JOHN: Excuse me. Do you have a minute?
I’d like to tell you about the Bucky Card.
DAVE: Well... alright. I guess I have a minute.
JOHN: Do you know about the Bucky Card?
DAVE: I’ve heard about it, but I don’t really know about it.
JOHN: The Bucky Card is a great way for you to save money
while you have a good time here at school.
It gives you discounts on all kinds of things. Movies, pizza, clothing, school supplies.
DAVE: What about beer?
JOHN: The Card doesn’t actually give you discounts on beer.
But it will give you discounts on certain club cover charges.
So if you want to see your favorite band at Amy’s or Cosmo’s Club,
you get a discount on the entrance fee.
DAVE: That’s pretty cool. How much of a discount?
JOHN: Usually it’s two dollars off the cover price.
DAVE: And all these other things, pizza and movies for instance--
how much of a discount do I get on that stuff?
JOHN: This pamphlet shows you what restaurants and movie theaters have discounts.
And twice every semester we will send you a new issue of the pamphlet.
The Bucky Card has just started.
Every couple months we have new businesses joining our program.
It’s a great way for students to save money!
DAVE: Alright, alright. Let me look at that pamphlet.
Hmm. Alessio’s Pizza Parlor. That’s cool. I go there all the time.
And Cosmo’s Club. And 4-D records. Alright. How much does it cost?
JOHN: It costs only 19 dollars a year for a card.
DAVE: Whoah! That’s expensive! It should be cheaper.
JOHN: But think of how much money you’ll save! You can use it for a year.
DAVE: Yeah, maybe. Alright. Give me an application form.
翰：抱歉。你有时间吗?
我想告诉你有关爆奇卡的事。
迪夫：嗯……好吧，我想我是有一点时间。
约翰：你知道有关爆奇卡的事吗?
迪夫：我是听过，但我并不是很了解。
约翰：爆奇卡是一个能让你省钱的好工具，
尤其当你在学校就读的时候。
它可以给你很多方面的折扣：电影、披萨、衣服和学校用品。
迪夫：那么啤酒呢?
约翰：这张卡并没有给你啤酒的折扣。
但它可以给你某些俱乐部入场费的折扣。
所以如果你想要在艾美或是在科斯莫俱乐部看你最喜欢的乐团，
你可以拿到入场费的折扣。
迪夫：那真的很酷，折扣是多少?
约翰：通常是少付2美元入场费的折扣。
迪夫：还有这些其他的东西，像是披萨和电影……
我可以拿到多少的折扣呢?
约翰：这本册子告诉你哪些餐厅和戏院有折扣。
一个学期我们会寄两本新的册子给你。
爆奇卡才刚刚开始赠送。
每两个月就会有新的商店加入我们的方案。
这是一个让学生省钱的很好方式。
迪夫：好，好吧。让我瞧瞧那本册子。
嗯，亚力希欧披萨，太酷了。我常去那里。
还有科斯莫俱乐部和四度空间唱片行。好，这张卡要多少钱?
约翰：一年只要花十九美元。
迪夫：哇!那太贵了!应该要便宜一点。
约翰：但想想看你可以省很多钱!你可以使用一年。
迪夫：是，或许吧。好吧，给我一份申请表吧。
