現在，讓我們來看看購買新智能手機時的一些實用語言。

Hello, can I help you with anything?

你好，有什麼需要幫忙的嗎？

Hi.

你好。

Yes, I'm looking for a new phone.

是的，我正在尋找一款新手機。

I have some ideas but maybe you can make some recommendations.

我有一些想法，但也許你能提出一些建議。

Of course.

當然。

What are you looking for in your new phone?

您對新手機有什麼要求？

Well, for me, the number one priority is good battery life.

對我來說，最重要的是電池續航時間長。

I travel a lot for work and I need a phone which can last at least a full day without problems.

我因工作需要經常出差，我需要一部至少能正常使用一整天的手機。

I see.

我明白了

Is anything else important?

還有其他重要的事情嗎？

I take a lot of pictures.

我拍了很多照片。

So I want something with a decent camera.

所以，我想買一個像樣的相機。

It doesn't have to be amazing.

不一定非要驚天動地。

But I'd like a phone which can take good quality pictures.

但我想要一部能拍出高質量照片的手機。

It would be a bonus if it could take photos in low lights because a lot of phone cameras don't do well in darker conditions.

如果它能在暗光下拍照，那就更棒了，因為很多手機相機在暗光條件下都拍不好。

I found that's true.

我發現確實如此。

But camera technology is getting better all the time.

但相機技術一直在進步。

Even midrange, modern phones can take excellent photos in a wide range of conditions.

即使是中檔的現代手機，也能在各種條件下拍攝出出色的照片。

If I may ask, what's your budget?

請問您的預算是多少？

I guess I'll aim for something in the midrange.

我想我會把目標定在中檔產品上。

I don't need something top of the lines.

我不需要什麼頂級產品。

So maybe around 2 €300.

是以，可能在 2 300 歐元左右。

That's fine.

沒關係。

I have a few ideas for you.

我有一些想法要告訴你。

Follow me please.

請跟我來

If you were shopping for a new phone, what would you look for?

如果您要選購一款新手機，您會注意什麼？

What's your top priority?

你的首要任務是什麼？

Do you always buy the same brand or do you look for something different like good battery life or the lowest possible price?

您總是購買同一品牌的產品，還是追求不同的產品，比如電池壽命長或價格最低？

The number one is good.

第一是好的。

Of course, you can use this phrase with different features as in the number one priority is a good front camera for selfies.

當然，你可以把這句話用在不同的功能上，比如首要考慮的就是一個用於自拍的好的前置攝像頭。

You could say the same thing in different ways like this.

你可以這樣用不同的方式來表達同樣的意思。

The most important thing for me is good battery life.

對我來說，最重要的是電池續航時間長。

You also heard I take a lot of pictures so I want something with a decent camera, decent means quite good.

你也聽說了，我經常拍照，所以我想要一個像樣的相機，像樣就是相當好的意思。

If something is decent, it's above average but not the best.

如果某樣東西是體面的，那麼它就高於平均水平，但不是最好的。

If you say this you mean that you don't need the best, most expensive camera there is but you want something that's good enough.

如果你這麼說，你的意思是你不需要最好、最貴的相機，但你需要的是足夠好的相機。

If something is less important, you can use the phrase, it would be a bonus.

如果有些事情不那麼重要，你也可以用這句話，那將是錦上添花。

If in the dialogue you heard it would be a bonus.

如果您在對話中聽到了，那將是額外的收穫。

If it could take good photos in low light, a bonus is something which is nice to have but not absolutely necessary.

如果它能在弱光環境下拍攝出好照片，那就是錦上添花，但並非絕對必要。

So you might say it'd be a bonus if it had a brighter screen finally to set your budget, you could say something like this.

是以，你可能會說，如果螢幕更亮，那就更好了，最後，為了確定預算，你可以這樣說。

I'm aiming for something in the midrange.

我的目標是中檔產品。

I want to spend as little as possible.

我想盡量少花錢。

I'd like something cheap.

我想要便宜點的。

But without compromising what I need, if you put these phrases together, you should be able to say 2 to 3 sentences about what you need in a smartphone, what you'd like to have and how much you'd be willing to spend.

但是，在不影響我的需求的前提下，如果把這些短語放在一起，你應該能說出 2 到 3 句話，說明你對智能手機的需求、你想擁有什麼以及你願意花多少錢。

For example, the most important thing for me is that it's fast and has good performance.

例如，對我來說，最重要的是速度快、性能好。

It would be a bonus if it had over 100 gigabytes of storage.

如果它的存儲容量超過 100 千兆字節，那就更完美了。

I'm aiming for the upper midrange.

我的目標是中高音。

So I'd like to spend maybe 4, 500 maximum.

所以，我最多想花 4,500 元。

Could you make an answer like this?

你能這樣回答嗎？

Pause the video and make an answer if you need, you can review this section to get the language you need, say your answer out loud.

Let's take a look at our next section.

讓我們看看下一部分。

I think this would be a good choice.

我認為這將是一個不錯的選擇。

Based on what you told me, it has 48 megapixel dual camera and great camera software, which makes it easy to take good pictures in low light conditions.

根據你告訴我的資訊，它有 4800 萬像素的雙攝像頭和出色的相機軟件，這使得它在光線不足的條件下也能輕鬆拍出好照片。

Like you said, the battery should last 2 to 3 days with normal usage.

就像你說的，正常使用情況下，電池應該能用 2 到 3 天。

And currently it's discounted to €250.

目前折扣價為 250 歐元。

That sounds good.

聽起來不錯。

How do you mean ra M or internal storage storage?

如何理解 ra M 或內部存儲？

I guess, you know, for music photos and so on.

我想，你知道的，音樂照片之類的。

It has 64 gigabytes of internal storage and you can also add a micro SD card if you need more.
