| ASSISTANT: | This model's less expensive than that one. 这种型号的比那种要便宜些。 It's only three hundred pounds. 它只要300英镑。 But, of course, it's not as good as the expensive one. 但是，它当然没有价钱高的那种好。 |
| MR. FRITH: | I don't like this model. 我不喜欢这种型号。 The other model's more expensive, but it's worth the money. 那一种型号价格是贵一些，但它值这么多钱。 Can we buy it on instalments? 我们可以用分期付款的方式购买吗？ |
