May: Aunt Cindy, do you shop online often?

Cindy: Yes. It's very convenient and the price is even lower.

May: Last week, I tried to buy some books online, but I didn't know how to pay for them?

Cindy: You should open an account at the online bank first. After that, you can buy anything online.

May: Are there many things online?

Cindy: Sure. You can find everything all over the world. Let's check it out online!

(They log in a shopping web site.)

May: Oh, what's this? Second-hand cellphone store?

Cindy: Yeah, this one is very famous with a good credit among on-line customers. It's like an open free market. If you want to change your cellphone for a new one, you can sell the old one here.

May: Really? How to do that?

Cindy: Take some pictures of the thing you want to sell, then upload it onto line with a brief description about it and leave your connecting number. Then your stuff will be sold by auction.

May: That's amazing. I'd love to try it later. Oh, an on-line virtual supemp3arket?

Cindy: Let's click to check it out.

May: Oh, I got it. It simulates the real supemp3arket, which makes it feel so real. Mom will love it. She loves shopping in supemp3arkets.

Cindy: No doubt about it. Shopping online will get more and more popular. It's a real revolution about people's consuming habits.

May: Are there any disadvantages about it?

Cindy: It takes some time for the stuff you buy online to arrive. But I think this problem will be solved soon.

阿美: 辛迪阿姨，你经常在网上购物吗？

辛迪: 是啊。这很方便而且价格还更加便宜呢。

阿美: 上周，我试着在网上买几本书，却不知道该怎么付钱。

辛迪: 你得先在网上银行开一个账户。然后，你就可以上网买东西了。

阿美: 网上的商品多吗？

辛迪: 当然了。你能买到全世界所有的东西。我们来上网看看吧。

（她们点进了一个购物网站。）

阿美: 哦，这是什么？二手手机商店？

辛迪: 是啊，这家店很有名，它在网上顾客中有很好声誉。它就像是一个开放的市场。如果你想换一个新的手机，你可以到这里来把你的旧手机卖掉。

阿美: 真的吗？怎么卖呢？

辛迪: 先给你要卖的东西拍几张照片，把照片上传到网上，再附上物品的简要说明和你的联系方式，这样你的东西就会按照拍卖的方式在这里出售了。

阿美: 这真是太棒了。我以后一定要试一试。哦，有个网上虚拟超市？

辛迪: 我们点击进去看看。

阿美: 哦，明白了。它是仿照了真的超市，这使它像真的一样。我妈妈会很喜欢的。她最爱逛超市了。

辛迪: 毫无疑问。网上购物会越来越流行的。这是人们消费习惯上的一场真正的革命。

阿美: 那它有什么不足呢？

辛迪: 你在网上买的东西需要一点时间才能到你手中。不过我想这个问题很快就会被解决的。
