地道美語聽力播客807: 買男士鞋子（雙語）

Curran: I like these tennis shoes. I need a new pair. 
科倫：我喜歡這些網(wǎng)球鞋，我需要買一雙。
Beth: We’re here to buy you some dress shoes for attending Chelsey’s wedding. You can’t go wearing those worn out loafers, and you need time to break them in. 
貝絲：我們來這里是要給你買參加切爾西婚禮的鞋子，你不能穿這雙穿壞了的休閑鞋去參加婚禮，你需要時(shí)間來修補(bǔ)這雙鞋。
Curran: All right. Just pick whatever you think is suitable and let’s go. 
科倫：好的，那你選認(rèn)為合適的鞋子，我們走吧。
Beth: Don’t you want to have a say in what you wear? I think these oxfords are nice. What do you think? 
貝絲：你難道不想說一說你想穿什么嗎？我覺得這些牛津衫挺好的，你覺得呢？
Curran: Great. I’m a size 10 and a half. I’ll try them on and we’ll go. 
科倫：好，我的尺碼是10.5，我會(huì)試穿一下，我們走吧。
Beth: You can’t just buy the first pair of shoes you see. How about these? 
貝絲：你可以買是看到的第一雙鞋，這雙怎么樣？
Curran: Those patent leather shoes? They have purple laces. Well, if you think they’re okay... 
科倫：這雙皮鞋怎么樣？這雙鞋有紫色的鞋帶，如果你認(rèn)為可以的話…
Beth: No, they’re not. These shoes are totally wrong for the occasion, not to mention hideous. I was just trying to get a rise out of you so you’ll pick the shoes you like. 
貝絲：不，這雙鞋不好。這鞋不適合那個(gè)場(chǎng)合穿，更別說這鞋子還特別丑。我只是想惹怒你，這樣你會(huì)選擇你喜歡的鞋子。
Curran: But I don’t care what I wear. Just pick a pair. 
科倫：我不關(guān)心穿什么，只要選一套就行。
Beth: No, you pick. 
貝絲：不，你選。
Curran: Fine. How about these? 
科倫：好，這些怎么樣？
Beth: No, they’re not dressy enough. They look more like sandals than dress shoes. 
貝絲：不，它們不適合正式場(chǎng)合穿。它們更像是拖鞋，而不是時(shí)裝鞋。
Curran: Then how about these? 
科倫：那這一雙呢？
Beth: Those boots? Definitely not. 
貝絲：這雙靴子？當(dāng)然不行。
Curran: Okay, these then. 
科倫：好吧，那這一雙。
Beth: Those shoes fasten with Velcro. Are you kidding me? 
貝絲：這雙鞋帶有維可牢搭扣，你在開玩笑嗎？
Curran: Okay, why don’t you just tell me what my taste should be and I’ll buy what you want me to buy? 
科倫：好吧，那你為什么不告訴我我的品味應(yīng)該是什么，那我就會(huì)買你想讓我買的東西。
Beth: And leave you with no say in your own purchase? What kind of cousin would I be if I did that? 
貝絲：不讓你自己表達(dá)你想要買什么東西？如果那樣做的話，我算什么堂兄妹呀？
