Two roommates argue over who used up their shared mobile data plan this month and consider switching to an unlimited plan.

我们这个月的流量又用完了，你是不是又刷太多视频了？
wǒmen zhège yuè de liúliàng yòu yòng wán le, nǐ shì bú shì yòu shuā tài duō shìpín le?
We've used up our data again this month—did you watch too many videos again?

别都怪我啊，我大部分时间都连着家里的无线网。
bié dōu guài wǒ a, wǒ dà bùfèn shíjiān dōu lián zhe jiā lǐ de wúxiàn wǎng.
Don't put all the blame on me—most of the time I'm connected to the home Wi-Fi.

可是你每天上下班路上都在看直播，那可是很费流量的。
kěshì nǐ měitiān shàng xià bān lù shàng dōu zài kàn zhíbō, nà kě shì hěn fèi liúliàng de.
But you watch live streams on your commute every day—that really eats up a lot of data.

好吧，我承认我看了一些，但你不也老是用手机下载大文件吗？
hǎo ba, wǒ chéngrèn wǒ kàn le yìxiē, dàn nǐ bù yě lǎoshì yòng shǒujī xiàzài dà wénjiàn ma?
Fine, I admit I watched some, but don't you also often download big files on your phone?

那些都是工作要用的，我又不是故意浪费流量。
nàxiē dōu shì gōngzuò yào yòng de, wǒ yòu bú shì gùyì làngfèi liúliàng.
Those are all for work—it's not like I'm wasting data on purpose.

咱们这样吵下去也没什么意义，每个月都为流量吵一架。
zánmen zhèyàng chǎo xiàqù yě méi shénme yìyì, měi gè yuè dōu wèi liúliàng chǎo yí jià.
There's no point in us keeping arguing like this—we fight over data every single month.

你说得对，那咱们要不要考虑换个不限量的套餐？
nǐ shuō de duì, nà zánmen yào bú yào kǎolǜ huàn gè bù xiànliàng de tàocān?
You're right—should we consider switching to an unlimited plan?
W
这主意不错，要是不限量，咱们就再也不用担心超额了。
zhè zhǔyì búcuò, yàoshi bù xiànliàng, zánmen jiù zài yě bú yòng dānxīn chāo'é le.
That's a good idea—if it's unlimited, we won't have to worry about going over anymore.
L
不过不限量的套餐可能会贵一点，咱们要不要先比一下价格？
búguò bù xiànliàng de tàocān kěnéng huì guì yìdiǎn, zánmen yào bú yào xiān bǐ yíxià jiàgé?
But an unlimited plan might be a bit more expensive—should we compare prices first?
W
行，我上网查查几家运营商的套餐，然后咱俩一起决定。
xíng, wǒ shàngwǎng chá chá jǐ jiā yùnyíngshāng de tàocān, ránhòu zán liǎ yìqǐ juédìng.
Sure, I'll look up plans from a few carriers online, then the two of us can decide together.
L
太好了，只要价格合理，换套餐总比咱们每个月吵架强多了。
tài hǎo le, zhǐyào jiàgé hélǐ, huàn tàocān zǒng bǐ zánmen měi gè yuè chǎojià qiáng duō le.
Great—as long as the price is reasonable, switching plans is way better than us fighting every month.
W
没错，以后你爱看多少视频都行，咱们再也不用为流量争了。
méicuò, yǐhòu nǐ ài kàn duōshǎo shìpín dōu xíng, zánmen zài yě bú yòng wèi liúliàng zhēng le.
Exactly—from now on you can watch as many videos as you want, and we won't have to fight over data anymore.
