　　免稅商店

　　CAROL: I never understand why these shops have so much liquor.

　　JOHN: What do you mean? It's because it's much cheaper to buy liquor duty-free.

　　CAROL: But why? Why don't people like to buy shirts duty-free? Or shoes?I just don't understand why it's always liquor.

　　JOHN: Well, it's because in most countries liquor has a higher tax on it.

　　CAROL: You mean liquor has a higher tax than other things?

　　JOHN: Yes, of course. Didn't you know that?

　　CAROL: No, I didn't. How high is the tax?

　　JOHN: Well, it is different in different countries.But it's because of the high tax that buying liquor duty-free is such a good deal.

　　CAROL: Why would the government want to tax liquor so much?

　　JOHN: Liquor is considered a luxury item.And also, it is considered as something that isn't very healthy.So if people want to buy it, the government thinks it has the right to tax it.

　　CAROL: That's why a lot of people buy cigarettes here too, isn't it?

　　JOHN: Of course. Cigarettes are also taxed very heavily.

　　CAROL: Now I understand. But I don't smoke or drink.So what am I supposed to buy in here?

　　JOHN: You can buy some of these nice butterflies.

　　CAROL: No, I'm sorry.I don't think it is nice to have butterflies mounted in boxes.It is kind of disgusting.

　　JOHN: What? You feel sorry for the butterflies?

　　CAROL: Yes. I think they should just let them fly free,and not try to sell them to foreigners. It is a kind of destruction of nature.

　　JOHN: Well, I agree with you.I'd rather think that the butterflies are flying around in the mountains.I just wonder if they really catch so many that it affects the butterfly population.

　　CAROL: Who knows? Hey, I like these jade bears here.

　　JOHN: How much are they?

　　CAROL: This one is 2300 dollars.Maybe I should buy it for my mother. What do you think?

　　JOHN: If you want. Didn't you buy her a small vase already?

　　CAROL: Yes, but she would like this a lot. She likes to collect little things like this.

　　JOHN: Alright. Buy it then.I won't buy anything. Well, maybe I'll buy some Cognac.

　　CAROL: Maybe I could buy some Cognac for my brother. He always drinks it.

　　JOHN: Let's go ask about it.

　　卡羅：我從來不瞭解為什麼這些店有這麼多種類的酒。

　　約翰：什麼意思?因為買免稅的酒便宜很多。

　　卡羅：為什麼?為何大家不喜歡買免稅的襯衫或鞋子呢?我就是不懂為何總是酒類。

　　約翰：因為大部分的國家酒類含稅比較高。

　　卡羅：你是指酒比其它物品含稅更高嗎?

　　約翰：是啊，當然。你不知道嗎?

　　卡羅：我不知道。稅有多高呢?

　　約翰：每個國家都不一樣，但是因為酒類含稅較高，所以買免稅酒很划得來。

　　卡羅：為什麼政府要扣酒類的稅如此重呢?

　　約翰：酒類被視為是奢侈品。而且不是很健康的東西。所以如果大家要採購的話，政府認為有權扣稅。

　　卡羅：這也是很多人在這買香菸的原因，對不對?

　　約翰：當然，香菸的稅也很重。

　　卡羅：現在我懂了，但是我又不抽菸或喝酒。那我應該在這買什麼好呢?

　　約翰：你可以買這些不錯的蝴蝶標本。

　　卡羅：不，很抱歉。我不想要擁有盒裝的蝴蝶標本。有點噁心耶。

　　約翰：不會吧?你替蝴蝶感到難過嗎?

　　卡羅：是的，我認為應該讓他們自由地飛翔，而不是試著賣給外國人，這樣有點破壞自然。

　　約翰：對，我同意你的說法。我寧願這些蝴蝶在山林裡飛舞著，我只是想知道他們捕捉這麼多是否會影響蝴蝶的數目。

　　卡羅：誰知道?嘿，我比較喜歡這些玉熊。

　　約翰：這些多少錢?

　　卡羅：這個是兩千三百美元。也許我應該買給我媽，你覺得呢?

　　約翰：想買就買吧，你不是已經買給她一個小花瓶了?

　　卡羅：是啊，但是她會很喜歡這個，她喜歡收集像這樣的小東西。

　　約翰：好啊，那就買吧。我什麼也不買，也許我會買一些白蘭地酒。

　　卡羅：也許我可以買一些白蘭地酒給我哥，他老是喝那個。

　　約翰：我們去問問吧!

　　換錢

　　DEREK: You won't believe what just happened.

　　KELLY: What?

　　DEREK: I went down to change some money, right?

　　KELLY: Yes. We need some. How much did you change?

　　DEREK: I wanted to change around 5000 dollars. And you know the exchange rate.

　　KELLY: Yes, it's about 35 pesos for every Taiwan dollar, right?

　　DEREK: Not today.

　　KELLY: What do you mean?

　　DEREK: I went into the bank with my money, and I looked at the exchange board.At first I couldn't believe it. I thought I was reading the board wrong or something.

　　KELLY: Why?

　　DEREK: Because the board said 60 pesos for every Taiwan dollar.

　　KELLY: Sixty? That's too much. How can that be?

　　DEREK: I thought it was wrong too. It didn't make sense.

　　KELLY: Just two days ago it was 35. How can it be 60?

　　DEREK: So, I went up to the teller and started to exchange the money. And it's true.They really gave me sixty pesos for the dollar.

　　KELLY: That's amazing! Really? How could it change so much in two days?

　　DEREK: I tried to ask the bank teller why it changed,but she didn't speak English well enough.So I decided to go to the magazine shop. The one around the corner.And I bought an American newspaper.

　　KELLY: What happened?

　　DEREK: It seems that yesterday the Mexican government declaredit wouldn't pay back the loans it got from the World Bank.The government declared a default on the loans.

　　KELLY: That's serious.

　　DEREK: I know. The economy here is having serious problems.But because the government declared a default, the currency value went way down.

　　KELLY: So now Mexican pesos are worth about half as much.

　　DEREK: Yes, it's an amazing drop.

　　KELLY: Wow. I feel sorry for the Mexicans. But it's good for us.

　　DEREK: Yes, it's very good. We suddenly have twice as much money to spend here.Our hotel is now half as expensive as when we got here! Isn't that strange?

　　KELLY: Yes, and you know what?

　　DEREK: What?

　　KELLY: I don't really like this hotel that much.So tonight, now that we are so rich,tonight why don't we stay in the most expensive hotel in town?

　　DEREK: Why not? We should do it. Because now we can afford it.

　　戴瑞克：你不會相信剛剛發生的事。

　　凱莉：什麼事?

　　戴瑞克：我去樓下換錢，對不對?

　　凱莉：對啊，我們需要一些，你換了多少?

　　戴瑞克：我想要換五千元左右，而且你很清楚匯率。

　　凱莉：是啊，大概是三十五披索等於一塊臺幣，對不對?

　　戴瑞克：今天不是。

　　凱莉：什麼意思?

　　戴瑞克：我帶了錢去銀行，然後看著匯率表。一開始，我真不敢相信，我想我讀錯了或什麼的。

　　凱莉：為什麼?

　　戴瑞克：因為匯率表上說六十披索等於一塊臺幣。

　　凱莉：六十?太多了吧，怎麼會這樣呢?

　　戴瑞克：我也以為錯了，這樣不太合理。

　　凱莉：就在兩天前是三十五，怎麼變成六十了呢?

　　戴瑞克：於是我走向出納員要求兌換錢，原來是真的。他們真的讓我用一塊臺幣換六十披索。

　　凱莉：太神奇了!真的嗎?兩天內怎麼會改變這麼多呢?

　　戴瑞克：我試著問銀行出納員為何匯率改了，但是她的英文說得不太好。所以我決定去雜誌店，街角那家，買了一份美國報紙。

　　凱莉：發生什麼事了?

　　戴瑞克：好象昨天墨西哥政府宣告不償還向世界銀行借的貸款，他們宣稱不履行債務。

　　凱莉：那很嚴重喔!

　　戴瑞克：我知道，這兒的經濟有很嚴重的問題，但是因為政府宣稱不履行債務，幣值頓時跌落。

　　凱莉：所在現在墨西哥披索只值原來的一半。

　　戴瑞克：是啊，真驚人的下跌。

　　凱莉：哇，我真是替墨西哥人感到遺憾，但是這種情況對我們是有利的。

　　戴瑞克：是啊，蠻好的，我們突然有二倍的錢來花。旅館費現在只有剛到時的一半貴，那不是很怪嗎?

　　凱莉：嗯，你知道嗎?

　　戴瑞克：什麼?

　　凱莉：我不太喜歡這間旅館，所以今晚，既然我們有錢了，為什麼不去住鎮上最貴的旅館?

　　戴瑞克：有何不可呢?我們應該的，因為現在我們可以付得起了。

　　KELLY: I hope the food here is good.

　　SANDY: Yes, it is very expensive. Maybe we shouldn't have come here.

　　KELLY: But the guidebook says a lot of the stars come here.If we are spending three days in Hollywood, I want to see at least one star.

　　SANDY: I think we might not see any.

　　KELLY: Did you like the tour of Universal Studios?

　　SANDY: I thought it was O.K. But it really was too hot.And I think they should show people more. The exhibits should be more interesting.

　　KELLY: I thought it was great. Didn't you like the special effects rooms?

　　SANDY: Yes, but I still think it could be better.

　　KELLY: You are too picky.

　　SANDY: No, I'm not.Hey, look at that guy over there.

　　KELLY: Which guy?

　　SANDY: The guy in the blue shirt at the table by the window.

　　KELLY: I can't see him. Where?

　　SANDY: Right there.

　　KELLY: Oh, I see him now. Wait! That's...

　　SANDY: Yes, it's Mel Gibson.

　　KELLY: Oh, wow! It's really him! Who is that woman he's with?

　　SANDY: I don't know. Why don't you go ask for his autograph?

　　KELLY: I can't do that.

　　SANDY: Why not?

　　KELLY: It's is just... It's just too silly.

　　SANDY: You're too shy.

　　KELLY: I'm not shy. I just think it would be rude. He's eating lunch.

　　SANDY: Oh, well. He's looking at us now. Maybe he will ask for our autographs.

　　KELLY: Oh, I hope so! I would love to be in a movie with him.

　　SANDY: You really are starstruck, aren't you?

　　KELLY: I was only joking!

　　凱莉：希望這裡有好吃的。

　　仙蒂：是啊，好貴，也許不該來的。

　　凱莉：但是旅行指南上說很多明星會來這裡。如果我們在好萊塢待上三天，我至少要看到一個明星。

　　仙蒂：我們可能一個也看不到。

　　凱莉：環球影城好玩嗎?

　　仙蒂：我覺得還好，不過真的太熱了。而且他們應該多一些有趣的表演。

　　凱莉：我覺得很不錯埃你不喜歡特效室嗎?

　　仙蒂：喜歡，但是還可以更好才是。

　　凱莉：你太挑剔了啦。

　　仙蒂：才沒有。

　　你看那邊那個人。

　　凱莉：哪一個?

　　仙蒂：靠窗那一桌，穿著藍色 T 恤的那個人。

　　凱莉：我沒看到，在哪?

　　仙蒂：在那裡。

　　凱莉：喔，我看到了。等等，那不是...

　　仙蒂：沒錯，是梅爾.吉博遜。

　　凱莉：哇，真的是他!和他在一起的女生是誰?

　　仙蒂：不知道。去找他簽名啊?

　　凱莉：我不敢!

　　仙蒂：為什麼呢?

　　凱莉：好驢喔!

　　仙蒂：你太害羞了。

　　凱莉：才不是，我只是覺得沒禮貌，他在吃飯耶!

　　仙蒂：好吧。他在看我們耶，或許他會找我們簽名呢!

　　凱莉：希望如此。我想和他一起拍電影。

　　仙蒂：你真的是一個追星族，是嗎?

　　凱莉：開玩笑的!
