L: I have no idea. 它就放在捷運(运)站入口的地上。It was just right there on the floor.

M: 妳就撿(捡)起來(来)帶(带)回家了嗎(吗)？

L: Yeah, I just picked it up and brought it home. It’s a strange book. There’s no way I’ll pay for it.

M: You shouldn’t have brought it back, Lori.

L: Oh, come on. 沒關係(没关系)啦！就一本書(书)嘛。It’s just a book. What’s the big deal?
