吉姆：很快我们就要去上海出差。你之前去过吗?
Paddy: Yes, Shanghai is a great city.
帕迪：去过。上海是一个很棒的城市。
Jim: What’s great about it?
吉姆：好在哪里?
Paddy: It’s a safe and clean place. There’s a lot of good restaurants and great nightlife. The former Frenchtown is nice, the architecture is cool – I think they have the second tallest building in the world across the water on the Pudong side – that’s worth checking out. And there are a lot of shops, and a lot of beautiful girls too…
帕迪：很安全也很干净。有很多好的餐馆，不错的夜生活。曾经的法租界地区很漂亮，建筑太棒了——我想在浦东旁边有世界上第二高的建筑——这真是值得去看一看。有很多的商店，也有很多的女孩子……
Jim: Sounds fun! Where do you recommend shopping?
吉姆：听上去很有趣。你推荐哪里去购物?
Paddy: It depends what you want. There’s some good markets. Try the fabric market for tailor-made clothes and Qipu lu is good for clothes too.
帕迪：这取决于什么是你想要的。有不少好的市场。去一下轻纺市场买一些量身定制的衣服，七浦路也是买衣服不错的地方。
Jim: Is it cheap?
吉姆：便宜吗?
Paddy: Shanghai is not that cheap these days. It used to be, but now it’s on a par with the UK.
帕迪：现在上海东西可不便宜。过去是的，但是现在和英国已经差不多了。
Jim: Yeah, since the pound fell….
吉姆：是的，自从英镑汇率下降之后……
Paddy: Yeah, but you can still get about(走动) on the metro and taxis pretty cheaply.
帕迪：是的，但是你仍旧可以比较便宜地出行坐地铁和打车。
Jim：Can you bring me back some DVDs?
吉姆：你能带给我一些DVD吗?
Paddy: No problem.
帕迪：没有问题。
Jim: Thanks Paddy
吉姆：谢谢，帕迪。
