The story

张经理：三位顾客在家里实际用了一个星期聪明碗。今天我们听听你们的看法。Our three customers have actually used the Smart Bowl at home for a week. Today we'd like to hear what you think.

小周：这是表格，每人三份。请大家先说，我来记重点。Here are the forms, three each. Please speak first, and I'll note down the key points.

顾客：我先说。我的观点很简单：太贵了！三百九十九块九角！I'll start. My view is simple: it's too expensive! Three hundred ninety-nine yuan ninety!

小林：您看，二十个功能，这个价格很实际啊。But look, twenty features: that's a very realistic price.

顾客：不实际！实际的价格应该是二百九十九块九角。Not realistic! The realistic price should be two hundred ninety-nine ninety.

张经理：不行。No.

顾客：那三百九十九块八角？便宜一角，行不行？Then three ninety-nine eighty? Ten cents cheaper, how about it?

张经理：一角也不便宜。我的词典里没有“便宜”两个字。Not one ten-cent piece cheaper. The word "cheap" isn't in my dictionary.
