【原文】M:You see the list of books for this course?
W:Yes,Dr Downs said he expected us to have the first five on the list.He is going to discuss them in detail.
M:Are you going to buy them?
W:I don't know.These books are expensive.And I don't have a lot of money on me.
M:How about sharing them with me?
W:Sounds good.
M:Let's do this.I will buy three and you buy two of them.
W:I would rather do it this way:we pay fifty﹣fifty for the books now.And at the end of the course,you can take the books you find more interesting and I will take the ones I like.
M:It's really a better idea.
W:Then let's get the books as soon as possible.
