W: Hey there, Christopher. What are you up to?
M: I’m just poring over (仔细阅读) some brochures about various car models.
W: Oh, so you’re thinking about buying a car?
M: Yeah, it looks that way. My wife has been bugging (打扰,使厌烦) me about it. I thought we could probably survive without one, but with a baby on the way, maybe it is time to get a car.
W: So this would be your first automobile?
M: That’s right. For quite a few years, I rode a bicycle to work. Then I got a motorbike.
W: Yeah, I think I can understand your wife’s position. Asking her to ride on a motorcycle when she’s pregnant is a tall order (很难实现的要求,奢求).
M: Oh… I don’t let her ride with me. It’s just too dangerous. She takes the bus to work, but it is sometimes difficult to get a seat and it’s crowded and hot.
W: So it’s time to buy your very first car! Wow, that’s exciting!
M: Yes, but it’s also a pretty big financial responsibility. I’m having a hard time deciding which model is best for us.
W: Yeah, it is a tough call. Each one has its pros and cons. Are you looking for a sedan (大轿车)?
M: Yes, I’d like a Jeep, but my wife says we have to get a comfortable sedan for long drives home to see her relatives.
W: I’d advise you to listen to your wife. She will be sitting in the back taking care of the kid, so whatever she prefers is probably the best choice.
M: What do you think about this one? Here, take a look.
W: I like it. It’s quite stylish. But it’s also pretty small.
M: That’s OK. We are only a family of three. And it gets good gas mileage (英里数) and overall has good value.
W: When I was young, having a car was all about power, prestige and fashion. But today, everything is about economy, value and savings. Have you considered getting a second-hand car?
M: My wife rejected that idea. She says that you never know if the car dealer is unscrupulous (不择手段,无耻的). The car could be water damaged or could have been involved in an accident.
W: She makes some good points. Anyway, having a new car is a great experience. How about the color?
M: Blue is my lucky color, so I’ll pick blue if possible. My wife says we should consider black because it doesn’t look dirty so quickly.
W: Cool! Well, let me know when you decide. I’d love to check out your new car!
M: Sure. Thanks for the input.
