【原文】

W: Can I help you? Are you looking for something in particular?

M: Yes, well... I’m looking for the English literature section.

W: Oh, it’s right down here. What are you looking for?

M: I’m looking for a novel we’re supposed to read: Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility.

W: Jane Austen. Hmm. Oh, here it is. Here you are.

M: Eighteen dollars? The price is right, but, erm, it’s just the text. There don’t seem to be any footnotes. Is this the only edition you have here?

W: Yes, it is. Sorry.

M: Would it be OK if I bought this now, and then returned it if I can find a better edition on the internet?

W: Yes, certainly. But you’ll need to keep your receipt, of course, and be sure that the book is not marked up or damaged in any way.

M: Sure, that’s fair enough.

W: Did you want me to check whether we can find you another edition?

M: I don’t think I have time. It usually takes so long to get a book through a bookstore.

W: Unfortunately, that’s often true.

M: Thanks anyway. I’ll take this then. And I’ll go back and see if I can find a better edition on the internet. Thanks a lot for your help.

W: Thank you. Have a nice day.
