穿、购物
ELIZA: This place is great. I'm surprised they have so much.
JANE: Yes, but it takes a while to find things.
It's not organized as carefully as a regular store.
ELIZA: I never shopped in an outlet before. We don't have any in my hometo wn.
Why do they call it an "outlet"?
JANE: Sometimes a clothes company makes too many of one item.
They can't sell it all in their regular stores. So they send the overstock to an outlet.
That's why they call it an "outlet".
It's a store that "let's out" products the company can't sell in regular stores. ELIZA: And they have faulty products here too.
JANE: Yes. A "faulty product" may be a shirt that has some problem. Or a pair of pants that is ripped a little.
Sometimes the fault is very small. So it's a good deal to buy it.
Sometimes, if you have a needle and thread, you can fix it yourself.
ELIZA: I like to sew, so that's easy for me.
I think it's a really good deal. Some of these shirts have only one tiny mistak e on them.
JANE: I know.
So it's a good idea to shop in an outlet sometimes. You can save a lot of mo ney.
ELIZA: That's great for me.
Now that Steve and I have the baby, we want to save as much as we can. CASHIER: Cash or credit, Ma'am?
ELIZA: Credit.
JANE: Wow! How many of those sweatshirts are you buying?
ELIZA: I have six here.
JANE: Six? Why do you need so many?
ELIZA: They're such a good deal.
I'm buying one for Steve, one for his brother Rick,
one for my dad, two for my sisters, and one for me.
JANE: You really know how to use an outlet store!
ELIZA: I ought to make the most of it while I'm here, don't you think? JANE: Sure. You're smart.
伊莉莎：这地方好棒哦！我很惊讶这里有这么多的东西。
珍：是啊，但找东西需要一点时间就是了。
这里不像一般的店那样井然有序。
伊莉莎：我从来没有逛过出清大卖场。我们家乡没有这样的大卖场。
为什么叫做" 大卖场" 呢？
珍：有时候成衣公司生产过量。
不能在各店销完，只好把存货送到大卖场来。
所以叫做" 出清" 。
就是商家把各店没卖出去的货清出去。
伊莉莎：这里也有瑕疪品。
珍：是的，" 瑕疵品" 可能是一件有缺陷的衬衫。
或是一条有破洞的裤子。
有时候瑕疪很小，所以很值得买的。
如果你有针线，可以买回家再做修补。
伊莉莎：我喜欢缝衣服，这难不倒我。
我觉得是蛮值得的，这里的一些衬衫只是有一点小瑕疪。
珍：我知道。
有时候在大卖场购物是一个好主意，你可以省很多钱。
伊莉莎：对我来说，实在是太棒了。
现在史提夫和我有小孩，我们要尽量省钱。
收银员：太太，付现金或刷卡？
伊莉莎：刷卡。
珍：哇，你买多少件汗衫呢？
伊莉莎：六件。
珍：六件？为什么你需要这么多呢？
伊莉莎：它们很便宜。
一件给史提夫，一件给他的弟弟瑞克。
一件给我爸爸，两件给我妹妹，还有一件是我的。
珍：你真的很会逛大卖场！
伊莉莎：我当然要好好把握机会，不是吗？
珍：当然，你真聪明。

乔伊：但是我们需要给你买几件衬衫，你需要夏天穿的衬衫。
路易：我宁愿在别的地方买。
乔伊：为什么？这里什么都有。
路易：我不喜欢在购物中心买东西。
我喜欢逛街购物，比较有选择性。
乔伊：看看他们有什么就好。
路易：好。
乔伊：那些衬衫如何？有看到你喜欢的吗？
路易：样式都不怎么样，我说过我喜欢逛街购物。
乔伊：哦，别这样酸溜溜，这些衬衫都蛮漂亮的。
如果我们今天不买的话，你不会自己来买的。
路易：我会的。
乔伊：看，这件衬衫，试试看。
路易：有大号的吗？

乔伊：更衣室在那里。
好吧，我试穿看看。
乔伊：看起来不错哦。
路易：我看起来像傻瓜一样。
乔伊：不会，很好看的。
你为什么每次逛街都这样呢？很好看啊。
路易：我认为这种款式不适合我。
乔伊：我们就买这件吧，我要你也试试这一件。
路易：好吧，好吧。
乔伊：我帮你打扮你应该感到高兴。
如果让你自已逛，你一定不会买任何东西。
路易：也许吧。但我还是喜欢逛街购物，有比较多的东西可看。
对不起，我就是不喜欢购物中心。
住
购物英语口语:找房子 Looking For A New House
IVAN: I think this spring is a good time for us to start looking.
TANYA: We should plan to move out of here before July.
I'm tired of living in apartments.
IVAN: I know, dear. I am too. But we've just been too busy to look for a ho use.
TANYA: We need to find a good realtor.
IVAN: Not necessarily. If we use a realtor to find a house, it will be more e xpensive.
TANYA: What do you mean?
IVAN: Realtors always get a commission.
If the realtor helps us find something, we have to pay him.
TANYA: But doesn't a realtor help with the contract?
I thought they take care of all the legal troubles.
IVAN: Yes, that's often true. But you have to pay them.
TANYA: I still think we should have a realtor.
We're new in this country. We don't know all the laws of buying a house. And also, the realtor will inspect the house.
He can tell us if the house has any problems.
IVAN: Of course we need a home inspector.
But we can hire an inspector on our own.
And as for the legal problems, I have friends. They can help us.
TANYA: So how can we find a house if we don't have a realtor?
IVAN: It takes a little more time. We have to check the ads in the paper. Probably also there are special real estate magazines with ads.
Then we have to drive to the homes and look at them.
TANYA: And doesn't the person selling the house have a realtor?
IVAN: Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
It's best to find someone who is selling by themselves.
TANYA: Why?
IVAN: Because if the seller has a realtor, their price will be higher. He will have to pay a commission to the realtor.
TANYA: Hmm. It all sounds very complicated.
IVAN: It is. But buying a house is very important. So it takes time.
That's why we haven't done it yet. It's very troublesome.
TANYA: I want to look in the papers today. Maybe we can see something w e like.
IVAN: Alright. I'll buy a newspaper when I go to the drug store.
艾闻：今年春天开始找房子是不错的时机。
妲雅：我们应该计划在七月前搬走。
我已经厌倦住公寓了。
艾闻：亲爱的，我知道，我也是。但是我们一直没时间去找房子。 妲雅：我们需要找个房地产经纪人。
艾闻：不需要。如果我们委托经纪人找房子，会比较贵。
妲雅：怎么说呢？
艾闻：房地产经纪人都要抽佣金的。
如果经纪人帮我们找到房子，我们就要付他钱。
妲雅：不过经纪人也会帮忙合约的事啊？
他们会留意法律的问题。
艾闻：通常是如此，但是你要付他们钱。
妲雅：我认为应该要找经纪人。
我们才刚来这个国家，不知道买房子的法律。
而且经纪人也会检查房子。
他可以告诉我们房子有没有问题。
艾闻：当然我们需要房子检查员。
不过我们可以自己请检查员就好。
至于法律问题，我有朋友，他们可以帮忙。
妲雅：如果不找经纪人，我们要怎么找到房子呢？
艾闻：要花多一点时间。我们必须看看报纸上的广告。
或许特别的房地产杂志上也有广告。
然后我们必须开车去看房子。
妲雅：那么卖房子的人不会找经纪人吗？
艾闻：有些会，有些不会。
最好是找自己卖房子的人
妲雅：为什么？
艾闻：因为如果卖主找经纪人，房价就会比较高。
他必须付经纪人佣金。
妲雅：听起来挺复杂的。
艾闻：不过买房子很重要，所以要花时间。
那就是为什么我们还没开始，很麻烦的。
妲雅：我今天要看报纸，或许可以找到喜欢的。
艾闻：好，我去杂货店的时候会买份报纸。

对不起，我就是不喜欢购物中心。

购物英语口语:找房子 Looking For A New House
IVAN: I think this spring is a good time for us to start looking.
TANYA: We should plan to move out of here before July.
I'm tired of living in apartments.
IVAN: I know, dear. I am too. But we've just been too busy to look for a ho use.
TANYA: We need to find a good realtor.
IVAN: Not necessarily. If we use a realtor to find a house, it will be more e xpensive.
TANYA: What do you mean?
IVAN: Realtors always get a commission.
If the realtor helps us find something, we have to pay him.
TANYA: But doesn't a realtor help with the contract?
I thought they take care of all the legal troubles.
IVAN: Yes, that's often true. But you have to pay them.
TANYA: I still think we should have a realtor.
We're new in this country. We don't know all the laws of buying a house. And also, the realtor will inspect the house.
He can tell us if the house has any problems.
IVAN: Of course we need a home inspector.
But we can hire an inspector on our own.
And as for the legal problems, I have friends. They can help us.
TANYA: So how can we find a house if we don't have a realtor?
IVAN: It takes a little more time. We have to check the ads in the paper. Probably also there are special real estate magazines with ads.
Then we have to drive to the homes and look at them.
TANYA: And doesn't the person selling the house have a realtor?
IVAN: Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
It's best to find someone who is selling by themselves.
TANYA: Why?
IVAN: Because if the seller has a realtor, their price will be higher. He will have to pay a commission to the realtor.
TANYA: Hmm. It all sounds very complicated.
IVAN: It is. But buying a house is very important. So it takes time.
That's why we haven't done it yet. It's very troublesome.
TANYA: I want to look in the papers today. Maybe we can see something w e like.
IVAN: Alright. I'll buy a newspaper when I go to the drug store.
艾闻：今年春天开始找房子是不错的时机。
妲雅：我们应该计划在七月前搬走。
我已经厌倦住公寓了。
艾闻：亲爱的，我知道，我也是。但是我们一直没时间去找房子。 妲雅：我们需要找个房地产经纪人。
艾闻：不需要。如果我们委托经纪人找房子，会比较贵。
妲雅：怎么说呢？
艾闻：房地产经纪人都要抽佣金的。
如果经纪人帮我们找到房子，我们就要付他钱。
妲雅：不过经纪人也会帮忙合约的事啊？
他们会留意法律的问题。
艾闻：通常是如此，但是你要付他们钱。
妲雅：我认为应该要找经纪人。
我们才刚来这个国家，不知道买房子的法律。
而且经纪人也会检查房子。
他可以告诉我们房子有没有问题。
艾闻：当然我们需要房子检查员。
不过我们可以自己请检查员就好。
至于法律问题，我有朋友，他们可以帮忙。
妲雅：如果不找经纪人，我们要怎么找到房子呢？
艾闻：要花多一点时间。我们必须看看报纸上的广告。
或许特别的房地产杂志上也有广告。
然后我们必须开车去看房子。
妲雅：那么卖房子的人不会找经纪人吗？
艾闻：有些会，有些不会。
最好是找自己卖房子的人
妲雅：为什么？
艾闻：因为如果卖主找经纪人，房价就会比较高。
他必须付经纪人佣金。
妲雅：听起来挺复杂的。
艾闻：不过买房子很重要，所以要花时间。
那就是为什么我们还没开始，很麻烦的。
妲雅：我今天要看报纸，或许可以找到喜欢的。
艾闻：好，我去杂货店的时候会买份报纸。
