　　女：你真棒!寫意和工筆兩種中國畫，你更喜歡哪種?

　　A: What’s more, it’s not always so safe for us to pay online as hackers might steal the user name and password.

　　B: It’s said that some measures have been taken to deal with this problem. Paying online is much safer than before, but I still have the feeling that it’s not safe enough.

　　A: I can’t agree more. That’s why I only do street shopping.

　　B: Me too. Sometimes I surf online shops to check some related information, and then go to a physical store to do the actual shopping.

　　A: That’s a good idea.

　　A：我聽朋友說，網上買到的東西和網站廣告上看到的很不一樣。

　　B：確實有這種事，不好好檢查質量，可能會買到假貨，網店也沒準兒突然消失。

　　A：而且網上付費有時也不安全，黑客可能會偷走用戶名和密碼。
