John:Are you in the market for souvenirs? (約翰:您想買紀念品嗎?)
Terry:Not today---I can get those later. I'd really like to look at some digital cameras. (泰瑞:今天不想------紀念品我可以晚點再買。我很想看看數位相機。)

Terry:Wow! I can see that. I've never seen so many electronic stores in one place! Aren't the stores afraid of competition? (泰瑞:哇!我看到了。我從來沒看過一個地方有這麼多電子用品店! 這些店不怕競爭嗎?)
John:It's common in Taiwan for stores of a certain type to be located together. It makes it easy for shoppers to compare prices. Are you looking for a specific make? (約翰:在台灣特定種類的店聚集在一起是很普遍的,這讓顧客容易比價。 您在找特定的機型嗎?)

John:It's a good time to buy. Prices on digitals are much lower than they were a couple of years ago. What about this one? This camera is on sale---it's twenty percent off. (約翰:現在買正是時候,數位產品的價格比幾年前低多了。這台怎麼樣? 這款相機正在特價---打八折。)
