对话原文与翻译

每句先给英文原句，下面一行是中文翻译。想练口语时把译文遮住，跟着音频一句句复述。

1. Emma 0:00

   The writing platform removed offline access, which was the main reason I paid for the annual plan.

   这个写作平台把离线功能删掉了，而我当初买年费最主要就是冲着这个功能。

   Line 1
2. Tom 0:06

   Did the contract promise that feature explicitly, or was it mostly highlighted in the marketing pages?

   这个功能在合同条款里有明确承诺吗，还是主要出现在营销页面和介绍内容里？

   Line 2
3. Emma 0:12

   It was all over the pricing page and tutorial videos, though I still haven't found it in legal wording.

   它在价格页和教学视频里都被重点强调了，只是我现在还没在正式条款里找到同样明确的文字。

   Line 3
4. Tom 0:19

   The missing legal language complicates things, but the promotion still shaped the purchase decision in practice.

   正式条款里没写清会让事情复杂一些，但现实里，宣传内容还是确实影响了你的购买决定。

   Line 4
5. Emma 0:25

   Exactly, and now they say the service is evolving, so subscribers should expect feature changes.

   对，而他们现在的说法是，服务会持续演化，所以用户应该接受功能变化。

   Line 5
6. Tom 0:32

   Some change is normal, but removing a core use case is very different from moving menus around.

   某些变化当然正常，可删除一个核心使用场景，和改一下界面菜单完全不是一个级别。

   Line 6
7. Emma 0:38

   That's my argument, because I work on trains and browser-only access makes half the subscription useless.

   这正是我想说的，因为我很多时候在火车上工作，现在只剩浏览器访问，等于这个订阅有一半都废了。

   Line 7
8. Tom 0:46

   Then frame it around material loss of utility rather than disappointment with product direction.

   那你就要把论点放在“实用价值被明显削弱”上，而不是说自己不喜欢他们产品方向。

   Line 8
9. Emma 0:51

   Would asking to end the plan early sound more reasonable than demanding a full refund for the year?

   那比起要求整年全退，是不是要求提前解约会更合理一些？

   Line 9
10. Tom 0:57

    Yes, especially if you used the service before the feature vanished and aren't denying that part.

    是的，尤其是你之前确实用过服务，也没有否认那一部分价值。

    Line 10
11. Emma 1:03

    I can show old downloaded files and recent support replies confirming that offline mode is gone.

    我可以拿出之前下载过的文件记录，以及客服最新确认离线模式已取消的回复。

    Line 11
12. Tom 1:10

    Good, because evidence of actual reliance matters more than general statements about convenience.

    很好，因为证明你真实依赖过这个功能，比泛泛说“这样比较方便”要有力得多。

    Line 12
13. Emma 1:16

    If they won't cancel, maybe I should ask for account credit while I move to another tool.

    如果他们不肯提前解约，也许我可以要求账户抵扣，好让我在转到别的工具时少一点损失。

    Line 13
14. Tom 1:22

    That's acceptable only if the credit is flexible and doesn't assume you'll keep paying for the same limitation.

    这个只有在抵扣方式足够灵活、不等于逼你继续为同样的缺陷买单时才值得接受。

    Line 14
15. Emma 1:28

    Right, because I need a path out rather than compensation that pretends the missing feature is minor.

    对，因为我需要的是一个退出路径，而不是一种假装离线功能没那么重要的补偿方式。

    Line 15
16. Tom 1:36

    Then request early termination first and support it with clear examples of how the service changed for you.

    那你就先争取提前解约，并用清楚的使用例子说明这个服务对你来说到底变了多少。
