Keiko
Would you say that a car costs a lot of money?
Bob
Do you really want to buy a car?
Keiko
Yeah. The office is a long way from my home. It’ll be easier to drive. Don’t you think that a car is more convenient?
Bob
I don’t think so. There’s a lot of traffic downtown.
Keiko
That’s true. But on the other hand I don’t like walking home from the bus stop on my own. Especially at night.
ケイコ:車はお金がたくさんかかると思う?
ボブ:本気で車が欲しいと思っているの?
ケイコ:そうね。会社が家から遠いし。運転したほうが楽になるわ。車の方が便利だと思わない?
ボブ:そうは思わないな。中心街は交通渋滞がひどいし。
ケイコ:そうね。でも一方でバス停から自分で歩いて家に帰るのが嫌なのよ。特に夜は。
