Daniel: Do you have any idea of what kind of materials we should buy?
Tom: Not at all. But Mrs. Li once recommended 30 Nights on Math.
Daniel: Oh, come on, more like 30 nights on nightmares. You know how I hate math.
Tom: Me too. Come upstairs. I bet we can get them on the second floor.
Daniel: My dad asked me to get a book for him, The World Is Flat.
Tom: What section is it in?
Daniel: Geography, I think.
Tom: Then let's have a look at the geography section.
Daniel: OK. Have you found it? I haven't seen it yet. I wonder when dad has become interested in geography. Weird.
Tom: Let's go and ask the salesclerk.
Daniel: Excuse me, do you know a book called The World Is Flat?
Salesman: The World Is Flat? Let me think. Do you know who the author is? I will look it up for you.
Daniel: No, I don't remember clearly. The guy has a very complicated name.
Salesman: Well, do you know what publisher it is?
Daniel: I don't know. But my dad said that it was world famous and millions of its copies had been sold.
Salesman: Oh, you can go to the best-seller section. Maybe you will find it there. It's right on the first floor.

湯姆: 我也是。上樓來(lái)吧。我打賭我們能在二層找到它們。
丹尼爾: 我爸爸讓我給他買本書(shū),《世界是平的》。
湯姆: 是關(guān)于什么的?
丹尼爾: 我覺(jué)得應(yīng)該是地理方面的。
湯姆: 那我們看看地理圖書(shū)區(qū)有沒(méi)有。
