　　Part Two: Dialogues

　　1.Costs 花费

　　A: We need to figure out how much money we’re spending and what we’re spending it on.

　　B: Why?

　　A: Well, I think we could be saving more.

　　B: Really, well, o.k. Get the receipts out.

　　A: Let’s see. We spent $700 dollars for our home loan payment, $400 on groceries, $75 on utilities, $250 on gasoline, $100 on books, and $300 on entertainment last month.

　　B: That’s $1825.

　　A: We put $500 into the savings account, and $750 into our stock account.

　　B: $3075. Our paychecks our $3300, combined. That means we don’t have any receipts for $225.

　　A: Right

　　A: 我们要算算我们花了多少钱而且都花在什么地方了。

　　B: 为什么?

　　A: 哦，我想我们该多存一些钱了。

　　B: 真的，哦，好的。把收据拿出来。

　　A: 让我看看。上个月有房屋贷款700元，食品杂货400元，家具75元，汽油费250元，书100元和300元的娱乐消费。

　　B: 总共是1825元。

　　A: 我们存了500元到储蓄账户。还存了750元到资本账户。

　　B: 那就是3075元。我们的薪水加起来是3300元，那意味着有一项225元的支出没有收据。

　　A: 对。

　　2. Setting a Budget & Financial Plan 建一个预算和财政计划

　　A: O.K. So, where do you think we can save more money?

　　B: Well, we could eat in more. That $300 for entertainment is mostly going to restaurants.

　　A: Yeah, that’s a good idea, and you like to cook. What about the books?

　　B: No, I need my books.

　　A: Come on, if we save more money we can retire earlier, and you’ll actually have time to read all those books you buy.

　　B: Well, what about the $50 you spent on a shirt? You could’ve gotten something for less.

　　A: O.K. Let’s compromise, if you agree to only spend $75 on books, I’ll agree to only spend $40 for my next shirt.

　　B: All right. That sounds fair.

　　A: 好，那么，你觉得我们可以在哪些方面省钱?

　　B: 哦，我们可以多在家里吃饭。300元娱乐费大都花在餐馆了。

　　A: 是的，这个主意不错，况且你也喜欢做饭。那么书呢?

　　B: 那个不行，我得买书。

　　A: 算了吧，如果我们多存些钱就可以早一点退休，那样你才有时间看完你买的所有书。

　　B: 那么，你50元买一件衬衣呢?你可以买件更便宜的。

　　A: 好了，我们妥协吧。如果你同意买书只用75元的话，我同意下一件衬衣只用40元。

　　B: 好的，这样才公平。

　　3.Living an Independent Life独立生活

　　A: Mom, I want to move out.

　　B: Hey, sounds great to me, kid. What kind of job did you find?

　　A: Job?

　　B: Yes, job. If you’re going to live on your own, you have to pay for rent and everything else.

　　A: I thought I could just get you and Dad to pay for an apartment. I found a cheap one.

　　B: When you move out, your father and I aren’t paying your rent, young man. Get a job.

　　B: You’re right. If I’m going to live on my own, I have to be independent.

　　A: Well, the newspaper is over there. Look in the want ads, but I don’t know what you’re going to find without a college degree.

　　A: 妈妈，我想搬出去住。

　　B: 嘿，听起来到很不错，孩子，你找到了什么工作?

　　A: 什么工作?

　　B: 是呀，工作。如果你想一个人住，你必须自己付房租，还有所有的一切。

　　A: 我想让你和爸爸来付房租，我就找间便宜点的。

　　B: 你搬走的话，年轻人，你爸爸和我是不会给你付房租的，找一个工作吧。

　　A: 没错。如果要一个人住的话，我要学会独立。

　　B: 哦，那边有报纸。看看招聘专栏，但是我不知道没有大学文凭你可以找到什么工作。
