Chloe家里有很多用不著的東西，她想上網(wǎng)把它們賣了。上次，她的電腦上不了網(wǎng)，東西沒賣成?，F(xiàn)在，網(wǎng)修好了，Chloe的朋友Matt過來，幫她在網(wǎng)上發(fā)帖子賣貨。

Professor. That's right, Winnie. Let's hope Matt is more helpful selling things than he was fixing the Internet.

Matt: Chloe, you are really lucky that I am here to help you sell this stuff online. I am an expert at this!

Chloe: Well you also said you were an expert at fixing my computer, but you couldn't do that at all.

Matt: Believe me, this time I mean it. I am going to help you sell your things for a lot of money.

Chloe: I guess I have to trust you. I've never posted an advertisement on the Internet before. What should we do first?

Matt又來了，說自己是上網(wǎng)賣東西的行家！他一定又在吹牛！對了，Professor, Chloe說，她想在網(wǎng)上 post一則廣告。post這個詞在這是登的意思吧？

Professor: That's right. You can also "post" pictures on a website, or "post" comments on a blog.

在網(wǎng)上登廣告、發(fā)照片、寫評論都可以說post.

Matt: The first thing we have to do is decide where to post the ad. Do you want to auction it on eBay?

Chloe: Yeah, that sounds good. How do I do that?

Matt: Well first you will have to create an account. Then you will have to write a description of the item and upload some pictures. What are you selling?

Chloe: I'm selling my bike. I don't ride it very often anymore, but it's still in good condition.

Professor Bowman, auction, 是“拍賣”的意思么？

Professor: That's exactly right, Winnie. What does Matt say Chloe has to do to auction her bike online?

他說，Chloe可以去拍賣網(wǎng) - eBay，先注冊一個account - 帳號，然后就可以賣她的自行車了。

Professor: Winnie, you can also create other kinds of accounts on the Internet, such as an e-mail account. Matt also says Chloe needs to "upload" some pictures. Do you know what that means?

這個我知道! upload 上傳，跟download下載正好相反，賣東西當(dāng)然最好有照片，所以要upload some pictures上傳一些照片。

Matt: You know what else you can do? You can post a link to the bike company's Web site so that people can find more information about it.

Chloe: That's a great idea. But how much do you think I should sell it for?

Matt: We can search the advertisements for other bicycles on eBay, and see what the asking price is.

Chloe: Hey, great idea! You know Matt, you're a lot better at selling things online than you are at fixing computers.

Professor: So Winnie, what does Matt say Chloe should post on her advertisement?

Matt說，Chloe應(yīng)該在廣告中放個link - 鏈接，接到自行車廠家的網(wǎng)站，這樣，感興趣的買主就能更多地了解這輛車的情況。

Professor: Right! You can also use the word "link" as a verb, too. For example, you can link from one page to the next by clicking on the link.

哦，link還可以當(dāng)動詞用。對了，professor, 什么是asking price？

Professor: It's the original price you ask for, before you start negotiating.

哦，asking price就是賣家開出的要價。

Chloe: Well, it looks like we are finished posting the ad. Do you think I will get many responses?

Matt: Maybe. It would also be a good idea to post a link to your ad on your personal Web page.

Chloe: Oh yeah, I've got a MyFace page. Maybe some of my friends would want to buy my bike.

Matt: Well, post the link and see what happens. MyFace gets a lot of traffic.

Professor, Matt說MyFace這個網(wǎng)站gets a lot of "traffic." "traffic"不是指馬路上的車么？

Professor: Yes, but you can talk about Internet traffic too.

哦， Internet traffic應(yīng)該就是網(wǎng)站的訪問量! Professor, Matt這次好像沒吹牛，的確幫了Chloe不少忙。希望Chloe的自行車能很快賣出!

Professor: Listen next time to find out!
