听录音，然后回答问题。弗里斯先生可以用分期付款方式购买电视机吗？如何操作呢？

MR. FRITH: I like television very much.
           How much does it cost?
ASSISTANT: It's the most expensive model in the shop.
           It costs five hundred pounds.
MR. FRITH: That's too expensive for us.
           We can't afford all that money.
ASSISTANT: This model's less expensive than that one.
           It's only three hundred pounds.
           But, of course,it's not as good as the expensive one.
MR. FRITH: I don't like the model.
           The other model's more expensive, but it's worth the money.
MR. FRITH: Can we buy it on instalments?
ASSISTANT: Of course.
           You can pay a deposit of thirty pounds, and then fourteen pounds a month for three years.
MR. FRITH: Do you like it, dear?
MRS. FRITH:I certainly do,but I don't like the price.
           You always want the best,but we can't afford it.
           Sometimes you think you're a millionaire!
MR. FRITH: Millionaires don't buy things on instalments!

弗里斯先生：我非常喜欢这台电视机。请问它多少钱？
店      员：这是店里最贵的型号。它的售价是500英镑。
弗里斯夫人：这对我们来说是太贵了我们花不起那么多钱。
店      员：这种型号比那种要便宜些。它只要300英镑。但是，它当然没有价钱高那种好。
弗里斯先生：我不喜欢这种型号。那种型号价格是贵一些，但它值得那么多钱。
弗里斯先生：我们可以用分期付款的方式购买吗？
店      员：当然可以。您可以先付30英镑定金，然后每月14镑,3年付清。
弗里斯先生：你喜欢吗，亲爱的？
弗里斯夫人：我当然喜欢，但是我不喜欢这个价钱。你总是要买最好的，可我们买不起，有时候你认为自己是个百万富翁！
弗里斯先生：百万富翁是不会分期付款买东西的！
