Katya: Hello everybody, I'm Katya from Bulgaria.

卡蒂亞：大家好，我是卡蒂亞，來自保加利亞。

Ayumi: I'm Ayumi from Brazil.

亞由美：我是亞由美，來自巴西。

Katya: And today's question is what is a technology that we no longer use? Is there something you no longer use?

卡蒂亞：今天的問題是，我們不再使用哪些技術？有沒有什麼技術是我們不再使用的？

Ayumi: It's kind of difficult to tell because I never use technology acturally. I'm really bad in things in terms of technology. I mean I already broke two computers and a CD player. But talking about which, there was an MP player that my father gave me for my birthday present five years ago and since I have a computer right now, I'm all the time listening to music on YouTube or downloading music, or iPhone, so I don't use the MP3 player any more. What about you?

亞由美：這有點兒難回答，因爲我從來不使用技術。我不擅長使用科技類產品。我已經用壞了兩臺電腦和一個CD播放器。不過至於不再使用的技術，五年前我生日的時候我爸爸送了我一個MP3，由於我現在已經有電腦了，所以我一直在youtube上聽音樂或下載音樂，或是用蘋果手機聽歌，我已經不再用MP3了。你呢？

Katya: I never had an MP player. I had a cassette player and then I had a CD player. I don't even use my CD player any more because it's so much easier listening on your iPod.

卡蒂亞：我從沒用過MP3。我有一個卡帶機，還有一個CD播放機。我已經不再用CD播放機了，因爲現在在iPod上聽音樂更方便。

Ayumi: Yeah.

亞由美：對。

Katya: Also video tapes when you used to watch movies on video tapes. I don't even use DVDs any more. I always watch everything on my computer. You can fit your whole technological world in your computer.

卡蒂亞：還有以前用來看電影的錄影帶。我已經不再用DVD看電影了。我通常在電腦上看視頻。電腦適用於整個科技世界。

Ayumi: That's true.

亞由美：沒錯。

Katya: There are a lot of technologies like that. You remember using it as a child but no more. Also video platforms, there are a lot of video game platforms that are no longer on the market, like .... the first video game we have.

卡蒂亞：有很多這種技術。有很多小時候使用的技術現在已經不再用了。比如視頻平臺，有很多電子遊戲平臺已經退出市場了，比如我們玩的第一個電子遊戲。

Ayumi: That's right.

亞由美：沒錯。

Katya: They are no longer there. Even the old Game Boys, nobody uses a Game Boy any more.

卡蒂亞：現在已經沒有了。甚至現在連掌上游戲機都沒人玩了。

Ayumi: I do still.

亞由美：我還在玩。

Katya: That's good.

卡蒂亞：那很好。
