Gilly and Nate are chatting on the phone
Gilly: Did you like the Chanel bag that I got?
Nate: You must have a rich boyfriend because that bag is so expensive!
Gilly: I bought it on eBay. It was only one-tenth of the original price. And the purchase was so easy.
Nate: No kidding! Then how do you know the bag's real?
Gilly: Well, it came with a certificate, and it looks real. But auctioning on eBay is risky.
Nate: A risk I would never take...
Gilly: Then you haven't browsed eBay before...get online. Don't hang up!

吉莉和奈特在电话上聊天
吉莉：你喜欢我买的那个香奈儿包包吗？
奈特：你一定是交了个有钱男友，因为那个袋子超贵的！
吉莉：我在eBay上面买的。它只有原价的十分之一。而且很容易就买到了。
奈特：真的假的！那你怎么知道包包是真货？
吉莉：呃，有附一个证明书，而且看起来是真的。不过在eBay上面拍卖是要冒险的。

吉莉：那是你没上eBay看过才会这么说……去上网。别挂断电话！ |
