May: I need some new clothes for the coming season. Where shall I go to pick up some?
Gucci: I’m thinking of buying some stuff, too. Let’s go to the speciality stores. There will be some new models for sale now.
May: Will the new models be very expensive?
Gucci: Depends on the brands. But there will be some out-of-season clothes on discount, too. So maybe we can also get some stuff, good and cheap.
May: Great. Let’s go.
(They step into a speciality store.)
Gucci: Do you like this one? I think it will be great on you.
May: I like the style. Especially the Porsche logo. Let me try it on in the fitting room. Wait a minute!
Gucci: Take your time.
(May stands in front of the mirror, wearing the new dress.)
Gucci: Hmm, not bad, but I’m afraid it’s a bit too big for you.
May: Yeah, that’s the only problem. Well, do you think they’ve got a smaller one?
Gucci: Probably not. Most of the clothes here have only one average size.
May: Never mind. What about going to check out the discount section?
Gucci: That’s what I’m thinking about.
(They come to the discount section.)
Gucci: Oh, this one.
May: What’s up?
Gucci: This dress was a new model this time last year. I loved it but it was a bit too expensive. So I gave it up.
May: Good for you. It’s 50% off now. Take it!
Gucci: Sure. I won’t miss this chance. It’s my lucky day.

阿美: 我需要為下個季節買一些新衣服。我該去哪里買呢?
古奇: 我也在考慮買一些衣服呢。我們去專賣店吧。現在那里該有新款上市了。
阿美: 新款會不會很貴啊?
古奇: 看牌子的。但也會有一些過季的衣服打折。也許我們能淘到一些又好又便宜的東西呢。
阿美: 真好。我們走吧。
(她們走進了一家專賣店。)
古奇: 你喜歡這件嗎?我覺得你穿上它一定很好看。
阿美: 我喜歡它的款式。尤其是那個保時捷的商標。我去試衣間試穿看看。等我一下。
古奇: 你慢慢來，不著急。
(阿美穿著新衣服站在鏡子前。)
古奇: 嗯，還不錯，但是我怕你穿有點太肥了。
阿美: 就是，這是唯一的問題。不過，你說他們會有小一點的嗎?
古奇: 恐怕沒有。這里大部分的衣服都是均碼的。
阿美: 沒關系。要不我們去打折區看看。
古奇: 我也正想這事呢。
(她們來到了打折區。)
古奇: 哦，這件衣服!
阿美: 怎么了?
古奇: 這件女裝去年的這個時候是新款。我特別喜歡，可是當時好貴，所以我沒有買它。
阿美: 真為你高興啊。現在它打五折呢。買了吧!
古奇: 當然。我可不能再錯過這個機會了。今天是我的幸運日哦。
