聽力原文及翻譯
the girl made no answer, but took down another roll of cloth. "That's the right color," said she. "Yes," I answered, "but it is striped." "Stripes are worn more than anything else in calicos," said she. "Yes, but this isn't to be worn," I said. "It's for a piece of furniture, I think. At any rate, I want perfectly plain material to go with something already in use." "Well, I don't think you can find it perfectly plain, unless you get Turkey red," she said.
姑娘沒有回答,又取下一卷布?!斑@顏色不錯(cuò),”她說?!笆堑模蔽一卮鹫f,“但它是有條紋的?!彼f:“在印花布中,條紋比其他任何東西都穿得多。”“是的,但這是不能穿的,”我說。“我想是買家具用的吧。無論如何,我想要非常普通的材料來搭配已經(jīng)在使用的東西。”“嗯,我不認(rèn)為你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它很普通,除非你得到火雞紅,”她說。
"What is Turkey red?" I asked. "Turkey red is perfectly plain in calicos," she answered. "Well, let me see some." "We haven't any Turkey red calico left," she said, "but we have some very nice plain calicos in other colors." "I don't want any other color. I want cloth to go with this." "It's hard to find low cost calico like that," she said, and so I left her. I next went into a store a few doors up the street. I gave a salesman my sample and asked, "Have you any calico like this?" "Yes, sir," said he, "third counter to the right."
“什么是土耳其紅?”我問。“土耳其紅在印花布上很普通,”她回答說?!昂冒?,讓我看看。”“我們沒有土耳其紅印花布了,”她說,“但我們有一些非常漂亮的其他顏色的普通印花布?!薄拔也幌胍?jiǎng)e的顏色。我想要布料來搭配。”“很難找到這么便宜的棉布,”她說,于是我離開了她。接下來,我走進(jìn)了街對(duì)面幾扇門外的一家商店。我把樣品拿給售貨員,問道:“你們有這樣的印花布嗎?”“是的,先生,”他說,“右邊第三個(gè)柜臺(tái)。”
I went to the third counter to the right. A man there looked at my sample on both sides, then he said, "We haven't any of this." "I was told you had," said I. "We had it, but we're out of it now. You'll get that from an upholsterer, someone who recovers furniture."
