华尔街中级英语Lesson 14

3.
OK, I’m strolling amongst the records here and with me is a customer.
Can you tell me your name?
My name is Hagden.
You are here, in the rock department. Is that your favorite style of music?
Yes, it is. I listen to other sorts. But rock’s my favorite.
Do you ever listen to anything like, say, jazz?
I like jazz. I prefer things like blues¹ to jazz. But I do listen to all sorts of things really.
When you are buying? Do you prefer to buy cassettes, records or CDs?
I prefer to buy records.
They are getting quite hard to find?
That’s right. Yes, but CD’s are too expensive. And I don’t like cassettes.
Why is that?
I don’t really know. I have had records for so long now, that I don’t want to change.
Do you think records are good value for money?
Yes, I do, compared to compact disks, yes.
When you buy a new record, do you find that it gets boring very soon once you have listened to it a few times?
Hopefully no. I’m very careful what I choose when I buy records.
So, you’ll keep listening to it for a long long time?
Yes, I think so.
