CAROLYN: Albert and I need a lot of things to furnish our house.
    But I don't know where the best place to shop is. Can you give me some advice?
    STEPHANIE: Sure, Carolyn. I'm happy to help you.
    What kinds of things do you need right now?
    CAROLYN: Well, we have most of the furniture already.
    We mostly need kitchen utensils, bathroom accessories,
    cleaning and laundry accessories--things like that.
    And Albert wants to set up a little office in the small bedroom.
    STEPHANIE: Well, as for Albert, he should go to an office supply store.
    There's a very good one called Office Depot. They have everything he will need.
    And their prices are good too. It's very convenient.
    CAROLYN: Can I write that down?
    STEPHANIE: Sure, it's spelled "Office" and then D - E - P - O - T.
    It's in the Yellow Pages.
    CAROLYN: Thanks.
    STEPHANIE: And as for the kitchen things, do you want very high quality?
    CAROLYN: What do you mean?
    STEPHANIE: I mean, do you want the best quality, or do you want good prices?
    CAROLYN: Probably good prices. You know we will only be in America for about a year.
    STEPHANIE: Then I suggest you go to K-Mart or Wal-Mart.
    CAROLYN: What are those stores?
    STEPHANIE: They are very large, discount department stores.
    That means their prices are very good.
    And you can find everything you need for the kitchen or bathroom.
    CAROLYN: Even silverware?
    STEPHANIE: Yes, everything.
    They don't have the most expensive brands, but their quality is usually decent.
    The main thing is, they have good prices, and they are very convenient.
    CAROLYN: I have a friend that said something about a place called Price Club.
    Do you know about that?
    STEPHANIE: I have never shopped there,
    but I think Price Club is a kind of membership store.
    CAROLYN: What does that mean?
    STEPHANIE: That means you have to pay a membership fee to shop there.
    I have heard they have very good prices on electronics.
    CAROLYN: Electronics?
    STEPHANIE: Yes. Like stereos and televisions.
    CAROLYN: How much is the membership fee?
    STEPHANIE: I'm not sure.
    But if you are only going to stay a year, I don't think Price Club is good to join.
    They have great deals occasionally.
    They are very good for people who like to buy new things all the time.
    CAROLYN: I see. Thanks for these tips. We really need to buy a lot of little things.
    STEPHANIE: I know how it is. Moving is very troublesome.凱洛琳：艾博特和我需要很多東西裝潢家里。
    我不知道去什么地方買好，你可以給我一些建議嗎？
    史蒂芬妮：當(dāng)然可以，我很樂意幫忙。
    你目前需要什么東西？
    凱洛琳：大部分的家具我們都有了。
    我們主要需要廚房用具，浴室用的，
    清潔和洗衣之類的用品。
    而且艾博特想在小的臥室里弄一個小辦公室。
    史蒂芬妮：對艾博特來說，他應(yīng)該去辦公室用品店。
    有一家不錯的店叫"帝伯辦公用品"，在那兒有他需要的每樣?xùn)|西。
    而且價格也公道，很方便的。
    凱洛琳：我可以寫下來嗎？
    史蒂芬妮：當(dāng)然，拼成 OFFICE，然后 D-E-P-O-T 。
    在電話簿里有。
    凱洛琳：謝謝。
    史蒂芬妮：至于廚具，你要很高級的嗎？
    凱洛琳：什么意思？
    史蒂芬妮：我是指你要很高級的還是便宜的？
    凱洛琳：便宜的好了，我們大概只在美國待一年。
    史蒂芬妮：那我建議你去凱馬特，或沃爾瑪。
    凱洛琳：那些是什么店？
    史蒂芬妮：是很大又有折扣的百貨商店，
    價格很便宜。
    你可以找到你需要的每樣廚房和浴室用品。
    凱洛琳：連銀器都有嗎？
    史蒂芬妮：是的，每樣都有。
    雖然不是最貴的品牌，但是材質(zhì)通常都很好。
    最主要的是價格便宜，而且購買方便。
    凱洛琳：我有個朋友提到一個地方叫"優(yōu)待價俱樂部"。
    你知道那里嗎？
    史蒂芬妮：我沒去那逛過，
    不過我想那是會員俱樂部。
    凱洛琳：怎么說呢？
    史蒂芬妮：你必須繳交會費才能在那兒消費。
    我聽說他們的電器用品很便宜。
    凱洛琳：電器用品？
    史蒂芬妮：是的，像是音響和電視。
    凱洛琳：會費是多少呢？
    史蒂芬妮：我不確定。
    不過如果你只待一年，加入俱樂部并不劃算。
    有時他們會有很棒的促銷。
    對那些總是想買新產(chǎn)品的人而言是劃算的。
    凱洛琳：我懂了，謝謝你的建議。我們真的需要買很多瑣碎的東西。
    史蒂芬妮：我了解，搬家是很麻煩的。
