英文对话：
derek: you won't believe what just happened.
kelly: what?
derek: i went down to change some money, right?
kelly: yes. we need some. how much did you change?
derek: i wanted to change around 5000 dollars. and you know the exchange rate.
kelly: yes, it's about 35 pesos for every taiwan dollar, right?
derek: not today.
kelly: what do you mean?
derek: i went into the bank with my money, and i looked at the exchange board.
at first i couldn't believe it. i thought i was reading the board wrong or something.
kelly: why?
derek: because the board said 60 pesos for every taiwan dollar.
kelly: sixty? that's too much. how can that be?
derek: i thought it was wrong too. it didn't make sense.
kelly: just two days ago it was 35. how can it be 60?
derek: so, i went up to the teller and started to exchange the money. and it's true.
they really gave me sixty pesos for the dollar.
kelly: that's amazing！ really? how could it change so much in two days?
derek: i tried to ask the bank teller why it changed，
but she didn't speak english well enough.
so i decided to go to the magazine shop. the one around the corner.
and i bought an american newspaper.
kelly: what happened?
derek: it seems that yesterday the mexican government declared
it wouldn't pay back the loans it got from the world bank.
the government declared a default on the loans.
kelly: that's serious.
derek: i know. the economy here is having serious problems.
but because the government declared a default, the currency value went way down.
kelly: so now mexican pesos are worth about half as much.
derek: yes, it's an amazing drop.
kelly: wow. i feel sorry for the mexicans. but it's good for us.
derek: yes, it's very good. we suddenly have twice as much money to spend here.
our hotel is now half as expensive as when we got here！ isn't that strange?
kelly: yes, and you know what?
derek: what?
kelly: i don't really like this hotel that much.
so tonight, now that we are so rich，
tonight why don't we stay in the most expensive hotel in town?
derek: why not? we should do it. because now we can afford it.
参考译文：
戴瑞克：你不会相信刚刚发生的事。
凯莉：什么事？
戴瑞克：我去楼下换钱，对不对？
凯莉：对啊，我们需要一些，你换了多少？
戴瑞克：我想要换五千元左右，而且你很清楚汇率。
凯莉：是啊，大概是三十五披索等于一块台币，对不对？
戴瑞克：今天不是。
凯莉：什么意思？
戴瑞克：我带了钱去银行，然后看着汇率表。
一开始，我真不敢相信，我想我读错了或什么的。
凯莉：为什么？
戴瑞克：因为汇率表上说六十披索等于一块台币。
凯莉：六十？太多了吧，怎么会这样呢？
戴瑞克：我也以为错了，这样不太合理。
凯莉：就在两天前是三十五，怎么变成六十了呢？
戴瑞克：于是我走向出纳员要求兑换钱，原来是真的。
他们真的让我用一块台币换六十披索。
凯莉：太神奇了！真的吗？两天内怎么会改变这么多呢？
戴瑞克：我试着问银行出纳员为何汇率改了，
但是她的英文说得不太好。
所以我决定去杂志店，街角那家，
买了一份美国报纸。
凯莉：发生什么事了？
戴瑞克：好象昨天墨西哥政府宣告
不偿还向世界银行借的贷款，
他们宣称不履行债务。
凯莉：那很严重喔！
戴瑞克：我知道，这儿的经济有很严重的问题，
但是因为政府宣称不履行债务，币值顿时跌落。
凯莉：所在现在墨西哥披索只值原来的一半。
戴瑞克：是啊，真惊人的下跌。
