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.

丹尼爾: 你想好買什么資料了嗎？

湯姆: 沒有，但是李老師曾經(jīng)推薦給我們一本《數(shù)學(xué)三十夜》。

丹尼爾: 噢，行了，更像是三十夜噩夢。你知道我有多么厭惡數(shù)學(xué)。

湯姆: 我也是。上樓來吧。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，《世界是平的》。

湯姆: 是關(guān)于什么的？

丹尼爾: 我覺得應(yīng)該是地理方面的。

湯姆: 那我們看看地理圖書區(qū)有沒有。

丹尼爾: 好的。你找到了嗎？我還沒有看見呢。我在想爸爸什么時候?qū)Φ乩砀信d趣了？真奇怪。

湯姆: 我們?nèi)枂柺圬泦T吧。

丹尼爾: 打擾一下，你知道有一本書叫《世界是平的》嗎？

丹尼爾: 不，我記不太清楚了。他的名字非常復(fù)雜。

售貨員: 嗯，你知道是哪個出版社出的嗎？

丹尼爾: 我不知道，但是我爸爸說那本書世界聞名，已經(jīng)賣了好幾百萬冊了。

售貨員: 你可以去暢銷書區(qū)看看，也許你可以在那兒找到。就在一層右側(cè)。
