圣誕節(jié)快到了，應(yīng)該挑選什么禮物送給媽媽

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論挑選禮物，
 
圣誕節(jié)快到了，應(yīng)該挑選什么禮物送給媽媽
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: Bill, Bill, you gotta help me.
 
比爾，比爾，你一定要幫幫我。
 
B: What's wrong? Slow down or you're gonna give yourself a heart attack.
 
怎么啦？慢點(diǎn)兒說(shuō)，你這樣心臟會(huì)受不了的。
 
A: Tomorrow is Christmas, and I haven't bought my mom anything. I'm such a bad son.
 
明天就是圣誕節(jié)了，我還沒(méi)給我媽媽買(mǎi)禮物，我真是個(gè)不孝子。
 
B: Take it easy. Let's go to the mall window-shop a little and see if there is anything she might like.
 
不要緊張，我們?nèi)ド虉?chǎng)就看看，先不買(mǎi)?？匆幌掠袥](méi)有她喜歡的東西。
 
A: That's just it. I don't know what to get her. Last year, I got her a rain that was two sizes too big and a pair of shoes five sizes too small. I suck at getting presents for people.
 
就這就是問(wèn)題所在。我不知道給她買(mǎi)什么。去年我給她買(mǎi)了一個(gè)戒指和一雙鞋子，結(jié)果戒指大了兩碼，鞋子小了五碼。我真是不會(huì)買(mǎi)禮物。
 
B: That's where you're making a big mistake, you can't just guess people's likes or sizes, especially with clothes or jewelry. On top of that, I think that you should get your mom something that shows how much you love her. At the same time, you should show her that you took the time and effort to look for something that she would really like.
 
你大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)了。你不能只想著別人的喜好或者尺碼，尤其是衣服和珠寶。除了那些以外，我覺(jué)得你應(yīng)該給你媽媽買(mǎi)一些能夠表達(dá)你對(duì)她愛(ài)的東西。同時(shí)，你還應(yīng)該讓她知道，為了買(mǎi)這些她真正喜歡的東西，你花了很多時(shí)間和精力。
 
A: Yeah, you're right. When it comes down to it, I can be pretty tacky.
 
是的，你說(shuō)的對(duì)。其實(shí)歸根結(jié)底就是我很俗氣。
 
B: Yeah, tell me about it. I know your mom is trying to learn spanish, right? Why don't you get her a gift certificate for this great website I saw called Spanishpod?
 
可不是嘛！我了解到你媽媽最近想學(xué)西班牙語(yǔ)是嗎？我看到有一個(gè)網(wǎng)站叫Spanish pod，為什么不在那個(gè)網(wǎng)站上給她制作一張證書(shū)作為禮物呢？
 
A: Now that's a great idea.
 
真是個(gè)好主意。
