Gilly and Nate are chatting on the phone

Gilly: Did you like the Chanel bag that I got?

Nate: You must have a rich boyfriend because that bag is so expensive!

Gilly: I bought it on eBay. It was only one-tenth of the original price. And the purchase was so easy.

吉莉和奈特在电话上聊天

吉莉：你喜欢我买的那个香奈儿包包吗?

奈特：你一定是交了个有钱男友，因为那个袋子超贵的!

吉莉：我在eBay上面买的。它只有原价的十分之一。而且很容易就买到了。

奈特：真的假的!那你怎么知道包包是真货?

吉莉：呃，有附一个证明书，而且看起来是真的。不过在eBay上面拍卖是要冒险的。

奈特：一个我绝对不想冒的险……

吉莉：那是你没上eBay看过才会这么说……去上网。别挂断电话!
