旁白：现在听两个学生讨论这篇文章。

Now listen to two students discussing the article.

男：是啊，为什么？你不喜欢这个主意？

男：甚至和教科书的价格相比？

Man: Even compared to the price of textbooks?

Woman: Well, sure, textbooks aren't cheap,

但是你认为人们在大学里只会使用一种设备吗？

but do you think people are only going to use one device the whole time there at university?

你必须买一个新的，否则它们会推出一些新奇的功能。

You have to buy a new one or they come out with some fancy new features.

到时候你不想再买一个新的吗？

很多人可能想用最新的版本来代替它们。

A lot of people would probably want to replace theirs with the latest version.

女：是的，甚至可能是每年，这是可以累加的。

Woman: Right, maybe even every year, and that can add up.

但是你不同意这将使学习和准备课程变得容易得多吗？

But don't you agree it'll make studying and preparing for classes a lot easier?

女：我不认为每个人都会认为它很棒。

Woman: I don't think everybody is gonna think it's so great.

女：嗯，这只会有用，如果它很容易使用，

男士：哦，真的，这意味着屏幕很小。

选择一个项目或者让它正常工作并不容易。

it's not so easy to select an item or get it to function right.

你知道，做一些事情，比如突出显示或下划线。

那么，如果很难使用这些花哨的功能，那又有什么用呢？

So what good are all those fancy features if it's hard to use them?

另外，我喜欢老式的学习材料的方法，

Besides, I like the old fashioned way of studying the material,

在页面上写笔记，强调或突出这本书的重要部分。

writing notes on the page and underlining or highlighting important sections of the book.

Switch to Electronic Books

The university will begin switching from traditional-bound textbooks early next year. University students will be able to download the content of their required textbooks to a reading device and read the material directly from the device’s screen. While the cost of the device is around $200, it is a one-time expense. Considering the rising cost of textbooks, students will save money in the long run since purchasing electronic books for their classes is much less expensive than buying regular textbooks. Furthermore, the university believes the device will be an effective study aid because it is simple to operate and offers features such as highlighting of text and note-taking.
