胃食品，


第二章 逛街购物

Doris, Helen Mall is having a big sale this weekend. You wanna go?
Don’t feel like it. I’m broke.
Well, we can still do some window shopping, can’t we?
Just look around? Nah, that’s boring.
I’ll go by myself then.
2、 购买家具 buy furniture
Hi, can I help you?
No, thanks. I’m just looking.
All right, if you need any help, just let me know. My name is greg.
Sure. I’ll let you know if I need anything. (a king-size mattress attracts Kate,) hm, this mattress is
very firm. Jack will probably like it.
Did you find something you like?

Yes, this mattress is very good. It’s pretty firm. The mattress I’m now sleeping on is saggy.
You’re right. This is very good brand. It doesn’t sag easily. And we offer a life-time warranty, so
you don’t have to worry about its quality.
Does it come with a frame?
Unfortunately, it doesn’t. however, we can give you a ten percent discount on the frame. We also
offer a very good financing plan. There’s no payment, no interest until next june.
That’s an attractive plan. I’ll think about it.
Well, you’ve got to hurry. This mattress sells pretty well and this promotion ends tomorrow.

3、 购买服装 buy clothes
Hello, can I help you?
Well, I’m looking for some winter clothes for my fiancée.
Oh, it is the high time for your purchasing in our clothes shop. We are now having a preseason
sale on all our winter apparel.
Really? What’s that?
Everything for winter is 20% off.
I think my fiancée may favor the sweater in the shop window. Would you like to help me look for
any skirts that go with this sweater?
Sure. We have both skirts and trousers that would look well with the sweater. Look at this section.
I especially like this flowery skirt. My fiancée will look very elegant in this.
You have a good taste. It is very much in style this year.
But I don’t think the green one fits her complexion. Do you have any skirts in light color or tan?
Look on the rack to the right.
Oh yes, I’ll take this one. Can I pay by traveler’s check?
It’s ok.

4、 买鞋 buy shoes
May I help you?
Yes, do you have these shoes in size seven?
I’m not sure, if you can’t find them on the rack, they may be out of stock. But let me look in the
stockroom.
Thanks. I’d like to try on a pair if you have them.
I’ll be right back. ( after a while…..)
I’m sorry, lady. I didn’t find your size in this style in the stockroom. So would you like to try
something else?
No, thanks.

5、 砍价 bargain
Hi, are you being helped?
No, I’m not. I’m interested in some scarves.
All our scarves are in this section. What do you think of this one here? It’s made of silk.
Hm, it looks nice, but I’d like to have something warm for the winter.
Maybe you would like a heavy wool scarf, how about this one?
I think that’s what I want. How much is it?

It’s…. seventy-five dollars plus tax.
It’s a little expensive. Do you think it’s possible to get a discount?
Hm, since you like it so much. How about a 10 percent discount? That’s the best I can offer.
That’s good. Could you wrap it for me?
Sure, is there anything else I can get for you?
No, that should be it. Thank you.

6、 上当受骗 be ripped off
How much did you pay for the TV?

No, the things are too expensive there for me. I can’t afford it.
That is no problem at all. Isabel’s is having a clearance sale, and today is the last day. You don’t
want miss such a good chance, do you？
Really，that’s wonderful. Can you wait a second? I need to change.
All right, but hurry up. It takes you hours to change.
I will. Do you think we can still get something really nice and cheap? I mean, this is the last day.
I think so. They don’t sell shoddy clothes for one thing.
Should we ask Cindy to come along? She saw the evening gown made of silk last month that she
wanted to buy very much. She didn’t buy it of course. It would cost her three months’ salary.
She already bought that evening gown.
When?
Yesterday. She wore that gown last night, and showed it off to everybody at Mr. Mile’s party.
Oh? Isn’t that like her?
Hurry up, will you? We’ll have to go to the gas station first.
All right, all right. I’m ready now, let’s go.
8、 三包事宜 after-sales service
Did you find everything Ok today?
Yes, I did. By the way. In case there’s a flaw in this CD player, can I return it?
Yes, but you must return it within 30 days.
Is there a charge for that? I know other stores have a restocking fee.
There will be no charge at all, however, you must show us the receipt. ( the cashier is handing the
receipt over to john for him to sign.) could you sign it here, please?
Thank you.
All right. Keep your receipt. If something comes up, you can show it to us and we’ll give you a
refund.
