山姆正在機(jī)場(chǎng)等候6點(diǎn)的班機(jī)。他忘記戴手表,所以要找個(gè)人問一下時(shí)間。他看到一個(gè)人提著兩只大箱子從身邊走過,手腕上戴的高科技手表,十分惹人注目。于是,山姆走向他。
A:Excuse me, could you tell me what the time is by your watch
對(duì)不起,您可以告訴我現(xiàn)在的時(shí)間嗎?
B:Sure, which country?
當(dāng)然可以,您要問哪個(gè)國(guó)家的時(shí)間?
A:How many countries have you got?
您有多少個(gè)國(guó)家的時(shí)間?
B:All the countries in the world.
世界上所有國(guó)家的時(shí)間!
A:Wow!That's a pretty cool watch you've got there.
喔!您的表簡(jiǎn)直妙極了。
B:That's nothing. This watch also has a GPS facility. It can even send and receive fax and e-mail. Besides it can receive NTSC television channel s and display them on its miniature active color pixe! LCD screen!
這不算什么。這塊表還有一個(gè)全球定位系統(tǒng)裝置。它甚至能收發(fā)傳真和電子郵件。還有,它能接收N制的彩電頻道并在其袖珍液晶顯示屏上顯示!
A:Boy, that's incredible. I wish I had a watch like that one.You wouldn't consider selling it by any chance?
好家伙,這簡(jiǎn)直不可思議。我也想有一塊像這樣的表。您不會(huì)想要賣掉它吧?
B:Well,actually the novelty has worn off by now,so for $ 900,if you want it,it's yours!
實(shí)際上,這已經(jīng)不新奇了,所以如果您想要,給我900美元,它就是您的了!
dam can hardly whip out his checkbook fast enough and hands over a check for $900. The seller takes off the watch and gives it to him.
山姆匆忙開了一張900美元的支票,遞給那人。那人摘下手表交給山姆。
B:Congratulations,here is your new hi-tech watch!(handing the 2 suitcases over as well) And here are the batteries!
祝賀您,這是您新的高科技手表!(然后把兩只箱子也遞給山姆。)給您,這些是電池。
