% off for you.
Benjamin: Honey, what do you think?
Shirley: We'd better stick with what we like. Money comes and goes anyway.
Benjamin: Okay, we'll take it.

雪莉：哦，怎么了？為什么音樂突然停了？
售貨員：真的嗎？讓我看一下。
雪莉：質(zhì)量真差啊！
銷售員：不是的，女士。只是沒有電了。

本杰明：價(jià)格呢？
售貨員：1000元。
本杰明：哇，好貴啊。可以打折嗎？
售貨員：是的，如果今天買，可以享受9折的優(yōu)惠。
本杰明：親愛的，你覺得怎樣？
雪莉：我們還是堅(jiān)持我們所喜歡的吧。錢用了還會來的。
本杰明：好吧，那我們就買這個(gè)了。
經(jīng)典背誦 Recitation
Salesperson: My job is to introduce the features of a product to the customers in a market place. Judging from my experience, I find quality is the thing that really matters. It's funny that customers want the merchandise to be guaranteed for a longer time period. But at the same time, they also hope there would be no chance to use that.
