和老外聊天的地道口語第95期:我還是不太相信網上購物

A: have you ever tried shopping online?
W: no, never. I perfer to actually see and touch what I'm buying before I pay for it, especially for clothes and shoes.
A: that's right. Seeing is believing.
W: I've heard some friends say when they get the article, it's quite different from what they see on the website advertisement.
A: that happens. Without close quality examination, we may encounter fraud, and the e-shop may suddenly disappear.
W: what's more, it's not always so safe for us to pay online as hackers might steal the user name and password.
A: it's said that some measures have been taken to deal with this problem. Paying online is much safer than before, but I still have the feeling that it's
not safe enough.
W: I can't agree more. that's why I only do street shopping.
A: me too. Sometimes I surf online shops to check some related information, and then go to a physical store to do the actual shopping.
W: that's a good idea.

你在網上買過東西嗎?
沒買過,我還是喜歡買之前親自感受一下,特別是衣服和鞋.
沒錯,眼見爲實.
我聽朋友說過,他們在網上買到的東西和網站廣告上看到的很不一樣.
確實有這種事,不好好檢查質量,可能會買到假貨;網站也沒準會突然消失.
而且網上付費有時也不安全,黑客可能會偷走用戶名和密碼.
聽說已經出臺措施解決這個問題了.現在網上付費比以前安全多了,但是我還是覺得不夠安全.
你說的太對了,所以我只在實體店買東西.
我也是,有時候我會逛一下網店,查一下產品信息,然後到實體店裏去買.
這法子不錯.

encounter:to experience something, especially something unpleasant or difficult, while you are trying to do something else 遭遇,遇到(尤指令人不快或困難的事)
