Well, we couldn't eat anymore. That 300 dollars for entertainment is mostly going to restaurants.
额，我们不能吃太多了。那300美元的娱乐费大部分是去餐厅吃饭的。

Yes. That's a good idea! And you like to cook. What about the books?
是的。好主意！你喜欢烹饪。那书呢？

No, I need my books.  不，我须要书。

Come on! If we save more money we can retire earlier and you'll actually have time to read all those books you buy.
算了吧！如果我们能存更多的钱，我们可以早点儿退休，那么你就真正有时间去读那些你买的书了。

Well, what about the 50 you spent on shirt? You could have gotten something for less!
好吧，那你花了50美元买了件衬衣呢？你本来可以买更便宜的！

Ok, let's compromise. If you agree to only spend 75 on books I'll agree to only spend 50 for my next shirt.
好吧，让我们各退一步吧。如果你同意只花75美元在书上，我就同意我下次买衬衣只花50美元。

All right. That sounds fair!  好的。那样听起来公平多了！
