英文原文:
Nate:only one. But I wanted to make sure I'd get it.
Gilly:Yeah, I really wanted that Chanel bag, too. But just in case you should bid low.
Nate:But there are only two more days until the bidding closes!
Gilly:I bid on a Chanel watch at the last minute, and got it sixty percent off!
Nate:Oh...I'm such a newbie. But at least I'm sure I'll get that tennis racket.
Gilly:Don't count on it, Babe. eBay is always full of surprises.
Nate:Well...guess how low the bidding starts on the tennis racket?

奈特:但是再过两天多这项竞标就结束了!
吉莉:我在最后一分钟才投标一支香奈儿手表,而且用四折的价钱标到喔!
奈特:喔,我真是个网络菜鸟。不过至少我确定我会得到那支网球拍。
吉莉:别太笃定,宝贝。eBay是永远都充满惊喜。
奈特:那么……猜猜这个网球拍底标有多低?
