Shirly:
We need to figure out how much money we’re spending and what we’re spending it on.

我们要算算我们花了多少钱而且都花在什么地方了。
Ben:
Why?

为什么?
Shirly:
Well, I think we could be saving more.

哦,我想我们该多存一些钱了。
Ben:
Really, well, o.k. Get the receipts out.

真的,哦,好的。把收据拿出来。
Shirly:
Let’s see. We spent $700 dollars for our home loan payment, $400 on groceries, $75 on utilities, $250 on gasoline, $100 on books, and $300 on entertainment last month.

让我看看。上个月有房屋贷款700元,食品杂货400元,家具75元,汽油费250元,书100元和300元的娱乐消费。
Ben:
That’s $1825.

总共是1825元。
Shirly:
We put $500 into the savings account, and $750 into our stock account.

我们存了500元到储蓄账户。还存了750元到资本账户。
Ben:
$3075. Our paychecks our $3300, combined. That means we don’t have any receipts for $225.

那就是3075元。我们的薪水加起来是3300元,那意味着有一项225元的支出没有收据。
Shirly:
Right

对。
