Lesson 111
The most expensive model
最昂贵的型号
Listen to the tape then answer this question. Can Mr. Frith buy the television on instalments? How does it work?
听录音，然后回答问题。弗里斯先生可以用分期付款方式购买电视机吗？如何操作呢？
MR. FRITH: I like television very much.
How much does it cost?
ASSISTANT: It's the most expensive
model in the shop.
It costs five hundred pounds.
MR. FRITH: That's too expensive for us.
We can't afford all that
money.
ASSISTANT: This model's less expensive
than that one.
It's only three hundred
pounds. But, of course,
it's not as good as the
expensive one.
MR. FRITH: I don't like the model.
The other model's more
expensive, but it's
worth the money.
MR. FRITH: Can we buy it on instalments?
ASSISTANT: Of course.
You can pay a deposit of
thirty pounds, and then
fourteen pounds a month for
three years.
MR. FRITH: Do you like it, dear?
MRS. FRITH:I certainly do,
but I don't like the price.
You always want the best,
but we can't afford it.
Sometimes you think
you're a millionaire!
MR. FRITH: Millionaires don't buy
things on instalments!
弗里斯先生：我非常喜欢这台电视机。 请问它多少钱？ 店 员：这是店里最贵的型号。 它的售价是500英镑。 弗里斯夫人：这对我们来说是太贵了。 我们花不起那么多钱。 店 员：这种型号比那种要便宜些。 它只要300英镑。但是， 它当然没有价钱高那种好。 弗里斯先生：我不喜欢这种型号。 那种型号价格是贵一些， 但它值得那么多钱。 弗里斯先生：我们可以用分期付款的方式] 购买吗？ 店 员：当然可以。您可以先付30英镑 定金，然后每月14镑,3年付清。 弗里斯先生：你喜欢吗，亲爱的？ 弗里斯夫人：我当然喜欢，但是我不喜欢这 个价钱。你总是要买最好的， 可我们买不起，有时候你认 为自己是个百万富翁！ 弗里斯先生：百万富翁是不会分期付款 买东西的！
