Shirley: Hello, 85203882.
Maria: Hi, this is Maria. Is that Shirley?
Shirley: Hi, Maria, this is Shirley.
Maria: Shirley, do you know today’s homework from our economic law class? I have written it on a piece of paper but I can’t find it now.
Shirley: Hold on for a moment please. I’m fetching my textbook.
Maria: OK.
Shirley: Oh, the homework is to explain what “economic law” is both in broad sense and in narrow sense.
Maria: Explain the economic law? An essay question again?
Shirley: Yes. You can use your textbook for your reference.
Maria: Are there any clear answers in the book to this question?
Shirley: I don’t think so, Maria, but I think you can look for information on the Internet.
Maria: OK, thank you, Shirley. You are very helpful. I have another question. When does the “Economic Law of China” come into effect?
Shirley: Oh, there isn’t such a code called “economic law”. The Economic Law of China is a general concept for several laws.
Maria: There isn’t such a code?
Shirley: Yes, it’s a general name for several laws related to economics, like Commercial Law, and Law of Central Bank.
Maria: Got it. Thank you, Shirley.

玛丽亚: 你知道今天经济法的家庭作业吗?我写到一张纸上了，但是现在找不到了。
雪莉: 稍等。我去拿我的课本。

雪莉: 是的，你可以参考课本。
玛丽亚: 书上有关于这个问题的具体答案吗?
雪莉: 我觉得没有，玛丽亚，但是我想你可以从网上搜集一些信息。
玛丽亚: 好的，谢谢你的帮忙。我还有一个问题，中国经济法是什么时候开始生效的?
雪莉: 没有一个叫经济法的法典呀，中国经济法是对几部法律的通称。
玛丽亚: 不是一部法典吗?
雪莉: 是的，它是几部跟经济相关的法律的通称，比如说商法和中央银行法。
玛丽亚: 知道了。谢谢你，雪莉。
经典背诵 Recitation
Shirley: Maria called me to check out today’s homework. She is always so forgetful. She has almost forgotten all the things we learnt about economic law. She forgot that “economic law” is not a code. I don’t know what the reason is. Maybe she needs to review notes after class or maybe she is really getting old.
