ESL Podcast 426 – Talking About Product Quality
时间：2019-02-19 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Brenda: It’s fun shopping for a new cell phone, don’t you think?
Yoji: Sure, but I just need one with the bare basics.
Brenda: Not me. I want one that’s top-of-the-line. My old phone was cheap and flimsy, and it started acting 1 up after only a few months.
Yoji: I want something that’s good quality, but I don’t think I should have to pay top dollar for it, especially since I don’t need the bells and whistles.
Brenda: The bells and whistles are the best part!
Yoji: I like this one. It seems sturdy and it should last me for years.
Brenda: That is one ugly phone!
Yoji: I don’t care about its looks. I just want something functional 2 and that won’t fall apart.
Brenda: I’m not arguing for style over substance, but that phone is hideous 3.
Yoji: I’ll get over it.
Brenda: Yes, but I’m not sure I will!
