實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Dislikes Shopping 不喜歡購(gòu)物

Todd: OK, Shona, let's talk about shopping. What are things you don't like to go shopping for?

托德：夏娜，我們來(lái)談?wù)勝?gòu)物吧。你在購(gòu)物時(shí)不喜歡買(mǎi)什么?

Shona: The two things I don't like shopping for are food and shoes. And food because I just find it incredibly boring and I just like to get in and out of the supermarket as quickly as possible and just get what I need because I find it really like scary and weird to like how there are just so many items, like, that I don't have a clue what they are and they're all like there on the shelf. They're so many of the same thing. I just find it really weird. And the lighting in supermarkets. It is just too bright for me, and I just — everyone's walking around like zombies with their trolleys and I just find it very weird.

夏娜：有兩樣?xùn)|西是我在購(gòu)物時(shí)不喜歡買(mǎi)的，一個(gè)是食物，另一個(gè)是鞋。我覺(jué)得買(mǎi)食物很無(wú)聊，我一般進(jìn)超市以后迅速買(mǎi)完我需要的東西然后就出去，因?yàn)槌欣镔u(mài)的東西太多，我覺(jué)得那又可怕又奇怪，我都不知道貨架上的是什么。而且有太多同樣的東西。 我覺(jué)得這很奇怪。還有超市里的燈，對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)那個(gè)燈太亮了，我感覺(jué)推著車(chē)在超市里走的人都像僵尸一樣，我覺(jué)得這很怪異。

Todd: Actually, it's funny you say that because I love shopping for food. In America, I love shopping for food because I can read the labels. In Japan, where we live now, it's not so fun because I can't read and it really drives me nuts, when I can't...

托德：你這么說(shuō)感覺(jué)很有趣，因?yàn)槲蚁矚g購(gòu)買(mǎi)食物。在美國(guó)的時(shí)候我很喜歡去買(mǎi)食物，因?yàn)槲铱梢钥炊称窐?biāo)簽?？墒乾F(xiàn)在我們?cè)谌毡旧?，現(xiàn)在對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)買(mǎi)食物就不那么有趣了，因?yàn)槲铱床欢畼?biāo)簽，這都快把我逼瘋了……

Shona: Exactly. Exactly.

夏娜：沒(méi)錯(cuò)，沒(méi)錯(cuò)。

Todd: OK.

托德：對(duì)。

Shona: Shoes.

夏娜：鞋。

Todd: Shoes.

托德：鞋。

Shona: Shoes I cannot shop for because I have like quite big feet. I've got like a size eight, which is like a forty. I think it is a forty-one. I think it's quite big for a girl, and I always see like really pretty shoes I really want, but they just don't fit my big feet, so it's like a big disappointment.

夏娜：我不喜歡買(mǎi)鞋的原因是，我的腳非常大。我穿8號(hào)鞋，這邊的鞋號(hào)是40。我想可能是41。我覺(jué)得對(duì)女孩來(lái)說(shuō)，我的腳太大了，我經(jīng)常看到漂亮的鞋子可是我穿不了，這真的讓我非常失望。

Todd: Actually, you know it's funny you mentioned about the shoe size because, you know, if the United Nations does anything, they should make a universal shoe size.

托德：其實(shí)，你提到鞋號(hào)這很有趣，因?yàn)槿绻?lián)合國(guó)要做些事的話，那他們就應(yīng)該統(tǒng)一鞋碼。

Shona: Yeah, and like dress sizes as well. It's like really confusing.

夏娜：對(duì)，還有衣服尺碼。這真的讓人很困惑。

Todd: Like, everytime you buy shoes, it will say, " UK 12, USA 10, International 6" or whatever and it's always really confusing.

托德：每次買(mǎi)鞋的時(shí)候都要說(shuō)，英國(guó)12碼，美國(guó)10碼，國(guó)際鞋碼是6號(hào)之類(lèi)的，這真的讓人很混亂。

Shona: I know exactly.夏娜：我完全清楚這種感覺(jué)。Todd: OK, so you don't like food. You don't like shoes. Anything else you don't like to shop for?

托德：好，你不喜歡買(mǎi)食物。你不喜歡買(mǎi)鞋。你還有不喜歡買(mǎi)的東西嗎?

Shona: I don't like to shop for technical things.

夏娜：我不喜歡買(mǎi)技術(shù)類(lèi)產(chǎn)品。

Todd: Oh, that's the best.

托德：哦，那些產(chǎn)品很好。

Shona: No. It's good for like some people.

夏娜：不，可能有些人喜歡。

Todd: Oh, I love that.

托德：哦，我很喜歡。

Shona:Especially male. I'm not being like sexist, but for me shopping for technical stuff is just so boring and it confuses me on end.

夏娜：一般男性都會(huì)喜歡。我并不是性別歧視，不過(guò)對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，買(mǎi)技術(shù)類(lèi)產(chǎn)品非常無(wú)聊，而且最后我會(huì)很混亂。

Todd: Actually, that's probably what I like to shop for the most. I think it's fun.

托德：這可能是我最喜歡買(mǎi)的東西。我覺(jué)得有很多樂(lè)趣。

Shona: I can tell, actually. No, I just, I hardly ever need to get anything that's like too technical. If I do, like, I'll just ask someone else's advice because I just don't have a clue.

夏娜：我能看出來(lái)。我?guī)缀醪恍枰冗M(jìn)的產(chǎn)品。如果我需要，我會(huì)詢問(wèn)別人的意見(jiàn)，因?yàn)槲彝耆欢?/p>

Todd: Right, but you have a computer right?

托德：好，你有電腦，對(duì)吧?

Shona: I have one, yeah. I have a laptop.

夏娜：我有。我有臺(tái)筆記本電腦。

Todd: And you have an MP3 player?

托德：你有MP3嗎?

Shona: Yeah, but these things have both been bought for me. I didn't buy them myself.

夏娜：有，不過(guò)這些東西都是別人給我買(mǎi)的。不是我自己買(mǎi)的。

Todd: Ah.

托德：啊。

Shona: Yeah, so that's why. A hair dryer, like I don't mind buying something like that but anything technical and it's just I'm not going to enjoy shopping for it.

夏娜：所以這就是原因。我可以買(mǎi)像吹風(fēng)機(jī)這樣的東西，但是我不喜歡買(mǎi)任何技術(shù)類(lèi)產(chǎn)品。
