Kathy and Evan visit a local art gallery near Kings New Square.
E:I like these etchings, Kathy. Let's stop in here to take a look.
K:I don't know, Evan. This place looks pretty ritzy.
E:Come on. We're just going to have a look. All galleries look ritzy, but sometimes you can find a good buy.
K:It's up to you.
(They enter and look around.)
K:You're right, Evan. These etchings, paintings, and silkscreens are really nice. Too bad we can't afford anything.
E:I don't know about that. Look at this glass etching of the Little Mermaid.
K:Ooh! That is pretty, Evan. It must have taken a lot of time to etch that. Very fine detail, and a good likeness, too. I don't dare ask how much it is.
E:38 euros.
K:And that is...?
E:About fifty bucks. To me, it's worth it.
K:If you have enough, then go for it!

凯西和艾凡参观了国王新广场附近的一家当地美术馆。
艾凡：凯西，我喜欢这些蚀刻画。咱们进去看看吧。
凯西：艾凡，我不知道该不该进去　。这个地方看起来很豪华。
艾凡：拜托。我们只是进去看看而已。所有的美术馆看起来都很豪华，但是有时候你可以买到很划算的东西。
凯西：由你决定。
（他们进去逛了起来。）
凯西：艾凡，你说得对。这些蚀刻画、水彩画和绢画真的很不错。只可惜我们买不起任何东西。
艾凡：我看不见得。看这件刻有小美人鱼的玻璃器皿。
凯西：哦！艾凡，好漂亮哦，蚀刻这个图案一定花了不少时间。刻工精细又很逼真。我没有勇气问它要多少钱。
艾凡：三十八欧元。
凯西：那就等于……？
艾凡：五十元美金左右。对我来说，它值这个价钱。
凯西：如果你钱够的话，就去买吧！
