店員:我向您推薦這個(gè)。它是一只非常好的手表,美觀,而且只賣100元而已。
C: Hmm. That's not too bad. Does it have a stopwatch?

店員:嗯,沒(méi)有,指針式手表沒(méi)有秒表,如果您要有秒表的,就得買電子表。
C: Oh. I see. Where are your digital watches?
顧客:哦,我懂了。你們的電子表放在哪里?
S: Right here.
店員:就在這里。
C: I don't like this kind as much. Never mind the stopwatch then. I'll take that other one. Do you take checks?
顧客:我對(duì)這款式不怎么喜歡,就別提秒表了,我買先前那一款的。你們收支票嗎?
S: Yes. Make it out to Time After Time.
店員:當(dāng)然,支票就開給Timer After Time。
C: Here you are.
顧客:這是我的支票。

1.look for 尋找……
例:The couple is looking for a bigger apartment.
(那對(duì)夫妻正在找一間較大的公寓。)
2.suggest vt.建議
注意:
suggest 表示“建議”時(shí)屬意志動(dòng)詞, 其后常接 that 從句作賓語(yǔ), 該從句中原本要使用助動(dòng)詞 should,但should 往往予以省略, 而直接在主語(yǔ)后置動(dòng)詞原形。

例:The professor suggested that Jim (should) apply for medical school.
