【答案解析】[解析] INTERVIEWER: ... and today in our consumers affairs slot we haveJoyce Morgan to tell us some interesting news about prices. JOYCE: If you think you'd like a holiday in New York but can't afford it, we've found the answer: go shopping! This may seem strange, but this week we've done some research on prices in Europe compared with those in New York. We looked at three popular consumer items: a pair of Levi 501s, an Apple iMac computer and a pair of men's Timberland boots. If you bought all three items in New York, you'd save an astonishing ￡314.25 over prices in London that's more than enough to cover a return flight and a hotel in New York! INTERVIEWER: That's incredible! Tell us more. JOYCE: Well, let's start with the boots. We found that in Berlin they cost ￡108, in New York ￡90.06, but in London a staggering ￡145! So in London the same pair of boots costs nearly ~55 more than in New York. It was exactly the same for the Levi 501s. In New York they cost ￡24.85, in Berlin ￡57.80 and in London ￡59.95, well more than double the price! INTERVIEWER: What about the iMac computer? JOYCE: Again, the European prices were pretty close, while the price in New York was substantially lower. In Berlin the iMac cost ￡1,009, in London it was ￡999.99, while in New York it was only ￡775.78. INTERVIEWER: Well, thank you,Joyce. I'm sure I know where I'll be doing my shopping in future! JOYCE: Yes, but don't forget, it's a long way home from the shops!
