Was your life very difficult when you were a kid?
您小时候的生活是不是很艰苦呢？
Oh, not really. Why?
不是呀。为什么这么问？
Well, you didn't have modern inventions like a telephone, right?
你们那个时候还没有像电话这样的现代发明，对吗？
Of course we did! How old do you think I am? The telephone was invented in 1876. You need to take a history class, Alice!
我们当然有啦！你觉得我有多老呢？电话是1876年发明的。爱丽丝，你需要上历史课了。
Haha! How about cars? They weren't invented yet, were they?
哈哈！那汽车呢？那个时候还没发明汽车，是不是？
Yes, they were. Cars were invented in 1885. My family had a car.
不是，汽车已经有了。汽车是1885年发明的。我家就有一辆汽车。
Well, did you have a TV?
那么你们有电视么？
No, we couldn't afford one. They were expensive in those days. The TV was invented around 1927, I think.
没有，我们买不起电视机。那个时候，电视机很贵。我想电视是1927年左右发明的。
Well, I know that you didn't have a computer, because we learned in school that personal computers were invented in 1971.
我知道那个时候你们没有电脑，因为我们在学校里学了，个人电脑是1971年发明的。
You’re right. But I have one now!
没错。但是我现在有电脑啦！
