Three days later, in the office lounge
Nate:Guess what, Gilly? I won both bids.
Gilly:Good for you. Did you use PayPal?
Nate:Yeah. It was so easy and super-fast, once I figured it out.
Gilly:That’s the beauty of it, and the danger.
Nate:I should get the items within a week. But in the meantime I’m bidding on a digital video camera.
Gilly:How much?
Nate:Thirty U.S. dollars…and it’s only been used for six months.
Gilly:Hmmm, sounds like risky business. Good luck.

三天后，在办公室的休息区
奈特：你猜怎样着，吉莉？我两个拍卖都得标了。
吉莉：真有你的。你是用PayPal付款吗？
奈特：有啊。我一搞清楚后，就发现它真是简单又迅速。
吉莉：这就是它的美好之处，也是危险的地方。
奈特：我应该会在一个星期内收到东西。但在此同时，我正在标一台数字摄影机。
吉莉：多少钱？
奈特：三十块美金……而且只用过六个月。
吉莉：嗯，听来是个有风险的交易。祝好运啦。
