'出差'用英语怎么说？
Talking about money 聊聊钱
A: I love your new sunglasses. Where did you get them?
B: I bought them in Venice last week. I was there on a business trip for 3 weeks.
A: Wow. I’ve never been to Venice. How much were they?
B: 1,500 Euros. I didn’t want to buy them at first because I thought they were too expensive, but the salesgirl kept saying how good they looked on me. God she was persuasive.
A; Yeah. I think it’s highway robbery. I would never spend that kind of money on a pair of sunglasses. You must be doing very well, you know, given that you could afford something this pricey.
B：I wouldn’t go that far. I mean, I did get a raise on my salary last month, but I’ve got bills and rent to pay. It’s just I like to live in the moment, you know, like do something crazy every once in a while.
A: Yeah, speaking of crazy, you remember your ex-boyfriend Tommy? Word is he’s making a killing now. He just bought a house worth half a million dollars.
B: What? I never saw that coming!!!
A: Me neither, but he really is filthy rich now!
