Lesson 111 The most expensive model¶

原文译文

I like this television very much. How much does it cost?

It's the most expensive model in the shop. It costs five hundred pounds.

That's too expensive for us. We can't afford all that money.

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.

I don't like this model. The other model's more expensive, but it's worth the money.

Can we buy it on instalments?

Of course. You can pay a deposit of thirty pounds, and then fourteen pounds a month for three years.

Do you like it, dear?

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!

Millionaires don't buy things on instalments!

我非常喜欢这台电视机。它多少钱？

这是店里最贵的型号。500英镑。

对我们来说太贵了。我们负担不起那么多钱。

这个型号比那个便宜些。只要300英镑。但是当然，它不如那个贵的好。

我不喜欢这个型号。那个型号贵一些，但物有所值。

我们可以分期付款购买吗？

当然可以。您可以付30英镑定金，然后每月付14英镑，付3年。

你喜欢它吗，亲爱的？

我当然喜欢，但我不喜欢这价格。你总是想要最好的，但我们负担不起。有时候你以为自己是百万富翁！

百万富翁不会分期付款买东西！
