购物英语情景对话 中英对照

　　相信每到周末很多人都会去商场大购物，你知道购物必备的一些英语对话吗，今天我们就来学习一下关于购物的英语，看看如何用英语和店员沟通。

　　Clerk: May I help you, ma'am?

　　Anna: Yes, thank you. I'd like to buy a blouse.

　　Clerk: What colour are you looking for?

　　Anna: I need something to go with a brown skirt.

　　Clerk: Here's a pretty green one.

　　Anna: But it has long sleeves. I'd like a short-sleeved blouse with a high neck, if you have one.

　　Clerk: We have this one in yellow. What size do you take?

　　Anna: Thirty-four. Do you have that one in my size?

　　Clerk: Yes, here it is.

　　Anna: How much is it?

　　Clerk: It costs 8 pounds.

　　Anna: Oh, my. That's too expensive for me. Do you have anything like it for less?

　　Clerk: I'm afraid not.

　　Anna: Well, I think I'll look around some more. But I may come back for this one. Thank you.

　　Clerk: You are welcome.

　　讲解：

　　1. 这段对话发生在商店的服装部。当看到顾客时，店员一般都会主动地迎上去，热情地为顾客提供讲解和服务。他们首先会说，May I help you? 或者 What can I do for you? 对话中的 ma'am 是对女士的礼貌称呼。

　　2. blouse是宽松的上衣，似衬衫的上衣。I need something to go with a brown skirt. 我想买一件上衣配我的棕色裙子。go with，在这里是"与...搭配，与...相配"的意思。

　　3. 当我们向别人询问穿多大码的衣服或鞋子时，可以说 What size do you take? 当顾客得知那件上衣要8英镑时，觉得太贵了。于是她说 Do you have anything like it for less? 你们有没有像这种样式但便宜一点的?表示用多少钱买某样东西时用介词"for"，比如，I bought my new car for $20,000.

　　4. 最后，这位顾客决定再到其它地方看看，look around some more是口语中简便的说法，我们可以理解为look around for some more blouses. 虽然顾客没有买商品，但店员仍应礼貌地对她的光临表示感谢，并说You are welcome.
