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(gè)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(hào)，中號(hào)，大號(hào)。有些女性衣服是以數(shù)字分號(hào)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(dāng)一個(gè)人想仔細(xì)考慮某個(gè)決定，或找某個(gè)東西的時(shí)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.

I d rather have it在這里表示“我不喜歡這件，我更喜歡別的顏色、尺寸或者材料等等”

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(dá)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(cè)試它是否合身或者檢查一下材質(zhì)。try on是一個(gè)動(dòng)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(gè)東西花多少錢?”注意整個(gè)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(huì)買這件”
