實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Ad Space 廣告空間

Todd: So, Melissa, this week we're talking about buying things. Now, in terms of shopping, are you one those people that are like a shop-a-holic? You buy things you don't need?

托德：梅莉莎，這周我們來(lái)聊聊買(mǎi)東西。在購(gòu)物方面，你算是購(gòu)物狂嗎?你會(huì)買(mǎi)那些你不需要的東西嗎?

Melissa: Yes, but recently I've been trying to veer away from that habit.

梅莉莎：會(huì)，不過(guò)最近我正在努力改變這個(gè)習(xí)慣。

Todd: So, what influences you most to buy something? Is it like commercials or is just impulse?

托德：在買(mǎi)東西時(shí)，什么對(duì)你的影響最大?是廣告還是一時(shí)的沖動(dòng)?

Melissa: I think it's kind of just having the money and feeling like I deserve it.

梅莉莎：我想應(yīng)該是這樣，如果我有錢(qián)，那我覺(jué)得那東西就應(yīng)該是我的。

Todd: So, it's a reward?

托德：就像獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)一樣?

Melissa: Yeah, it's always a reward for something.

梅莉莎：對(duì)，一種獎(jiǎng)賞。

Todd: Well, how about ... how persuaded are you to buy something by commercials or advertising or things like that?

托德：那廣告之類(lèi)的宣傳對(duì)你買(mǎi)東西的影響有多大?

Melissa: Defintely food commercials persuade me to buy it. Like I'll see a food commercial or even a picture of deliciously looking food and I'll want to have it, so I have two or three concrete examples over just the past month where I saw an ad for food and I went and bought it.

梅莉莎：我看到食品廣告后絕對(duì)會(huì)去買(mǎi)回來(lái)。如果我看到食品廣告，或是看上去很好吃的食物的圖片，那我就會(huì)想去買(mǎi)回來(lái)，我上個(gè)月這樣做了得有兩三次，我看到食品廣告后，就會(huì)去買(mǎi)回來(lái)。

Todd: Oh, really. Like what did you buy?

托德：哦，真的嗎?那你買(mǎi)了什么?

Melissa: One was hot Hotto-Motto. It was like a kind of fast food chain and they were selling a fried chicken on rice that looked really good, and the other was a McDonald's Cinnamon Role.

梅莉莎：好麥道。那是家快餐連鎖店，它們?cè)谫u(mài)炸雞蓋飯，看上去非常好吃，我還買(mǎi)了麥當(dāng)勞的Cinnamon Role。

Todd: And you saw it and you're like, I gotta have it.

托德：你看到以后喜歡，就會(huì)去買(mǎi)。

Melissa: Yeah, and like one weird thing happened. I just saw a red and yellow sign and it reminded me of Wendy's and then I was craving a chocolate milkshake ...frosty ... so I went somewhere else and bought it.

梅莉莎：對(duì)，而且還發(fā)生了一件不可思議的事。我看到一個(gè)紅色和黃色的標(biāo)志，那讓我想起了溫迪快餐，然后我就想來(lái)杯冰冰的巧克力奶昔，所以我就去買(mǎi)了。

Todd: And you got it?

托德：你買(mǎi)了?

Melissa: Yeah.

梅莉莎：對(duì)。

Todd: Oh, Ok.

托德：哦，好。
