美語會(huì)話 146 聽來是個(gè)有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的交易

Three days later, in the office lounge

Nate:Guess what, Gilly? I won both bids.

Gilly:Good for you. Did you use PayPal?

Nate:Yeah. It was so easy and super-fast, once I figured it out.

Gilly:That's the beauty of it, and the danger.

Nate:I should get the items within a week. But in the meantime I'm bidding on a digital video camera.

Gilly:How much?

Nate:Thirty U.S. dollars...and it's only been used for six months.

Gilly:Hmmm, sounds like risky business. Good luck.

吉莉：真有你的。你是用PayPal付款嗎?

奈特：有啊。我一搞清楚后，就發(fā)現(xiàn)它真是簡(jiǎn)單又迅速。

吉莉：這就是它的美好之處，也是危險(xiǎn)的地方。

奈特：我應(yīng)該會(huì)在一個(gè)星期內(nèi)收到東西。但在此同時(shí)，我正在標(biāo)一臺(tái)數(shù)字?jǐn)z影機(jī)。
