Bob: Rags to riches, right? I read she was on the dole when she wrote the first book.
Yijun: Now look at her. She's a billionaire.
Bob: I guess the true magic at work involved her computer rather than a wand and a broom.
Yijun: Now you can't tell me you don't like her story.
Bob: I get enough of Harry Potter from my children. Besides, I'm a Lord of the Rings man, myself.
Yijun: How can you compare them? Harry Potter is way better.
Bob: Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings fifty years before Harry Potter, thank you very much.
鮑伯：由窮至富嗎？我看報導說她寫第一本小說時靠領(lǐng)失業(yè)救濟金過活。
怡君：現(xiàn)在看看她。她可是億萬富翁呢。
鮑伯：我猜她的計算機才有真正管用的魔法，而不是魔杖和掃帚。
怡君：你不能跟我說你不喜歡她的故事了。
鮑伯：我的小孩讓我受夠了《哈利波特》。此外，我自己是個《魔戒》迷。
怡君：你怎么能拿他們比在一起？《哈利波特》好太多了。
鮑伯：托爾金早《哈利波特》五十年就寫了《魔戒》，謝謝你喔。
