Conversation One
M: I’m going to the city centre to buy a new phone today.
W: Didn’t you buy a new phone just two months ago?
M: It was three months ago, and I already know what you’re going to say. You’re thinking I shouldn’t replace my phone this soon.
W: No, [8] actually, I was wondering how you could possibly afford a new phone. But now that you mention it, I do think getting another phone so soon is wasteful, regardless of the cost.
M: Maybe you’re right, [9] but the thing is, everyone at the office has a nice, expensive phone, and I’m a little embarrassed by mine. I just got a credit card, so I thought I might as well buy a new phone.
W: I don’t think buying a phone on credit is a good idea. Look, you’ve only been working for five months now. People understand that you are a recent graduate, and I doubt anyone cares about your phone other than yourself.
M: Maybe you’re right, [10] but the credit card has a very good special offer, where I don’t pay any interest for six months. I’ll be able to pay for the phone well before that period is over.
W: I still think it’s a bad idea to use a credit card for something you don’t need. [11] One of my colleagues bought a lot of things on credit during her first year of work, and it became a bad habit, and she accumulated a lot of debt.
M: Well, I can see how that might happen to someone, and I’m sure she regrets it, but I know it won’t happen to me.
长对话一
男:我今天要去市中心买部新手机。
女:你两个月前不是刚买过新手机吗?
男:那是三个月前的事了。我已经知道你要说什么了。你在想我不该这么快换手机。
女:不是的,其实我是在想你怎么可能买得起新手机。不过既然你提到这点,我确实觉得不管花多少钱,这么快又买一部手机太浪费了。
男:也许你说得对,但问题是,办公室里人人都用着漂亮昂贵的手机,我有点嫌自己的手机拿不出手。我刚办了张信用卡,所以觉得不如买部新手机。
女:我觉得用信用卡买手机不是个好主意。你看,你才工作了五个月。大家都理解你是应届毕业生,而且我觉得除了你自己,根本没人会在意你的手机。
男:也许你说得对,但这张信用卡有个很划算的特别优惠,六个月内免息。我肯定能在免息期结束前还清手机款的。
女:我还是认为用信用卡买不需要的东西很不可取。我有个同事工作第一年就用信用卡买了好多东西,后来养成了坏习惯,欠了很多债。
男:嗯,我能理解有些人会这样,她也肯定很后悔,但我相信这种事绝不会发生在我身上。
