Shirley: You are such a good father. It's next Sunday.
Benjamin: Sorry. What shall we get for her?
Shirley: What about a cell 1 phone? She is old enough to have one.
Benjamin: Good idea. Shall we search on line to find an appropriate 2 one or go to a phone store?
Shirley: Maybe we can try shopping on line.
Benjamin: Sure. Okay, here is the website.

雪莉：阿美的生日就快到了。我们该给她买个礼物还是让她自己挑一个呢？
本杰明：我觉得惊喜聚会可能更好。但我忘记她的生日是什么时候了。
雪莉：你可真是好爸爸啊，就是下周日啊。
本杰明：抱歉，我们该给她买点什么呢？
雪莉：给她买个手机怎么样？她可以有一个了。
本杰明：好主意，我们是去上网找一款合适的手机，还是去手机店啊？
雪莉：也许我们可以直接在网上购物。
本杰明：当然可以。好的，这有个网站。
雪莉：我确定阿美一定会喜欢这款粉红色的。
本杰明：很可能。因为因特网人们的消费习惯正迅速地改变着。
雪莉：的确如此。电脑带来了方便。
雪莉：哦，怎么了？
本杰明：电脑死机了。
雪莉：它（电脑）也是个大麻烦。我们最好还是去手机店吧。
