魯斯：不客氣。你很喜歡時(shí)尚嗎?

Akane: Well, I do like to buy stuff now and then.

茜：嗯，我有時(shí)很喜歡買東西。

Ruth: Yeah, and was that the last thing you bought?

魯斯：好，那這條裙子是你上一次買的東西嗎?

Akane: Ah, I'd say so, yes.

茜：嗯，我想是的。

Ruth: So do you spend quite a lot of money on clothes?

魯斯：那你會(huì)在衣服上花很多錢嗎?

Akane: Ah, no, I like to look for bargains.

茜：不會(huì)，我會(huì)喜歡找便宜的東西。

Ruth: Oh, good plan.

魯斯：哦，好辦法。

Akane: Yeah.

茜：是啊。

Ruth: And was that skirt a bargain?

魯斯：那這條裙子便宜嗎?

Akane: Oh, yes it was.

茜：很便宜。

Ruth: How much was it?

魯斯：多少錢?

Akane: It was actually only 1,300 yen. (Wow) Yeah. That's about 13 Canadian dollars.

魯斯：那真便宜。太棒了。

Akane: Yeah, it was.

茜：沒錯(cuò)。

Ruth: So how often do you go shopping?

魯斯：你多久去購物一次?

Akane: Um, not too often, maybe about once a month.

茜：嗯，不是很頻繁，大概一個(gè)月一次。

Ruth: Once a month. For clothes?

魯斯：一個(gè)月一次，買衣服嗎?

Akane: Um, yeah, just to browse around, look around. Um, I might not always buy something, but once in awhile I do.

茜：對(duì)，就是隨便逛逛。我可能不是總會(huì)買東西，只是偶爾會(huì)買。

Ruth: And where do you go?

魯斯：一般你會(huì)去哪里?

Akane: Well, I like to go to the local market, and things like that, cause I think that's the best place to find bargains.

茜：我喜歡去當(dāng)?shù)厥袌?chǎng)或類似的地方，因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為那里是最適合找便宜東西的地方。

Ruth: Do you normally try clothes on before you buy them?

魯斯：你在買衣服之前會(huì)先試穿嗎?

Akane: I do. I prefer to try them on before I buy them. It's not always possible though.

茜：會(huì)的。我在買之前要先試一下。不過有時(shí)并不能試穿。

Ruth: So if you buy something at a market, so you try it on first?

魯斯：如果你在市場(chǎng)買東西，你會(huì)先試穿嗎?

Akane: Well, yes I would ask the person if I can try it on. If they say no, then I would try to see if it fits or not right on top of my clothes and make a good guess.

茜：對(duì)，我會(huì)問售貨員我是否可以試穿。如果他們說可以，那我會(huì)穿上試試，看看是否適合我，好好看一下。

Ruth: Do you ever buy clothes which are second hand, which other people have already worn?

魯斯：你買過二手衣服嗎，就是那些別人穿過的衣服?

Akane: I used to be really into vintage clothes when I was younger. Yes, there's a huge area in Toronto where I'm from where there are many shops with vintage clothes, and I used to go there all the time.

茜：我年輕的時(shí)候非常喜歡舊衣服。我來自多倫多的一個(gè)大地區(qū)，那里有許多出售舊衣服的商店，我以前經(jīng)常去那里。

Ruth: Wow. So there kind of dated clothes are they?

魯斯：哇。那里賣的是舊衣服嗎?

Akane: Yes, they are. They are second hand clothes. They're used and they're very cheap and very fashionable.

茜：對(duì)，沒錯(cuò)。是那些二手衣服，已經(jīng)穿過的衣服，這些衣服既便宜又時(shí)尚。

Ruth: Oh, that sounds fantastic.

魯斯：哦，聽起來真棒。

Akane: Yeah, it is.

茜：是啊。

Ruth: Does anybody else ever buy you clothes? Do your parents buy you clothes sometimes?

魯斯：有其他人送過你衣服嗎?你父母會(huì)給你衣服嗎?

Akane: Um, I suppose they used to when I was younger, but not anymore, because you know, I like to choose my own things.

茜：我小的時(shí)候他們經(jīng)常給我買衣服，但是現(xiàn)在不再給我買了，因?yàn)槟阒牢蚁矚g自己挑選衣服。

Ruth: Of course, yeah.

魯斯：當(dāng)然了。

Akane: But once in awhile I might go shopping with my mother, and if there's something I like she might buy it for me if it's a special occasion.

茜：不過我有時(shí)會(huì)和我媽媽一起去購物，如果有我喜歡的東西，又是特殊場(chǎng)合，她會(huì)買給我的。

Ruth: Oh, that's generous.

魯斯：哦，真是大方。
