唉，没想到您对免税品成见如此之深，免税品可不只有大牌奢侈品，还有很多物美价廉的好物，购买这些性价比超高免税品，能彰显个人品味不说，还能给生活增添情趣，何乐而不为呢？

Ugh, I wouldn't have thought you'd have such deep prejudices towards duty-free shops. Duty-free shops don't just stock big brand luxury goods, there are also many good quality cheap products. Buying these really high quality-price ratio duty-free goods, not only shows individual taste, it also make life more interesting. Why wouldn’t you buy them?

说得好，可是时间比金钱更奢侈。我们父母年纪都大了，身体又不好，帮不了我们带孩子，我们要是有了孩子，我大概只能自己辞职带孩子，等孩子上了幼儿园再重新找工作。要是生两个孩子的话，我至少得在家休息四五年，那时候再上职场，哪儿还有一点竞争力啊？

What you say is true, but time is more of a luxury than money. Our parents are both older, and their health isn't good. They can't help us take care of the kids. If we have children, I'll probably have to quit my job and take care of them, and wait until they go to kindergarten to go back to work. If we have two children, I'll have to spend at least four or five years at home. Then when I return to the job market, what kind of competitiveness will I have?

你哪儿得来的小道消息？我告诉你，只要不买奢侈品，被查到的机率很小，而且就算被查到了，也只是按标准交税。加上关税，算下来也比国内购买的价格划算。

Who's telling you this stuff? Listen, as long as you're not buying luxury goods, it's not likely that you'll get found out. Furthermore, even if you do get discovered, you'll only have to pay a standard duty. Even with the duty it's still more economical than buying domestic products.

We definitely need to go to Middle Huaihai Road. It used to be named after a French general; it was called "Xiafei Road." It's widely known as the most beautiful, modern, and refined street in Shanghai. It's a grade and rank above Nanjing Road.
