At the Chinese herb store

Uranda: Oh, hi! I'm Uranda! My aunt said you wanted some ginseng. Which kind do you want?

Robert: Uh, what's the difference?

Uranda: Korean ginseng is red--it's more warming. The Western ginseng is white and more cooling. Since it's still kind of cold, I suggest you get the red kind!

Robert: Well, OK. How much for a pound?

Uranda: We don't sell by the pound here in Taiwan. We sell by the jin. One jin is about one and a third pounds.

在中药房

优兰达：噢，嗨!我是优兰达!我阿姨说你要些人参。你要哪一种?

罗　伯：呃，有什么不同?

优兰达：高丽参是红参--比较温润。西洋参是白参，比较凉。因为天气还有点冷，我建议你买红参!

罗　伯：那好吧。一磅多少钱?

优兰达：我们在台湾买卖不用磅来算。我们是论斤卖的。一斤约等于一又三分之一磅。
