W:Hi, Max. How are you? Listen, 12 I want to ask you about ordering shopping online. I’ve never done it before and I know that you’ve been doing it for ages.
M:Sure, I love getting my shopping delivered. It makes life so much simpler—no carrying heavy shopping bags in the rain, 13 or trying to park the car on those huge supermarket car parks, then not being able to find it again after you come out of the shops.
W:But there must be some problems. 14 I mean, how do you know that you won’t get bad fruit or that the eggs won’t be broken?
M:Oh, come on. The food is exactly the same as the stuff you buy in a conventional shop. They aren’t going to deliver you food that is out of date. And if you get a broken egg, well, that could happen in a conventional shop, too. If anything is really wrong, you can just take photographs of the damage, and they will give you the money back or replace the item.
W:How about delivery fees? Is it not more expensive to get everything delivered?
M: 15 I actually found that it was cheaper for me, as I live quite far away from my local supermarket. So with the deliveries, I am actually saving on petrol.
W:I never thought of that. If you aren’t driving your own car, then you are saving on fuel. Right, you’ve convinced me. I’m going to go on the computer now and give it a try. So, which supermarket do you think is the best to order from?
M:Oh, no, that’s definitely up to you. Otherwise, we’ll be here all day.
女:嗨,马克斯。你好吗?听着, 12 我想问问你关于在网上下单购物的事情。我以前从没在网上买过东西,我知道你已经网购很多年了。
男: 当然,我喜欢送货上门。网上购物让生活变得简单多了—不用在雨中拎着沉重的购物袋, 13 或者费力把车停在那些大型超市的停车场里,然后等你从商店出来后就找不到车了。
女:但是肯定会有一些问题吧。 14 我的意思是,你怎么知道你不会收到变质的水果,或者鸡蛋不会打碎呢?
男:哦,得了吧。网上买的食物和你在传统商店买的东西完全一样。他们不会给你送过期的食物。如果你收到一个打碎的鸡蛋,那么这种情况也可能发生在传统的商店。如果真的出了什么问题,你只要拍下损坏物品的照片,他们就会把钱退还给你或者更换物品。
女:配送费呢?把每样东西都送货到家不是更贵吗?
男: 15 实际上我发现对我来说网购会更便宜一些,因为我住的地方离当地的超市很远。所以有了送货到家的服务,我实际上节省了汽油的费用。
女:这个我倒是从没想过。如果你不开自己的车,那你就是在省油钱。对,你说服了我。我现在要在电脑上试试。那么你觉得从哪家超市下单最好呢?
男:哦,不,那完全取决于你自己。否则,我们得花一整天都在这里说个没完没了了。
