Ivy ：现在我的胃基本上从昨天晚上的折磨中恢复过来了。今天我们打算干什么？
Andrew ：我们可以逛逛街买点东西，去公园散散步，或者参观一两间寺庙……
Ivy：嗯，我们为什么不去游览一些名胜呢？
Andrew ：好吧，那么走这边吧，我们去坐公交车。
（几分钟后，公交车到了。）
Ivy：天啊，这车站人真多。这里经常是这个样子吗？我们是不是要干上一架才能抢到座位呢？
Andrew ：哦，不用吧。现在同交通高峰期比起来根本就不算什么。
（有人下车了，空出了一个座位。）
Ivy ：嘿！别推我！这小老太刚才在推我！
Andrew ：你的速度太慢了。只要你遇到了一个空座位，你要像鹰一样扑过去占住它。
Ivy ：这里真是让你时刻不能放松啊。
Andrew ：我们到站了，快点下车吧。
Ivy：太好了。看看我们能不能给我在美国的朋友们买点纪念品。
Andrew ：不用着急，到处逛逛吧。别忘了在这里买东西是可以讨价还价的。
Ivy ：噢！你看那个会发光作响的奇怪的小玩意儿。我要买那个！多少钱一个？
Salesman ：特价给你吧，朋友，100块一个。
Ivy ：那只要……12美元！我要买一个！
Andrew ：我不是跟你说过要讲价吗？你被宰了！
Ivy ：但是这个很便宜啊！而且他不是说是特价吗……
Andrew ：他们对每个人都这么说。你到底买了什么？这是什么破东西？
Ivy ：我不太清楚啊。他一直在那里讲，我只顾着看这些闪光，我也不知道发生了什么事情。我觉得我好像被催眠了之类的，好像非买不可一样。
Andrew ：你们美国人都是一个样的。这些人随便哪一个都可能在大雪天卖雪给你。
Ivy：好吧，我承认。我上当了。你不用一直唠叨了。下次我会更小心点的。
Andrew ：算了吧，每个人刚开始都会发生这种事情的。
