Dialogue 2
Jingjing:So? How did it go with your parents? Are they ticked off?
京晶：后来怎么样了？你父母什么反应？他们生气了吗？
Mark: No. They were more worried than anything. They were just happy I wasn't hurt. The good news is that the insurance will cover the cost of the car.
马克：没有，他们主要是很担心。庆幸我没有受伤。好消息是，保险公司将会赔付我汽车的损失。
Jingjing: Wow, it sounds like they are letting you off pretty easy. What's the catch?
京晶：哇，听起来他们很容易就饶过你了。有什么条件吗？
Mark: The catch is that they are making me pay the deductable, and they told me I'm not allowed to send text for a month.
马克：条件就是，他们要我自己付抵扣款，并且要求我一个月不能发短信。
Jingjing: No text messages? I think I would go bananas! I love sending texts. I bet you can't wait for this month to go by, huh?
京晶：不能发短信？我想我会发疯的！我最喜欢发短信了。我敢打赌，你肯定希望这个月快点儿过去，对吧？
Mark: That's right, next month I'll be like a dog with two tails. Although, I swear I'll never send another text while driving again.
马克：没错，下个月我就又恢复自由啦。不过，我发誓我再也不会一边开车一边发短信了。
Jingjing: Look on the bright side, at least you'll save a lot of money this month by not having to send texts. Texting can be expensive.
京晶：往好的方面想，至少你这个月不发短信能节省一大笔钱了。发短信可是挺贵的呢。
Mark: That's true! I never thought about that. With all this left over money, I think I might go buy some books that I've been wanting to read.
马克：这倒是真的！我从来没有想过这个问题。用这些省下来的的钱，我可以去买些我一直想读的书。
京晶：你看，马克。这次磨难其实是因祸得福啦。
Mark: Hey, how come you always seem to cheer me up? Do you have magical powers or something?
马克：嘿嘿，你怎么好像总是能让我高兴起来呢？你是有神奇的力量还是怎么的？
京晶：没有，我就是太天才了！就这样而已……
