Archi: Oh my goodness, Daniel! What are these huge cardboard boxes? They are blocking the doorway; I can hardly come in!

Daniel: Oops, sorry! Those are some products that I purchased online. In a new year we need to clear out the old stuff. The new stuff just all arrived at the same time.

Archi: Alright. You mean “out with the old, in with the new”. I agree that new-year is a good time for a clear-up, but this is really too many. Do you know exactly what you are getting?

Daniel: Of course I know! Online stores clearly display the description and pictures of the products, so there is no need to worry. Just enjoy the advantages online shopping grants us.

Archi: Hmm. There is no doubt that online shopping is convenient.

Daniel: Right? Online shopping is not restricted by time and place. People don’t even have to step out of the door; they can get whatever they want just by clicking the mouse.

Archi: That’s for sure. Nevertheless, there are still some downsides we cannot overlook. For instance, if you buy clothes online, you cannot try it on in advance to make sure it really suits you.

Daniel: No worries, I definitely know what size I wear……Hey! I can’t fit into this pair of trousers!

Archi: I told you so! By the way, you should also think about how to deal with these boxes and packaging.

Daniel: Okay.

中文翻譯

阿奇：我的天啊，丹尼爾！這些巨大的紙箱是什麼？它們擋住門口，我幾乎進不來！
丹尼爾：糟糕，對不起！那些是我在網路上購買的一些商品。在新的一年我們需要把舊的東西清理掉，新的東西只是剛好都在同個時間抵達啦。
阿奇：好吧，你是指「舊的不去，新的不來」。我同意新年是一個適合大掃除的時機，可是這真的太多了。你真的知道你買了什麼嗎？
丹尼爾：我當然知道！網路商店清楚地展示了商品的描述和圖片，所以沒有必要擔心，只要享受線上購物帶給我們的好處就好了。
阿奇：嗯，線上購物很方便是無庸置疑的。
丹尼爾：是吧？線上購物不受時間和地點的限制，人們根本不用踏出家門，只要點點滑鼠，他們就可以得到任何他們想要的東西。
阿奇：那是肯定的。儘管如此，還是有一些缺點不容我們忽視。例如，如果你在網路上買衣服，你無法事先試穿以確定它真的適合你。
丹尼爾：不用擔心，我絕對知道我穿什麼尺寸……嘿！我塞不進這件長褲！
阿奇：我就說吧！順帶一提，你也該想想如何處理這些紙箱和包裝。
丹尼爾：好啦。
