Bryant: What's new?
Elsa: Do you know that Apple is expected to release new iPod with touch screens?
Bryan: Really? I'm always in the market for something like that!
Elsa: You're really a big Apple fan. But I remember you just bought an iPod video recently?
Bryant: I'll save money by eating instant ramen for 2 months. It's no big deal.
Elsa: Don't bite off more than you can chew. It isn't worth it if you'll need to eat ramen for 2 months.
Bryant: You're really my best friend. Can you lend me NT$5,000 next month?
解析：bite off more than you can chew == to try to do more than one is able to do (不自量力)
instant ramen == 泡麵
bite
vt. 用牙齒咬；咬斷；咬碎；(昆蟲等)刺、叮
