A: What are you doing? 你在做什么？
B: I'm just looking for a nice pillow on Ebay. 我在易趣网上买一个漂亮的枕头。
A: You're shopping for a pillow online? That's absurd. 你在上网买枕头，太荒唐了。
B: Why? I don't have to leave the house or browse a dozen stores to find what I'm looking for. This way, I just search for it online, quick and easy.为什么这么说？我没必要离开家逛几十家店就去为了买个枕头。这样，我只需要网上搜一下，既快又便捷。
A: I see. But how do you pay for it? How do you know you're not going to be ripped off by the seller? 我明白了，可是你怎么付款呢？你怎么知道不会被卖家欺骗？
B: Well, the website handles a point system where if the seller does something wrong, people comment negativeively and then you know that he or she may not be trustworthy.网站应用点数制度，如果卖家出现差错，客户会给差评，那样你就知道他或她的店是否可靠。
A: Wow, that sounds pretty safe. So how do you pay? Do you need a credit card? 那听起来相当安全。那怎么支付呀？需要信用卡吗？
B: You can use a credit card or your debit card. They also let you use the PayPal system, which is really safe and fast. I've never had any problems with someone hacking my information or anything. 你可以用信用卡或借记卡，你也可以使用安全又快速的贝宝支付平台。我从未遇到过个人信息被盗用的问题。
A: Do you think I can find a sweater for my dog online? 你认为我在网上能买到狗穿的毛衣嘛？
B: You can find anything. Are you sure you want to start shopping online though? Once you step into this world, there is no turning back.什么都能买到。你确定想开始在网上购物吗？一旦你走了这一步，可就没有回头路了。
A: Let's do it.开始买吧。
