Dilu: 可能你...
John: Let me tell you, its really maddening to try to use a Chinese bank because they force you to use IE.
Dilu: 对对对。这是我为什么要用IE的原因。因为很多支付页面都要求你要用IE。
John: They require IE.That's really annoying.And I don't even have a PC, so its hard for me to use IE.
Dilu: 你是不是从来不在网上面买东西啊？
John: I just get my wife to buy it.
Dilu: No wonder.
John: Anyway, that's all the time we have for today. If you have any questions you can come to ChinesePod.com and ask us.
Dilu: 好。我们会在ChinesePod等你。下次再见。
John: 再见。

John: Hey Dilu，你有什么浏览器？
Dilu: 我有的时候会用IE，有的时候会用那个 Google Chrome。
John: Google Chrome or IE. 那是最新的版本吗？
Dilu: 我也不知道。没有问题就随便［有用］吧。
John: 你这个IE不知道是什么版本，是吗？
Dilu: 应该是最新版本。因为如果不是最新版本，这个电脑它会 remind me to upgrade。

John: 1st, 2nd. So its about to, what, go on the website, go live?
Dilu: 上线 。上线 。功能上线就是指 'release' the feature。
John: Release a new feature. Occasionally 上线 can mean 'go online'.
