（单词翻译）

M: Ok, so where do you think we can save more money?

W: Well, we could eat in more. That 300 dollars for entertainment1 is mostly going to restaurants.

M: Yeah. That’s a good idea and you like to cook. What about the books?

W: No, I need my books.

M: Come on. If we save more money, we can retire2 earlier and you’ll actually have time to read all those books you buy.

W: Well, what about the 50 you spent on a shirt? You could have gotten something for less.

M: Ok. Let's compromise3. If you agree to only spend 75 on books, I'll agree to only spend 40 for my next shirt.

W: All right. That sounds fair.
