课文内容：
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!

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。

购买吗？

定金，然后每月14镑,3年付清。

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，

买东西的！
