Clerk : May I help you , ma'am?
Anna: Yes, thank you. I'd like to buy a blouse.
Clerk : What colour are you looking for?
Anna: I need something to go with a brown skirt.
Clerk : Here's a pretty green one.
Anna: But it has long sleeves. I'd like a short-sleeved blouse with
a high neck , if you have one.
Clerk : We have this one in yellow. What size do you take?
Anna: Thirty-four. Do you have that one in my size ?
Clerk : Yes, here it is.
Anna: How much is it ?
Clerk : It costs 8 pounds.
Anna: Oh , my. That's too expensive for me. Do you have anything
like it for less?
Clerk : I'm afraid not.
Anna: Well , I think I'll look around some more. But I may come
back for this one. Thank you.
Clerk : You are welcome.
讲解:
1.这段对话发生在商店的服装部。当看到顾客时,店员一般都会主动地迎上
去,热情地为顾客提供讲解和服务。他们首先会说,May I help you?或者 What
can I do for you?对话中的 ma'am是对女士的礼貌称呼。
2. blouse 是宽松的上衣,似衬衫的上衣。I need something to go with
a brown skirt.我想买一件上衣配我的棕色裙子。go with ,在这里是" 与……
搭配,与……相配" 的意思。
3.当我们向别人询问穿多大码的衣服或鞋子时,可以说 What size do you
take?当顾客得知那件上衣要8 英镑时,觉得太贵了。于是她说 Do you have anything
like it for less?你们有没有像这种样式但便宜一点的?表示用多少钱买某样
东西时用介词"for" ,比如,I bought my new car for $20 ,000.
4.最后,这位顾客决定再到其它地方看看,look around some more 是口语
中简便的说法,我们可以理解为look around for some more blouses.虽然顾客
没有买商品,但店员仍应礼貌地对她的光临表示感谢,并说You are welcome.
Dialogue Script 对话原文
Lisa: Excuse me, I'd like to return this shirt.
Clerk : What's the problem with it ?
Lisa: It's too small.
Clerk : Didn't you try it on before you bought it?
Lisa: As a matter of fact, I received it as a gift.
Clerk : Then you are sure it came from our store ?
Lisa: Yes, I am pretty sure. Don't you sell this item ?
Clerk : Yes, we do. I'm afraid we don't give a refund , but we
can give you a credit towards another purchase in our store.
Lisa: No refunds ? Well , in that case , I'll accept the credit.
讲解:
1.这段对话的内容是一位顾客在商店要求退货时的情景。尽管这位顾客确定
衬衫是在那家店里买的,但店员表示,商店的商品一经售出,概不退款。因此,
最后顾客只能接受商店开出的有价凭证在该店买一样其它的商品。
2.这段对话的语言比较简单。refund是" 退款,偿还" 的意思,即可做名词,
也可做动词,因此,表示对话中的意思,我们也可以说,I'm afraid we can't
refund your purchase price. 另外,对话中的credit是商店为顾客开出的有价
凭证。
3.在购物时,遇到麻烦不会表达就会麻烦加麻烦。比如," 这个搅拌器不好
用,能给我换一下吗?" 如果说成"This blender doesn't work. Can you change?
" 就不对,因为"change"这个词后面应该跟一个宾语。所以,正确的说法是,
"This blender doesn't work. Can you change it ?" 或者"Can I exchange
this blender for another one?" 不能说"Can I change for another one ?
".再比如" 这种电热毯的保修期有多长?""保修期" 英文是"warranty period"
这句话应该说"How long is the warranty period of these electric blankets
?"而不能说成"How long is the warranty period of this electric blanket
?". 在这里,"these" 代表一类商品,而不能用"this"将该物品同其它同类商品
分开。
4.当我们表示大、小号服装时,L 代表"large" ,S 表示"small" ,不过大
家要注意,中号不能用"middle-size" ,应该说"medium-size".例如," 我想要
一件中号衬衫。" 就是"I'd like a medium-size blouse."另外," 这条围巾我
买下了,你以帮我包装一下吗?" 的正确说法是"I'll take this scarf. Can you
wrap it up for me ?" 而不要说,"I'll take this scarf. Can you pack it
for me?" 因为"pack"一词通常用在旅行前收拾行礼的时候。
