時差N小時:買鞋子

Mike: I like the look of that pair over there. What doyou think?

麥克：我喜歡那邊的那雙鞋。你覺得它怎么樣?

Amanda: The leather pair? Good choice. Leathershoes allow your feet to breathe, so they won't get allsweaty and smelly.

阿曼達(dá)：皮質(zhì)的那雙嗎?挺不錯。皮質(zhì)的鞋子可以讓你的腳自由呼吸，這樣話，你的腳就不會出汗，也不會發(fā)臭。

Mike: They even have special insoles to support thearches of my feet. That's going to make a bigdifference when I go jogging. Perhaps I won't getcramps so much now.

麥克：這雙鞋還有特制的鞋墊來支撐我的足弓。這對我慢跑時很有好處——也許不會像現(xiàn)在這樣經(jīng)常抽筋。

Amanda: If you wanted, you could buy the same pair without laces. I'm not a big fan of Velcrostraps though. I think they look ugly.

阿曼達(dá)：如果你看中了，你可以買雙和這雙一樣但沒有鞋帶的鞋。我不喜歡尼龍搭扣那樣的款式，我覺得它們太丑陋了。

Mike: Yeah. Me too. Well, I'm going to try them on to see how they feel.

麥克：嗯。我也不喜歡那樣的。好了，我要去試一下，看看感覺如何。

Amanda: Don't forget to make sure they don't pinch anywhere, or you'll soon be limping alongwith horrible blisters.

阿曼達(dá)：記住，千萬不能卡腳， 不然你的腳就會起泡，走起路來一瘸一拐。

Mike: They're a bit tight. Could you get me a shoehorn? Oh, and one more thing, could you askhow much they are going to cost me?

麥克：有點緊。幫忙給我找個鞋拔。對了，還有一件事，你能幫我問一下這雙鞋多少錢嗎?

Amanda: Do you have a price in mind?

阿曼達(dá)：你心里就沒個底兒嗎?

Mike: Err ... I was thinking of spending about NT$4,000.

麥克：哦……我的預(yù)算大約是新臺幣4,000元。

Amanda: Wow! You must have struck it rich overnight. How about a less extravagant pair,so you have enough left over to take me out to dinner!

阿曼達(dá)：嘩!你是不是一夜暴富了?能不能買雙便宜點的，剩下的錢請我吃飯!
