有,商店一般10點或10點以前就關(guān)門了,網(wǎng)點卻可以每天隨時開放,只要能上網(wǎng)就行了.

dialogue 2
A: have you ever tried shopping online?
你在網(wǎng)上買過東西嗎?
W: no, never. I perfer to actually see and touch what I'm buying before I pay for it, especially for clothes and shoes.
沒買過,我還是喜歡買之前親自感受一下,特別是衣服和鞋.
A: that's right. Seeing is believing.
沒錯,眼見為實.

我聽朋友說過,他們在網(wǎng)上買到的東西和網(wǎng)站廣告上看到的很不一樣.

確實有這種事,不好好檢查質(zhì)量,可能會買到假貨;網(wǎng)站也沒準(zhǔn)會突然消失.
W: what's more, it's not always so safe for us to pay online as hackers might steal the user name and password.
而且網(wǎng)上付費有時也不安全,黑客可能會偷走用戶名和密碼.
A: it's said that some measures have been taken to deal with this problem. Paying online is much safer than before, but I still have the feeling that it's
not safe enough.
聽說已經(jīng)出臺措施解決這個問題了.現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上付費比以前安全多了,但是我還是覺得不夠安全.
W: I can't agree more. that's why I only do street shopping.
你說的太對了,所以我只在實體店買東西.

我也是,有時候我會逛一下網(wǎng)店,查一下產(chǎn)品信息,然后到實體店里去買.
W: that's a good idea.
這法子不錯.
