Myra is torn between letting her daughter get a phone and not. If you're torn between two things, you can't decide between two possibilities, leaving you feeling anxious.
Myra在让女儿买手机和不买手机之间犹豫不决。如果you're torn between two things,你就无法在两种可能性之间做出决定,这会让你感到焦虑。
I also like to buy electronic goods so you know things like iPods and, or a PSP, or you know all those computer games, that kind of stuff, maybe phones, I love phones.
Everyone I spoke to said, 'Yes, it's a nightmare getting your child a phone, but you've got no choice. You have to because everyone else is doing it. You can't leave them on their own'.
Actually I have the opposite problem. When I first got my cell phone, I thought it was so cool to text message all my friends who have one, and I was pretty fast with my thumb then.
For example, if you buy a phone in the United States, it's quite common for some companies to give you a discounted price, a cheaper price, if you also sign a two-year contract with that phone company.
