Part One
Jenny: Hey Matt! Glad I ①bumped into you. I need some advice.
Matt: Sure Jenny, what can I help you with?
Jenny: I’m going to buy a new mobile phone, and I’m not sure what kind to get. What do you look for in a mobile?
Matt: Well, a lot of things.
Jenny: Such as?
Matt: Well first, I look at brands. ②I’m kind of partial to Sony Ericsson myself, but other people swear by Nokia or Samsung, or some of the homegrown Chinese ones, like Lenovo.
Jenny: OK, well ③I don’t have a preference there. What else?
Matt: Well then it depends on what I’m going to use it for.
Jenny: It’s a phone. What else would you use it for except making calls?
Matt: Ah, but they’re so much more than just a phone these days. They’ve got built in digital cameras, video cameras, voice recording, and Internet connections. You can read your e-mail on phones now.
Jenny: So how do you choose?
Matt: Well I wanted one that takes videos, and of course still photos. I’m not so interested in being able to read my e-mail all the time. So what do you look for in a phone, Jenny?
Jenny: Well, I want a model that has lots of different covers, so I can change how it looks whenever my mood changes.
Matt: Yeahwhat else?
Jenny: And it should fit in the little pocket inside my purse.
Matt: And ?
Jenny: And look cool when I’m using it.
Matt: OK, well, I guess you have different priorities than I.
Jenny: Well, I did, but now you’ve made me think I haven’t really been making good choices before, so I’m going to think a lot more about what I want before I buy this time.
Jenny：嗨，Matt！真高兴碰到你。我想听听你的建议。
Matt：好的，Jenny，我有什么可以帮你的？
Jenny：我想去买个新手机，但我不确定买什么样的。你会怎么选手机呢？
Matt：唔，有很多方面哦。
Jenny：比如？
Matt：首先，我得看品牌。我本人就比较喜欢索爱这个牌子，但有些人很信赖诺基亚，三星或者一些中国本地产的牌子，比如联想。
Jenny：哦，我在这方面没有特别的偏好。还有什么呢？
Matt：然后就看我要用它来干什么了。
Jenny：它就是个电话。除了打电话你还用来干什么呢？
Matt：哈，但是如今它们远远不只是个电话了。它们有内置摄像头可以拍照，拍录像，可以录音，还可以上网。现在你可以在你的手机上看邮件了。
Jenny：那你会怎么选呢？
Matt：嗯，我想要能够录像，当然还能拍照的。我对能随时阅读邮件倒不是很感兴趣。Jenny，那你想买什么样的呢？
Jenny：嗯，我想一款有很多不同的外壳的，这样我就可以看我的心情来更换使用了。
Matt：哦，还有其它吗？
Jenny：它还要能放进我手提包的小口袋里。
Matt：还有……？
Jenny：要用起来看着很酷的。
Matt：好，嗯，我想你和我的喜好有些不同。
Jenny：嗯，是的。但现在你让我知道我先前的选择还不是很好。所以在这次买之前我会好好考虑一下。
Smart Sentences
①bumped into (you) 碰巧遇见（你）
bump的原意是“碰、撞”，该词组就与它的原意有关。“碰”本身带有意外性，所以如果你“碰”到一个人，当然不会是事先计划好去“碰”的。因此，bump into sb.正是无预见性地遇上某人的意思（meet sb. unexpectedly）。如：I bumped into Bill with his new girlfriend at the AMC theatre last Saturday.
②I'm kind of partial to 我有点偏爱
关于partial一词，作为形容词，中国学生不太熟悉的其中一个词义是“偏爱的，特别喜欢的”，它通常与to搭配，后跟名词。如：He is too partial to tea.
③I have a preference 我比较喜欢
preference一词指偏爱之物。Have a preference for/to sth. 指对某事/某物，或做某事有偏好，认为它更好（would like to have/do somethings. rather than others），注意：for后跟名词；to后跟动词。如：I have a preference for fruit that are very juicy and with no seeds.
