在超市購物英語對(duì)話一
CAROLINE: What should I get Uncle Teddy?
DRAKE: You could get him a tie.
CAROLINE: Are you kidding?
That's the stupidest gift one can buy. I don't want to get a tie.
DRAKE: Why not?
CAROLINE: Everybody gets men ties for Christmas. It's too boring.
Everybody buys either ties or sweaters. I want a more unique gift.
DRAKE: Well, you can buy him a pet iguana then.
CAROLINE: That's a cool idea. At least it would be a surprise.
But I'm afraid he wouldn't take care of it.
DRAKE: He would think you were crazy, Caroline.
CAROLINE: Yes. An iguana is too strange for a gift, and a tie is too normal.
So I have to find something halfway between.
DRAKE: How much do you want to spend?
CAROLINE: Well, he was very good to me.
He helped me edit my essay for the scholarship contest.
So I want to spend at least 75 dollars.
DRAKE: Alright, I have an idea.
You know he carries that conservative-looking briefcase every day.
CAROLINE: Yes.
DRAKE: Well, he isn't a lawyer, so I don't think he needs to have a briefcase like that.
CAROLINE: What should he have then?
DRAKE: I think he would appreciate having a very fine leather bag.
But more like a bookbag or shoulder bag.
You know, not so hard and square like a briefcase.
CAROLINE: I think that's a great idea. Men look great with that kind of bag.
Where can we buy one?
DRAKE: I don't think this mall has a leather goods store.
So we have to go to State Street.
CAROLINE: Alright. We can go later then.
DRAKE: We can buy something for Mom and Dad here,
and then go buy Uncle Teddy's gift on State Street.
CAROLINE: Good plan. What should we get for Mom though?
DRAKE: She said she wants one of those automatic foot massagers.
I think they sell them at Sears.
CAROLINE: Alright. We can go check at Sears and see if they have them.
And what about Dad?
DRAKE: How about the iguana?
CAROLINE: I think it would be a great joke.
But I know we'd have to take the iguana back. And the pet store might not let us.
So why don't we get him something else? Some clothes maybe.
DRAKE: A tie?
CAROLINE: Oh, shut up about ties! Forget about ties, why not?
DRAKE: I was just kidding.

IVY: I want to buy some running shoes. Maybe New Balance.
DAVID: Why do you need running shoes? You aren't a runner.
IVY: But I exercise at the club. And I use the stepping machine.
So I need good running shoes.
DAVID: That's not the same.
Maybe you want to buy running-shoe-style shoes, but not real running shoes.
IVY: What's the difference?
DAVID: There isn't much difference. But there is some difference.
For one thing, real running shoes are much more expensive.
They have very lightweight materials.
They're designed for serious runners, people who run ten kilometers a day.
IVY: And what are running-shoe-style shoes?
DAVID: They look like running shoes.
They have the same shape. And you can use them for running too.
But they're not so serious. They aren't designed for serious runners.
You can use them for exercising.
IVY: But they aren't as light, right?
DAVID: That's right.
If you want a really lightweight shoe, you should buy a high-quality running shoe.
IVY: That's what I want.
For exercising at the club. I can even spend 100 dollars on them. I don't care.
DAVID: But it's a waste of money. You won't really run in them!
You don't need such a shoe to use exercise machines. It's just a waste of money.
IVY: My sister has New Balance running shoes. I want shoes just like hers.
I don't care if they're expensive. And they look cool too.
DAVID: Well, do what you like.
There are different kinds of New Balance shoes though.
You don't have to buy the most expensive.
IVY: I want the best.
My sister said good shoes are very important. For support. They support your feet.
DAVID: Your sister is a fitness expert, huh?
IVY: No, but she exercises more than me.
DAVID: I really think you are stubborn about some things.
But here. Let's look at the New Balance shoes.
IVY: Here it is. This is what my sister has.
DAVID: Yes, that's it. That's their top model.
IVY: I wonder if they have my size.
DAVID: Well, we can wait for the assistant to help us,
or we can look through the boxes down here. What is your size?
IVY: Here in America, it's six.
DAVID: Well, here you are. Size six. Woman's. 137 dollars.
Wow, what a waste of money!
IVY: It's none of your business. Let me try them on.

CONRAD: I really do like this dining set.
But I just don't know. I don't know if I can do a good job with it.
SALESPERSON: It really isn't hard, sir. You just have to follow the instructions.
CONRAD: What instructions?
SALESPERSON: We will give you a detailed instruction manual if you buy the table.
CONRAD: I see. But can I understand the instructions? I'm a foreigner, you know.
SALESPERSON: Don't worry about that. Your English seems very good.
And our instruction manuals are very clearly written. It's easy!
CONRAD: Could you tell me now some of the things I need to do?
SALESPERSON: Of course.
First, you must sand the furniture. You sand it to make the wood smooth.
You start with heavy-grade sandpaper. Then, you move to finer-grade sandpaper.
CONRAD: Do I have to sand every inch of the table?
SALESPERSON: The better you sand it, the better the finish will be.
CONRAD: Alright.
SALESPERSON: Then, after you sand it, you use tack cloth to wipe off any dust or sawdust.
CONRAD: Sawdust?
SALESPERSON: Yes, sawdust is the tiny particles of wood.
You could call it wood dust. You must wipe it off.
The wood should be very clean before you put the varnish on.
CONRAD: That makes sense.
SALESPERSON: Then you apply the varnish, which is very easy. It is like painting.
CONRAD: And I can choose any color?
SALESPERSON: Yes, we have many colors to choose from, sir.
CONRAD: And after the varnish?
SALESPERSON: After the varnish dries for 24 hours,
you can put another coat of varnish on. Or you can put the finish on.
The finish is hard and clear. It goes on top of the varnish.
CONRAD: And then?
SALESPERSON: Well, when the finish is dry, the table is done.
CONRAD: It all sounds very complicated.
SALESPERSON: It only sounds complicated. It's really very easy.
A lot of people here in America finish their own furniture.
It's a good way to save some money. And a lot of people even enjoy it.
CONRAD: Well, I will look around your shop some more. I need to think about it.
SALESPERSON: Alright, sir.
