Mr FrithI like this television very much. How much does it cost please?
AssistantIt's the most expensive model in the shop. It costs 500 pounds.
Mrs FrithThat's too expensive for us. We can't afford all that money.
AssistantThis model's less expensive than that one. It's only 300 pounds. But, of course, it's not as good as the expensive one.
Mr FrithI don't like this model. The other model's more expensive, but it's worth the money.
Mr FrithCan we buy it on instalments?
AssistantOf course. You can pay a deposit of 30 pounds, and then 14 pounds a month for 3 years.
Mr FrithDo you like it, dear?
Mrs FrithI certainly do, but I don't like the price. You always want the best, but we can't afford it. Sometimes you think you're a millionaire!
Mr FrithMillionaires don't buy things on instalments!

新概念英语－翻译
弗里斯先生我非常喜欢这台电视机。请问它多少钱？
店员这是店里最贵的型号。它的售价是500英镑。
弗里斯夫人这对我们来说是太贵了。我们花不起那么多钱。
店员这种型号比那种要便宜些。它只要300英镑。但是，它当然没有价钱高那种好。
弗里斯先生我不喜欢这种型号。那种型号价格是贵一些，但它值得那么多钱。
弗里斯先生我们可以用分期付款的方式购买吗？
店员当然可以。您可以先付30英镑定金，然后每月14镑，三年付清。
弗里斯先生你喜欢吗，亲爱的？
弗里斯夫人我当然喜欢，但是我不喜欢这个价钱。你总是要买最好的，可我们买不起，有时候你认为自己是个百万富翁！
弗里斯先生百万富翁是不会分期付款买东西的！
