Kevin準備在女友生日的時候跟她出去浪漫約會，為此，他特意到商場，打算買身兒精神的衣服。

Professor: Winnie, I think Kevin must be a very good boyfriend. It's nice of him to buy a new suit for his girlfriend's birthday.

Oh come on, Professor Bowman, 如果他真是個好男友，就該把錢花在女朋友身上，而不是給自己買新衣服！

Professor: Well, that's true. Let's listen and we will see who is right!

Salesperson: Hello sir, can I help you find something?

Kevin: Yes, I'm looking for a new suit.

Salesperson: What is your size?

Kevin: I usually wear a size 42.

Salesperson: Alright, I'll show you the rack where we have our size 42 suits.

Professor: So Winnie, did you hear what size suit Kevin usually wears?

他一般穿42號的西裝。對了，Professor Bowman, rack是貨架的意思么？

Professor: That's right. If you can't find something you want "on the rack," you can ask someone at the store if they have it "in the back."

這么說，那些"on the rack"的衣服是擺在店面的貨架上，讓顧客挑選，而"in the back"就是那些放在后面庫房里的衣服。

Salesperson: Do you see anything you like?

Kevin: Hmm ... I really like this black suit.

Salesperson: Yes, you would look great in that suit. Do you want to try it on?

Kevin: Sure. Where are your dressing rooms?

Salesperson: The dressing rooms are downstairs. I'll show you where they are.

Kevin看上了一套黑色的西裝，打算try it on，試穿看看。

Professor: Exactly. When you find something you like at a store, you can always tell the store employee, "I want to try this on."

這位店員很會說話，她說Kevin "would look great in that suit"，就是說他穿上那套西裝一定很帥。

Professor: Exactly. You can also look good in a color. For example, you can say "you always look great in blue."

就是說藍顏色很適合你。Kevin試穿效果如何？我們繼續(xù)聽。

Kevin: Oh, this is a really great suit! It's totally my style. What do you think?

Salesperson: Uh ... I think that suit is too tight, sir. You need one size larger.

Kevin: No way! I love it. Really tight suits are the European style.

Salesperson: Well alright ... but if you rip it when you sit down, you can't return it.

Hmm ... Kevin的品味好象有問題。店員明明告訴他西裝太緊，應(yīng)該換大一號，可他卻堅持要緊身的，還說這是歐洲流行的風格。

Professor: Right. Kevin says the suit "is totally my style." You can say something is "my style" if you think you really look good in it.

看來，Kevin覺得很滿意！不過店員說，如果因為衣服太緊，一坐下就撕了的話，人家可不給退。

Professor: Well, let's find out how much the suit costs.

Kevin: So, how much is this suit?

Salesperson: That one is $1,000.

Kevin: $1,000? Umm ... do you think it will go on sale anytime soon?

Salesperson: No. We only sell that suit for the full price.

Kevin: Well, it's very expensive. But I'm willing to sacrifice for my girlfriend so that I look really great on our date!

啊？我沒聽錯吧？Kevin說，他豁出去了，花1000塊買這套西裝，就算是為女友做的"sacrifice" - 犧牲！這么一來，他還有錢給女友買生日禮物嗎？

Professor: But that is her present: A really well-dressed boyfriend on their special date.

你不會是當真的吧？男人真會這樣想嗎？

Professor: Uh ... I won't try to answer that question. But Winnie, can you guess what it means when something is "on sale"?

這個難不住我！On sale就是打折，減價的意思?？上В琄evin買的這身兒衣服不打折，只按full price -原價出售。

Professor: Exactly. I'm afraid after buying this expensive suit, Kevin will have to buy something on sale for his girlfriend.

我猜也是。你看，Professor Bowman, 我說對了吧？Kevin根本不是合格的男友！對自己大方，對女友小氣，不知道他會給女友買個什么便宜的禮物。

Professor: Listen next time to find out!
