Gucci: I bought this CD of Guns and Roses from a vendor at the subway exit.

May: From a vendor? Then, it must be a pirate copy.

Gucci: It doesn't matter. It cost me only 5 Yuan. Very cheap!

May: Honey, it's still too early to be cheerful. Test the sound quality on your CD player first.

Gucci: Sure. Oh, no!

May: What's the matter? Anything wrong?

Gucci: It's not Guns and Roses. Not even music!

May: Sorry. But it happens all the time. You know, it's a pirate copy.

Gucci: Yeah. I think the vendor is still there. May I return it to get my money back?

May: Don't even try. You can't get that done. Just don't buy any pirate copies any more in the future.

Gucci: Of course not. I feel cheated and it's not so funny.

May: I understand it, honey. I had the same experience before. You know, it takes risks when you buy this illegal cheap stuff. Just forget about it and cheer up.

Gucci: You are right. Anyway, I'd like to get some CDs of Guns and Roses. Will you go with me?

May: Sure. I'd like to get some stuff for myself, too. What's more, I've got a membership card here. With it, we can get a really good price.

Gucci: Really? Then let's go and get some legal copies this time!

May: Great. Here we go.

聽看學(xué)
古奇: 我在地鐵出口的一個小販那里買了這張“槍花”樂隊的唱片。

阿美: 從一個小販那里？那么，這一定是一張盜版碟了。

古奇: 這沒有關(guān)系啊。這只花了我5塊錢。非常便宜！

阿美: 親愛的，別高興得太早了。先在你的CD機上試試音效吧。

古奇: 好的。哦，糟糕！

阿美: 怎么了？有什么不對嗎？

古奇: 這不是“槍花”。連音樂也不是！

阿美: 真遺憾。不過經(jīng)常是這樣的。你知道，它是盜版嘛。

古奇: 沒錯。我想那個小販應(yīng)該還在那里。我可以去找他退錢嗎？

阿美: 你試都不用試的。那是行不通的。以后別再買盜版碟就是了。

古奇: 當(dāng)然不會了。我感到被騙了，感覺真不好。

阿美: 親愛的，我明白的。我以前也有過同樣的經(jīng)歷。你知道，買這種非法的便宜貨本來就有風(fēng)險。別再想它了，高興一點啦。

古奇: 你說得對。不過，我還是想買“槍花”的唱片。你陪我一起去好嗎？

阿美: 沒問題。我也想買一些。而且，我有一張會員卡。我們可以用它有很優(yōu)惠的價格。

古奇: 是嗎？那我們走吧，這次要買幾張正版唱片！

阿美: 好啊。我們走吧。
經(jīng)典背誦 Recitation
Gucci: I bought a pirate CD of Guns and Roses from a vendor at the subway exit today. It was very cheap but it didn't work at all. My best friend May told me that she used to have the same experience as mine. And there was no hope to return it to the vendor to get my money back. I felt cheated, so I made up my mind that I would never buy any illegal cheap stuff any more.
