A:Have you seen the new Cosmo magazine that I was reading this morning?你看見我今天早上在看的那期新的大都市雜志了嗎?
B:I think I may have seen it on the kitchen table.我好像在廚房桌子上看見過.
A:You're right, thanks. There's an interesting interview with a top director about his latest film that I want to finish.你說的沒錯(cuò),謝謝.這期上有一個(gè)大導(dǎo)演的專訪,談他的新片的,寫得很有意思.我想把它看完.
B:Who's the director?哪個(gè)導(dǎo)演?
A:It's Martin Scorsese. You liked his film, The Departed, didn't you?馬丁斯科塞斯.你喜歡他拍的無間道風(fēng)云,對(duì)吧?
B:Yes, it was fantastic! Can I read the article when you're finished?是啊,拍的太棒了!你看完后讓我看看好嗎?
A:Sure. You know it has an online edition, too. You should go online to read if you want to read it now.沒問題.網(wǎng)上還有在線閱讀的版本呢.如果你現(xiàn)在就想看,可以在網(wǎng)上看.
B:That's ok. I'll wait until you're finished. Just out of curiosity, do you have a subscription for that maganize?沒關(guān)系.我等你看完吧.出于好奇聞一聞,你訂了這本雜志嗎?
A:No. I don't buy it regularly enough for it to be worthwhile.沒有.它不值得我每期都買.
B:How much does the maganize cost?這本雜志多少錢?
A:It's almost three pounds now, and I think they're going to put the price up to four pounds soon.現(xiàn)在幾乎都3英鎊了,而且我相信馬上會(huì)漲到4英鎊的.
B:That's quite expensive. Who is their target audience?太貴了.它的目標(biāo)讀者群是什么人?
A:Cosmo mainly has a middle-class readership, but I think circulation will fall dramatically if the price goes up anymore.大都市的讀者群主要是中產(chǎn)階級(jí),不過我覺得它的售價(jià)再漲下去的話發(fā)行量就會(huì)大幅下跌的.
B:I bet you'll still buy it, though. You wouldn't be able to live without your fashion magazine!不過我敢打賭你還是會(huì)買的.你離開你的那些時(shí)尚雜志就活不了!
