听录音,然后回答问题。弗里斯先生可以用分期付款的方式购买电视机吗?如何操作呢?

MR.FRITH:I like this television very much.
How much does it cost?
ASSISTANT:It's the most expensive model in the shop.
It costs five hundred pounds.

MRS. FRITH:That's too expensive for us.
We can't afford all that money.

ASSISTANT:This model's less expensive than that one.
It's only three hundred pounds.
But, of course,
it's not as good as the expensive one.

MR. FRITH:I don't like this model.
The other model's more expensive,
but it's worth the money.

MR.FRITH:Can we buy it on instalments?
ASSISTANT:Of course.
You can pay a deposit of thirty pounds,
and then fourteen pounds a month for three years.

MR. FRITH:Do you like it, dear?
MRS. FRITH:I 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.FRITH:Millionlaires don't buy things on instalments!

Notes on the text 课文注释

1 大多数两个以上音节的形容词可与more/less连用构成其比较级形式,与most/least连用构成其最高级形式,如本课中的几个例子:This model's less expensive than that one; The other model's more expensive; It's the most expensive model in the shop.
2 it's not as good as the expensive one,它不如那种价格高的好。not as…as…可以用来进行比较,意思是,放在前面的人或物在程度上低于后面的人或物。
3 buy…on instalments,以分期付款的方式购买。

参考译文

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:这种型号的比那种要便宜些。它只要300英镑。但是,它当然没有价钱高的那种好。
弗里斯先生:我不喜欢这种型号。那一种型号价格是贵一些,但它值这么多钱。
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,3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!
