卡罗尔：你好，亚历克斯。哦，这些是我要在英语作业中写到的一些有趣的发明。

亚历克斯：我知道了……那么，那是什么？
Carol: They're shoes with lights. People use them for seeing in the dark when you get up at night.
卡罗尔：它们是带灯的鞋。当晚上起床时，人们用它们在黑暗中看东西。

亚历克斯：哦，那是一个很酷的主意！我总是在晚上去卫生间的路上碰到脚趾。
Carol: Next is a special ice-cream scoop. This is my favorite invention. It runs on electricity and becomes hot.

亚历克斯：我知道它的用途！它是用来加热非常凉的冰激凌的。
Carol: Yes, that's right! The last invention I'm going to write about is shoes with special heels. You can move the heels up and down.
卡罗尔：是的，正确！我要写的最后一项发明是有特殊后跟的鞋。你可以上下移动后跟。

卡罗尔：噢，你可以改变你的鞋子的风格。如果你打算参加聚会，你可以增高你的鞋跟；或者如果只是出去购物，你可以降低鞋跟。
