Jessica 在北京學(xué)漢語(yǔ)，她的中國(guó)朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)的詞，就會(huì)來(lái)請(qǐng)教她。今天是吳瓊要問(wèn)的：掃貨。

Jessica: Wuqiong, 明天我們?nèi)コ曰疱伜貌缓茫?/p>

WQ: 火鍋兒？好吃! 可...我沒(méi)錢(qián).

Jessica: No money? You told me you got a scholarship!

WQ: 獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金是拿了，可我一高興就拿去掃貨啦!

Jessica: 掃貨？

WQ: 就是 buy a lot of things!

Jessica: Oh! You went on a shopping spree!

WQ: shopping spree?

Jessica: Right! Spree is spelt s-p-r-e-e. Going on a shopping spree means you spend a lot of money during a single shopping trip. 頭腦發(fā)熱，看什么都買(mǎi)。

WQ: 對(duì)! I went on a shopping spree after getting my scholarship money! 我那天瘋狂掃貨，一分錢(qián)都沒(méi)留下!

Jessica: But do you really need all the things you bought on the shopping spree?

WQ: 說(shuō)實(shí)話，好多東西都用不著，可我當(dāng)時(shí)就是那么燒包！燒包你懂么？就是看著手里的錢(qián)難受，非把它花出去!

Jessica: Haha! Actually, in English, we have a similar expression--your money was burning a hole in your pocket.

WQ: My money was burning a hole in my pocket? 錢(qián)把衣服兜燒了個(gè)窟窿？這的確跟“燒包”很像!

Jessica: Wuqiong, next time your money is burning a hole in your pocket, take me with you! I'll make sure we only go window shopping!

WQ: Window shopping? 買(mǎi)窗戶？

Jessica: (Chuckle) No. Window shopping means we only look at the window displays, without really buying anything!

WQ: 哦，就是光看不買(mǎi)! 這個(gè)好，省錢(qián)!

Jessica: 對(duì)! Now tell me what you've learned today!

WQ: 第一，掃貨叫g(shù)o on a shopping spree；

第二，燒包叫money is burning a hole in one's pocket；

第三，光看不買(mǎi)是window shopping!
