不，我想不是。

2 .That shouldn't make any difference.

这没什么关系。

但是，恩……让我看看……有可能是……大概是输入条目的人将题目或作者的名字拼错了，所以我现在在电脑上找不到，就无法告诉你这本书是不是卖光了。

4 .But if it's sold out, we would probably be getting a new shipment within about a week or so.

但是如果卖光了的话，我们会在一个星期左右收到新货的。

1 .Ok. Well, I was hoping to get it sooner because like we already have assignments and you know, I mean, I guess I can get it from the library.

哦，但是我希望能早点买到，因为作业已经布置给我们了。我想我可以从图书馆借到这本书。
