外教讲解地道美语 第202期:网上购物

A: What are you doing?

B: I’m just looking for a nice pillow on Ebay.

A: You are shopping for a pillow online? That’s absurd!

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.

A: I see, but how do you pay for it? How do you know you aren’t going to be ripped off by the seller?

B: Well, the website handles a point system where if the seller does something wrong, people comment negatively and then you know that he or she may not be trustworthy.

A: Wow, that sounds pretty safe.  So how do you pay? Do you need a credit card?

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 have never had any problems with someone hacking my information or anything.

A: Do you think I can find a sweater for my dog online?

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!

A: Let’s do it!
