dialogue 2
A: have you ever tried shopping online?
你在网上买过东西吗?
W: no, never. I perfer to actually see and touch what I'm buying before I pay for it, especially for clothes and shoes.
没买过,我还是喜欢买之前亲自感受一下,特别是衣服和鞋.
A: that's right. Seeing is believing.
没错,眼见为实.
W: I've heard some friends say when they get the article, it's quite different from what they see on the website advertisement.
我听朋友说过,他们在网上买到的东西和网站广告上看到的很不一样.
A: that happens. Without close quality examination, we may encounter fraud, and the e-shop may suddenly disappear.

而且网上付费有时也不安全,黑客可能会偷走用户名和密码.
A: it's said that some measures have been taken to deal with this problem. Paying online is much safer than before, but I still have the feeling that it's
not safe enough.
听说已经出台措施解决这个问题了.现在网上付费比以前安全多了,但是我还是觉得不够安全.
W: I can't agree more. that's why I only do street shopping.
你说的太对了,所以我只在实体店买东西.
A: me too. Sometimes I surf online shops to check some related information, and then go to a physical store to do the actual shopping.
我也是,有时候我会逛一下网店,查一下产品信息,然后到实体店里去买.
W: that's a good idea.
这法子不错.
