Catching up over coffee and talking about getting Botox (コーヒーを飲みながら、ボトックスについて近況を報告し合う)
アンナ: Guess what, I finally got Botox! （ねえ、聞いてよ、ついにボトックス打ってきたの！）
ベス: Really? Is this your first time? （本当？初めてなの？）
アンナ: Well, technically it’s my second. I didn’t really see a difference the first time around. （えーっと、厳密に言うと2回目なの。1回目はあんまり効果を感じられなかったのよ。）
ベス: Oh, I see. So, where did you get it done? （なるほどね。どこでやったの？）
アンナ: My forehead, between my brows, and my crow’s feet. （おでこ、眉間、目尻よ。）
ベス: Wasn’t that painful? I mean, we’re not getting any younger, so a little nip and tuck here and there is no big deal. （痛くなかった？もう若くもないんだから、ちょっとくらい美容整形してもいいじゃない。）
アンナ: I know, right? It’s better than regretting it when we’re all wrinkly. （でしょ？シワシワになってから後悔するよりマシよ。）
ベス: Totally. How much was it? （うん、そうだね。いくらだったの？）
アンナ: It was half the price because I went to a Korean clinic. （韓国のボトックスだったから、通常の半額だったわ。）
ベス: That’s a steal. I hope it lasts. （お買い得ね。長持ちするといいね。）
アンナ: Me too. Beauty treatments can be so expensive. （私もそう思う。美容代って馬鹿にならないよね。）
ベス: I know, right?
