At the Chinese herb store

Uranda: Oh, hi! I'm Uranda! My aunt said you wanted some ginseng. Which kind do you want?

Robert: Uh, what's the difference?

Uranda: Korean ginseng is red--it's more warming. The Western ginseng is white and more cooling. Since it's still kind of cold, I suggest you get the red kind!

Robert: Well, OK. How much for a pound?

Uranda: We don't sell by the pound here in Taiwan. We sell by the jin. One jin is about one and a third pounds.

在中藥房

優(yōu)蘭達：噢，嗨!我是優(yōu)蘭達!我阿姨說你要些人參。你要哪一種?

羅　伯：呃，有什么不同?

優(yōu)蘭達：高麗參是紅參--比較溫潤。西洋參是白參，比較涼。因為天氣還有點冷，我建議你買紅參!

羅　伯：那好吧。一磅多少錢?

優(yōu)蘭達：我們在臺灣買賣不用磅來算。我們是論斤賣的。一斤約等于一又三分之一磅。
