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.

Nate: No kidding! Then how do you know the bag's real?

Gilly: Well, it came with a certificate, and it looks real. But auctioning on eBay is risky.

吉莉和奈特在電話上聊天

吉莉：你喜歡我買的那個香奈兒包包嗎?

奈特：你一定是交了個有錢男友，因為那個袋子超貴的!

吉莉：我在eBay上面買的。它只有原價的十分之一。而且很容易就買到了。

奈特：真的假的!那你怎么知道包包是真貨?

吉莉：呃，有附一個證明書，而且看起來是真的。不過在eBay上面拍賣是要冒險的。

奈特：一個我絕對不想冒的險……

吉莉：那是你沒上eBay看過才會這么說……去上網。別掛斷電話!
