Looking for a pair of shoes
Sue: Hey,Joe,what are you doing in this store?
Joe: Hi,Sue,I'm just looking for a pair of boots .I won't be here for long.
Sue: Why not?When I go shoe shopping,I have so many options for sneakers that I spend a while looking at all of the choices.
Joe: That's my problem.I don't have a lot of options.
Sue: What do you mean?This is a big store,isn't it?
Joe: Yes,but I have unusually big size .That wouldn't be a problem except that they're also very wide,and only a few brands sell boots that I can fit into.
Sue: So how do you usually go about buying boots,then?
Joe: Well,first of all,I can only go to certain stores that can guarantee a large selection.
Sue: Well,you're in the right store.If they don't have it,no one will.
Joe: After that I choose something from one of the few brands that I know will fit me.I prefer white,so I ask them to bring me a pair of white sneakers in my size.Since I'm usually only given one or two pairs of shoes that meet my requirements,that makes it a very easy choice.
找雙合適的鞋
蘇: 嗨,喬,你在這家百貨公司干什么?
喬: 嗨,蘇,我只是想買雙鞋。我不會(huì)在這里呆很久。
蘇: 為什么不呢?當(dāng)我去鞋店買運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋時(shí),我有很多選擇,所以我要花很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間看這些鞋。
喬: 那正是我的問(wèn)題。我沒(méi)有很多選擇余地。
蘇: 你什么意思?這個(gè)商店很大,不是嗎?
喬: 是,但我的腳也特別大。本來(lái)也不會(huì)有太大問(wèn)題,但是我腳又特別寬,所以只有幾個(gè)牌子有我能穿的鞋。
蘇: 那么,你通常怎么買鞋?
喬: 唔,首先,我只能去那些能保證有很多挑選的鞋店。
蘇: 那你來(lái)對(duì)了。如果他們沒(méi)有你穿的鞋,其他鞋店也不會(huì)有了。
喬: 然后,從我知道的幾種適合我穿的牌子中挑選一種。我比較喜歡白色,因此我要售貨員按照我的尺寸拿給我一雙白色運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋。因?yàn)橥ǔV粫?huì)有一兩雙符合我的尺寸,因此挑選起來(lái)就非常容易。
