Gucci: I bought this CD of Guns and Roses from a vendor at the subway exit.

May: From a vendor? Then, it must be a pirate copy.

Gucci: It doesn't matter. It cost me only 5 Yuan. Very cheap!

May: Honey, it's still too early to be cheerful. Test the sound quality on your CD player first.

Gucci: Sure. Oh, no!

May: What's the matter? Anything wrong?

Gucci: It's not Guns and Roses. Not even music!

May: Sorry. But it happens all the time. You know, it's a pirate copy.

Gucci: Yeah. I think the vendor is still there. May I return it to get my money back?

May: Don't even try. You can't get that done. Just don't buy any pirate copies any more in the future.

Gucci: Of course not. I feel cheated and it's not so funny.

May: I understand it, honey. I had the same experience before. You know, it takes risks when you buy this illegal cheap stuff. Just forget about it and cheer up.

Gucci: You are right. Anyway, I'd like to get some CDs of Guns and Roses. Will you go with me?

May: Sure. I'd like to get some stuff for myself, too. What's more, I've got a membership card here. With it, we can get a really good price.

Gucci: Really? Then let's go and get some legal copies this time!

May: Great. Here we go.

古奇: 我在地铁出口的一个小贩那里买了这张“枪花”乐队的唱片。

阿美: 从一个小贩那里？那么，这一定是一张盗版碟了。

古奇: 这没有关系啊。这只花了我5块钱。非常便宜！

阿美: 亲爱的，别高兴得太早了。先在你的CD机上试试音效吧。

古奇: 好的。哦，糟糕！

阿美: 怎么了？有什么不对吗？

古奇: 这不是“枪花”。连音乐也不是！

阿美: 真遗憾。不过经常是这样的。你知道，它是盗版嘛。

古奇: 没错。我想那个小贩应该还在那里。我可以去找他退钱吗？

阿美: 你试都不用试的。那是行不通的。以后别再买盗版碟就是了。

古奇: 当然不会了。我感到被骗了，感觉真不好。

阿美: 亲爱的，我明白的。我以前也有过同样的经历。你知道，买这种非法的便宜货本来就有风险。别再想它了，高兴一点啦。

古奇: 你说得对。不过，我还是想买“枪花”的唱片。你陪我一起去好吗？

阿美: 没问题。我也想买一些。而且，我有一张会员卡。我们可以用它有很优惠的价格。

古奇: 是吗？那我们走吧，这次要买几张正版唱片！

阿美: 好啊。我们走吧。
