A: I’m hungry, let’s go grab a bite to eat.
B: Yeah me too. Oh! Can we stop at the shop really fast? I lost my makeup bag at the airport and I want to pick up a few things.
A: Will you take long?
B: No! Five minutes I promise!
A: Come on! We have been here for almost an hour! I thought you said you were only going to get a few things! How long does it take you to pick out a lipstick and some nail polish!
B: Are you crazy? You have no idea what you are talking about! Just for my eyes I have to get eye-liner, an eyelash curler, eye shadow, an eyebrow pencil and mascara. Then I need to get foundation, liquid foundation.
A: Whoa whoa whoa! Are you nuts? How much is all this going to cost? I’m looking at the price at each one of these little things and it’s outrageous! This is basically a crayon!
B: What about you? You spend as much or more money on your razors, after shave, cologne and gel! Not to mention how much you spend on clothes and...
A: Fine! Get the stupid thirty dollar crayon!

A: 我饿了，我们简单吃点东西。
B: 我也饿了，我们能快速停在商店吗？我在机场弄丢了化妆包，我想买些东西。
A: 那要花很长时间吗？
B: 不会， 我发誓5分钟就够了。
A: 快点，我们在这儿已经快1个小时了，我记得你说过你只买几样东西。选一支口红和一些指甲油怎么用这么长时间。
B: 你疯了吗？你不知道自己在说什么。仅化妆眼睛，我就得需要眼线(笔), 卷睫毛器，眼影和眉笔及睫毛膏。我还得打粉底，液体粉底。
A: 哇！你是木头吗？这些东西得花多少钱?我看了下这些东西的每样报价，太不可思雅了。主这主要就是蜡笔。
B: 那你呢？你花了同样或很多的钱用来买电动刮胡刀，刮脸后搽的润肤水以及古龙水上面。更不用你花在买衣服和……的钱。
A: 好吧，买那个愚蠢的30,美元蜡笔吧。
