What is a typical American shopping scenario?
Amber:This is a neat shop. There are so many fashionable clothes here.
Ethabella:It’s one of my favorite clothing stores. Check this out (holds up a skirt) Amber:That’s nice. How about this (points to a pant suit) Would this style look good on me?
Ethabella:Sure would. Why don’t you try it.
Amber:I think I will (motions to a waiting saleslady) Can I try this on?
Saleslady:Yes. The dressing room is right over there (Amber goes to the dressing room, puts on the outfit, and steps out)
Amber:(to Ethabella) How do I look? Does this make me look fat?
Ethabella:No way. It really fits you well.
Amber:I think I’ll buy it. How about you? Did you try on the skirt?
Ethabella:Yeah. It fits OK, but I noticed a lovely blouse on the way to the dressing room. Unfortunately, it doesn’t match. (to the saleslady) Do you have this in other colors? (holding up the skirt) I need one that will go with the blouse.
Saleslady:Yes, I believe we may have something for you . Let me check (goes to the skirt rack and returns with two skirts, the same style but different colors) I think either of these would go well with the blouse.
Ethabella:This one is perfect. By the way, what material is this skirt made of? And is it machine-washable?
Saleslady:It’s 80% cotton, 20% polyester, and yes, it is machine washable.
Ethabella:OK, I’ll take both of them (hands the skirt and blouse to the saleslady)
让我们来看看在美国购物的典型场景吧。
Amber:这间店不错嘛。衣服都挺流行的。
Ethabella:这是我最喜欢的服装店之一。看看这件(举起一条短裙)。
Amber:不错。这件怎么样？(指着一件女士套装)我穿这个会好看吗？
Ethabella:当然好看。为什么不试一下？
Amber:我也是这么想的。(向售货小姐示意)我可以试穿一下吗？
Saleslady:可以。试衣间就在那儿。(Amber走进试衣间，
穿上那套衣服后走了出来)
Amber:(面向Ethabella)看起来怎么样？我穿这个是不是显得有点胖呀？
Ethabella:不会的。非常合身。
Amber:我想买下它。你呢？你试了那件裙子了吗？
Ethabella:试了。很合身，但是我在去试衣间的路上发现了一件非常漂亮的衬衫。说实话，看上去好像不那么合适。(面对着售货小姐)这个有其他颜色的吗？(举起那件短裙)我需要一条和这件衬衫配套。
Saleslady:可能有。让我看一看(走到挂裙子的架子那儿拿了两件款式相同颜色各异的裙子)我想这两件都可以和这件衬衫搭配。
Ethabella:这条非常棒。顺便问一下，这条裙子是什么料子的？可以机洗吗？
Saleslady:有80%的棉，20%的聚酯纤维，可以用洗衣机洗。
Ethabella:好的，两件我都要了(把裙子和衬衫一同递给了售货小姐)。
