校园英语口语情景对话

A: Do you carry black ink?

B: The ink should be next to the paper clips and thumb tacks in the stationary section, sir.

A: I've looked, but I didn't see any black ink.

B: Then I'm afraid there's none in stock.

A: Well, I'll settle for blue-black. I'll also take a dozen airmail envelopes.

B: They come in packages of ten or twenty.

A: Give me a package of twenty, then. And where do I find shoelaces?

B: On counter three.

A: Thank you. I never can find my way around this store.

B: I know. It took me three weeks, and I work here.

Notes

Dime store 一角商店(美国出售低价小商品的百货店)

In stock 有货

Settle for-be satisfied with

Take 买

Find my way around 找得到应去的地方

A：你们有黑墨水卖吗?

B：墨水应该在文具部的回形针和图钉旁边，先生。

A：我看过了，但没找到黑墨水。

B：那我想是缺货了。

A：嗯，那要蓝黑的也可以。我还要一打航空信封。

B：信封分成十只一扎或二十只一扎出售。

A：那就给我二十只一扎的。还有我去哪儿可以找到鞋带。

B：在第三号柜台。

A：谢谢，我在这家商店里总是搞不清商品的部位。

B：我知道。我在这儿工作，花了三个星期才熟悉。

A: Every time I go to the grocery, the clerk asks me if I save stamps. I always say no, but sometimes I get them anyway.

B: Oh, never turn them down. You can always find someone who'll take them. People spend hours pasting them in little books, and when a book is full, they drive miles to a redemption center where the stamps can be traded for things like pillow cases, or playing cards, or garden tools. But you have to save millions of them to get anything worth having.

Notes

Stamp 美国一些商店或超级市场送给顾客的(如邮票大小的)赠券。积到一定数量后可以换取实物礼品

Clerk 售货员

Turn them down-refuse them

Redemption center 用赠券换取礼品的商店

Trade-exchange

A：每次我去杂货店，店员都问我是否收集赠券，我总是说“不”，不过有的时候我还是积下些赠券。

B：啊，别丢掉它。你总会找到回收赠券的人。有些人花时间把赠券粘贴在小本子上，当一本贴满后，开几英里的车到回收中心去，在那儿可以用赠券交换像枕头套、扑克牌或修整花园的工具等东西。不过你得收集相当多张才能换回一些有重要价值的东西。

A: There's the mixer I was telling you about. It's not so expensive. Just twenty dollars on sale.

B: Right now that's twenty dollars too much. Let's walk down the street and look at the prints in the bookstore window. I heard they had some nice reproductions on display.

A: Okay, but before we buy any more pictures, let's get the ones we have framed.

B: Who said anything about buying pictures? We're just window shopping. It doesn't cost anything to look.

Notes

Mixer 电动食品搅拌器

Prints 图片

Windows shopping 浏览窗口

A：这就是我曾对你说过的食品搅拌器。它并不太贵。大减价时只售二十美元。

B：眼下二十美元还是太贵了。我们还是沿街往前走，去看一看书店橱窗里的图片。我听说他们展出了一些精致漂亮的艺术画片。

A：好的，但在我们购买新的图片之前，先把我们现有的图片装在玻璃框里。

B：谁说过要买图片来着?我们只浏览橱窗，看一看并不用花钱。

: Let's see. That's two pairs of slacks. One lady's skirt, and one man's gaberdine overcoat.

B: And this sport shirt, too. All cleaned and pressed. When'll they be reaby?

A: Is next Thursday soon enough?

B: Well. Yes. But that topcoat?

A: We have a special rapid service at an extra charge.

B: Perhaps, I'd better, but just for the coat. When'd it be ready?

A: Tomorrow afternoon, anytime after four-thirty.

B: How late are you open?

A: Until six-thirty, sir.

B: Fine. That leaves me plenty of time to pick it up after work.

A: Here's your slip, sir. Any time after four-thirty.

B: Good. Thank you.

Notes

Slacks 长裤

Gabardine 轧别丁，华达呢

A：下星期四来得及吗?

B：好，可以。但这件大衣呢?

A：我们有专门的快洗服务，需另加费。

B：看来我最好用快洗，不过只是这件大衣。什么时候可取?

A：明天下午，四点半以后。

B：你们营业到几点?

A：到六点半，先生。

B：好极了。这使我有足够的时间在下班后来取。

A：先生，这是您的取件单。四点半以后来。

B：好，谢谢。
