At the Chinese herb store

Uranda: Oh, hi! I'm Uranda! My aunt said you wanted some ginseng. Which kind do you want?
Robert: Uh, what's the difference?
Uranda: Korean ginseng is red--it's more warming. The Western ginseng is white and more cooling. Since it's still kind of cold, I suggest you get the red kind!
Robert: Well, OK. How much for a pound?
Uranda: We don't sell by the pound here in Taiwan. We sell by the jin. One jin is about one and a third pounds.

在中藥房

優(yōu)蘭達(dá)：噢，嗨！我是優(yōu)蘭達(dá)！我阿姨說(shuō)你要些人參。你要哪一種？
羅　伯：呃，有什么不同？
優(yōu)蘭達(dá)：高麗參是紅參--比較溫潤(rùn)。西洋參是白參，比較涼。因?yàn)樘鞖膺€有點(diǎn)冷，我建議你買(mǎi)紅參！
