Danny：Aunt Cindy, do you shop online often?

辛迪阿姨，你經常在網上購物嗎？

Cindy：Yes. It’s very convenient and the price is even lower.

是啊。這很方便而且價格還更加便宜呢。

Danny：Last week, I tried to buy some books online, but I didn’t know how to pay for them?

上周，我試著在網上買幾本書，卻不知道該怎么付錢。

Cindy：You should open an account at the online bank first. After that, you can buy anything online.

你得先在網上銀行開一個賬戶。然后，你就可以上網買東西了。

Danny：Are there many things online?

網上的商品多嗎？

Cindy：Sure. You can find everything all over the world. Let’s check it out online!(They log in a shopping web site.)

當然了。你能買到全世界所有的東西。我們來上網看看吧。（她們點進了一個購物網站。）

Danny：Oh, what’s this? Second-hand cellphone store?

哦，這是什么？二手手機商店？

Cindy：Yeah, this one is very famous with a good credit among on-line customers. It’s like an open free market. If you want to change your cellphone for a new one, you can sell the old one here.

是啊，這家店很有名，它在網上顧客中有很好聲譽。它就像是一個開放的市場。如果你想換一個新的手機，你可以到這里來把你的舊手機賣掉。

Danny：Really? How to do that?

真的嗎？怎么賣呢？

Cindy：Take some pictures of the thing you want to sell, then upload it onto line with a brief description about it and leave your connecting number. Then your stuff will be sold by auction.

先給你要賣的東西拍幾張照片，把照片上傳到網上，再附上物品的簡要說明和你的聯系方式，這樣你的東西就會按照拍賣的方式在這里出售了。

Danny：That’s amazing. I’d love to try it later. Oh, an on-line virtual supermarket?

這真是太棒了。我以后一定要試一試。哦，有個網上虛擬超市？

Cindy：Let’s click to check it out.

我們點擊進去看看。

Danny：Oh, I got it. It simulates the real supermarket, which makes it feel so real. Mom will love it. She loves shopping in supermarkets.

哦，明白了。它是仿照了真的超市，這使它像真的一樣。我媽媽會很喜歡的。她最愛逛超市了。

Cindy：No doubt about it. Shopping online will get more and more popular. It’s a real revolution about people’s consuming habits.

毫無疑問。網上購物會越來越流行的。這是人們消費習慣上的一場真正的革命。

Danny：Are there any disadvantages about it?

那它有什么不足呢？

Cindy：It takes some time for the stuff you buy online to arrive. But I think this problem will be solved soon.

你在網上買的東西需要一點時間才能到你手中。不過我想這個問題很快就會被解決的。
