The customer is choosing a computer with the assistance of the salesperson.

S: This is a good basic computer package. It's got a good CPU, 256 megabytes of RAM, and a DVD player.
售貨員:這是一套很好的計(jì)算機(jī)基本配備。它有很好的中央處理器,和256兆位的隨機(jī)存取內(nèi)存,還有一個(gè)DVD光驅(qū)。
C: Does it come with a modem?
顧 客:附有調(diào)制解調(diào)器嗎?
S: Yes, it has a built-in modem. You just plug a phone line into the back of the computer.
售貨員:有的,它有內(nèi)建的調(diào)制解調(diào)器。你只要把電話線插到計(jì)算機(jī)后面就好了。
C: How about the monitor?
顧 客:那顯示器呢?
S: A 15-inch monitor is included in the deal. If you want, you can switch it for a 17-inch monitor, for a little more money.
售貨員:十五吋的顯示器包含在此項(xiàng)交易中。如果您想要的話,可以換成十七吋的,不過(guò)要多一點(diǎn)錢(qián)。
C: That's okay. A 15-inch is good enough. All right, I'll take it.
顧 客:那無(wú)所謂,十五吋的就夠用了。好吧,我就要這個(gè)。
