衣服穿M號,是middle還是medium?

2021-01-05 09:11:46  每日學(xué)英語
我們在選衣服的時候,一般都用尺碼的簡稱,S;M;L,在這里要注意區(qū)分中號,Middle指的是空間或時間上的中間,而Medium是面積,體積大小的中等,所以應(yīng)該用medium.

這些S碼,M碼,L碼放到句子中應(yīng)該怎么說?我們來一起看一個情景對話

 

Salesperson:

Can I help you?

Gloria:

Yes, I’m looking for a sweater — in a size medium.

Salesperson:

我瞅瞅...這有一個白色的。你覺得怎么樣?

Gloria:

I think I’d rather have it in blue.

Salesperson:

OK…here’s blue, in a medium. Would you like to try it on?

好的,這有個藍色的,中號。你想試試嗎?

Gloria:

OK…yes, I love it. It fits perfectly. How much is it?

好的,太好了,我喜歡這件。還挺合適。這件多少錢?

Salesperson:

Gloria:

Perfect! I’ll take it.

Language notes

Can I help you? or “May I help you?” is what a salesperson normally says to greet a customer.

Can I help you?和May I help you?是售貨員常用的向顧客打招呼的用語。

I’m looking for a... here means “I don’t know exactly which one I want.”

I m looking for a...這里表示“我不知道哪一個是我想要的”

Size medium. Clothing usually comes in small, medium and large sizes. Some women’s clothing comes in number sizes, usually ranging from 2 to 16.

Size medium.衣服通常分小號,中號,大號。有些女性衣服是以數(shù)字分號的,通常是從2到16。

Let’s see… An expression used when a person wants to think something over to make a choice or decision, or to look for something.

Let s see...是當一個人想仔細考慮某個決定,或找某個東西的時候說的話。

I’d rather have it in here means “I don’t like this exact one. I would prefer it in a different color/size/material,” etc.

Would you like to…? is a polite way to ask “Do you want to…?”

Would you like to...?是一種問別人想要什么的禮貌表達方式

Try it on means to test the fit or appearance of a garment by putting it on. “Try on” is a separable phrasal verb, so the object “it” goes between “try” and “on.”

Try it on的意思是通過試穿來測試它是否合身或者檢查一下材質(zhì)。try on是一個動詞詞組,所有賓語it在try和on中間。

How much is it? means “How much does it cost?” Notice that the main sentence stress falls on “is” in this question.

How much is it?意思是“這個東西花多少錢?”注意整個句子重心在is上。

I’ll take it means “I will buy it.”

I ll take it意思是“我會買這件”
