和老外聊天的地道口语第94期:网上购物好处多多

A: your mp3 looks so cool. Where did you get it?
W: I bought it online.
A: really? Do you often shop online?
W: yes. I buy most of my daily necessities online.
A: I've never tried E-shopping. Is it better than shopping at an actual store?
W: yes, much better. You can log in a website, browse¹ through many items and categories comfortably at home, order the goods, pay by credit or debit²
card, and the goods will be delivered to your home.
A: sounds good, and I don't have to queue up at the cashier.
W: and you can still go "window shopping" just like in a real shopping mall.
A: well, are there any other advantages?
W: yes, most of the shops are closed at 22:00 or even earlier,but the internet operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can be accessed anywhere.
A: are there many choices of online shopping?
W: sure. You can buy almost anything you can think of.
W: perhaps I should have a try.
 

你的MP3真酷.在哪买的?
在网上买的.
是吗?大多数日用品我都在网上买的.
我从来没在网上买过东西.比在实体店购物更好吗?
没错,好多了.你可以登陆一个购物网站,在家里舒舒服服地浏览各类商品,下订单,用信用卡或贷记卡付款,然后你订的货就可以送到家里了.
听起来不错,不用在收银台排队了.
而且和逛街一样,也可以只看不买.
恩,还有其他优点吗?
有,商店一般10点或10点以前就关门了,网点却可以每天随时开放,只要能上网就行了.
网上购物选择多吗?
当然.想得到的都能买到.
也许我该试一试.
