Karen saves some money
Karen: Which of these two suits do you prefer, William? The one on the right, or the oneon the left?
William: Theyre both the same. Theyre both the same size. Theyre both the same colour. And theyre both the same style.
Karen: They both look the same, but theyre very different in quality.
Karen:One is made of linen, and the other is made of microfibre. The microfibre one is cheaper than the linen one.
William: Which one do you prefer, Karen?
Karen: Ill have the microfibre one. It isnt as expensive as the linen one.
William: Are you sure? I cant tell the difference, but you can. I want you to be happy with it.
Karen: Thats OK. Im saving money on the suit. So now I want to buy a pair of shoes to go with it.

卡伦:这两套套装你更喜欢哪套,威廉?左侧的还是右侧的?
威廉:它们是一样的。尺寸一样、颜色一样、款式一样。
卡伦:它们看起来一样,但水平大不相同。
卡伦:一套是亚麻的,一套是微纤维的。微纤维的比亚麻实惠。
威廉:你喜欢哪套,卡伦?
卡伦:我要那套微纤维的,没亚麻的那样贵。
威廉:你确定吗?我看不出不同,但你看的出来。我想叫你开心。
卡伦: 没关系。我在套装上省些钱,去买一双和套装合适的鞋。
