Was your life very difficult when you were a kid?

您小时候的生活是不是很艰苦呢？

Oh, not really. Why?

不是呀。为什么这么问？

Well, you didn't have modern inventions like a telephone, right?

你们那个时候还没有像电话这样的现代发明，对吗？

Of course we did! How old do you think Iam? The telephone was invented in 1876. You need to take a history class, Alice!

我们当然有啦！你觉得我有多老呢？电话是1876年发明的。爱丽丝，你需要上历史课了。

Haha! How about cars? They weren't invented yet, were they?

哈哈！那汽车呢？那个时候还没发明汽车，是不是？

Yes, they were. Cars were invented in 1885.My family had a car.

不是，汽车已经有了。汽车是1885年发明的。我家就有一辆汽车。

Well, did you have a TV?
