1--Mary, come here. I've found the book our teacher recommended us to buy last week.
2--Really? How much is it? Oh, it's 42 yuan! How expensive!
1--You know, it is the best seller for this year. It has had its fifth impression since its publication early this year.
2--How come? I have never seen such a popular book before.
1--Wait a minute. I found there were two printings. The paperback books must be much cheaper.
2--You are right. Let's buy the cheaper one.

譯文:
1--瑪麗過來。我已經(jīng)找到了老師上周推薦我們買的那本書。
2--真的?多少錢一本?哇,要42元呀。真貴啊!
1--你知道,這可是今年最暢銷的書。從今年年初出版以來這本書已經(jīng)重印五次了。
2--怎么會?我以前從未見過有這么熱門的書。
1--等等。我發(fā)現(xiàn)這里有兩種印刷本。平裝本的書肯定要使宜得多了。
2--你說得對。我們就買便宜的這種。
