A So what do you think of my new dress?

那你觉得我的新衣服怎么样？

B I think it’s great! I really like the color, and it goes really well with your eyes. I’ve actually been eyeing that dress at Maxine’s for a while now, but I wasn’t sure I could afford ninety-five dollars for a dress at the moment.

我认为非常好！我很喜欢这个颜色，和你的眼睛很相配。我已经注意麦克辛服装店的那件衣服一段时间了，但当时我不敢肯定我能付得起95美元买件衣服。

A Um, ninety-five dollars?

什么，95美元？

B Yes, that’s the price they were advertising it at. I was hoping it might go on sale soon. Why, how much did you pay for it?

是的，那是他们做广告宣传的价格。我在希望它不久就会降价。怎么啦，这件你花了多少钱？

A I bought it for one hundred and forty-five dollars at Helen’s Boutique. I didn’t know I could get it cheaper somewhere else.

在海伦时装店我花了145美元买这件。我不知道在其它地方买可以便宜一点。

B Of course! Everything at Helen’s is overpriced, and they sell things that you can find at almost every other clothing store! Why didn’t you shop around?

当然！海伦时装店的每件东西都定价过高，而且他们所售的东西差不多在任何一家其他服装店都能找到！你为什么不逛逛其它服装店呢？

A I don’t know, I just saw the dress and thought about how pretty it looks and how much I wanted it. I guess I was too impulsive.

我不知道，我只是一看见这件衣服，就觉得非常漂亮，并且非常想买。我想我是太冲动了。
