芳：今天要讨论的话题是，你什么时候会打扮？JM，你先来回答好吗？
JM: Well I don't reAlly like to dress up in general, I just wear what I'm wearing right now, tee shirt shorts and sneakers but of course on special occasions like, say, a friend's wedding or maybe like an interview or something like that or for a date, then yes I would need to dress up. How about you?

芳：约会时当然要打扮了。JM: Yes, definitely.
JM：对，没错。Phuong: For me though I think girls like to dress up every day because they want to be beautiful in the eyes of the others. For me, I don't think that it is dress up but for anything like some ocasion like proms, parties and some special occasion as well, yeah a date of course, and some occasion like weddings and some ceremony, I think it is a good time to dress up to make yourself beautiful and also it is a way to respect the opposite people so I think...
芳：虽然我认为女生喜欢每天打扮自己，因为她们想让其他人觉得她们很漂亮。但是我认为在舞会、派对、一些特殊场合、约会、婚礼和典礼时才需要打扮，我认为那是精心打扮、把自己装扮漂亮的好时机，同时那也是尊重对方。JM: Yes, that's right.
JM：对，没错。Phuong: Yes, sure. OK.
芳：对，好。JM: All right, bye bye.
JM：好，再见。Phuong: Bye.
芳：再见。
