情景对话

Todd: OK, Shona, let's talk about shopping. What are things you don't like to go shopping for?
托德：夏娜，我们来谈谈购物吧Ha];+m))XAoI。你在购物时不喜欢买什么？
Shona: The two things I don't like shopping for are food and shoes. And food because I just find it incredibly boring and I just like to get in and out of the supermarket as quickly as possible and just get what I need because I find it really like scary and weird to like how there are just so many items, like, that I don't have a clue what they are and they're all like there on the shelf. They're so many of the same thing. I just find it really weird. And the lighting in supermarkets. It is just too bright for me, and I just — everyone's walking around like zombies with their trolleys and I just find it very weird.
夏娜：有两样东西是我在购物时不喜欢买的，一个是食物，另一个是鞋tlIGweQg7@[Y)R。我觉得买食物很无聊，我一般进超市以后迅速买完我需要的东西然后就出去，因为超市里卖的东西太多，我觉得那又可怕又奇怪，我都不知道货架上的是什么tENz~@]6FHr+F5c。而且有太多同样的东西d7=Y4XwjX9eF)k。 我觉得这很奇怪Z|3U@@!Y2j6X-uSb。还有超市里的灯，对我来说那个灯太亮了，我感觉推着车在超市里走的人都像僵尸一样，我觉得这很怪异s*H.dc&Z_3m(t。
Todd: Actually, it's funny you say that because I love shopping for food. In America, I love shopping for food because I can read the labels. In Japan, where we live now, it's not so fun because I can't read and it really drives me nuts, when I can't...
托德：你这么说感觉很有趣，因为我喜欢购买食物hWFfPBiDG)。在美国的时候我很喜欢去买食物，因为我可以看懂食品标签P620g&]wISP5r。可是现在我们在日本生活，现在对我来说买食物就不那么有趣了，因为我看不懂标签，这都快把我逼疯了……
Shona: Exactly. Exactly.
夏娜：没错，没错LZ0IZ3*T+!*2+*(VyF。
Todd: OK.
托德：对oRS6eDz7(p7A*-]Puj+=。
Shona: Shoes.
夏娜：鞋Ph+r;Mrelt-lHajHl。
Todd: Shoes.
托德：鞋vM+Zhh@S_8Ug。
Shona: Shoes I cannot shop for because I have like quite big feet. I've got like a size eight, which is like a forty. I think it is a forty-one. I think it's quite big for a girl, and I always see like really pretty shoes I really want, but they just don't fit my big feet, so it's like a big disappointment.
夏娜：我不喜欢买鞋的原因是，我的脚非常大l[+v.QI]i~。我穿8号鞋，这边的鞋号是40pWRYgSciyfTX]r_2n)Zf。我想可能是41-ISfnm=7L6c,o。我觉得对女孩来说，我的脚太大了，我经常看到漂亮的鞋子可是我穿不了，这真的让我非常失望-.!_Ef+4*l0&L。
Todd: Actually, you know it's funny you mentioned about the shoe size because, you know, if the United Nations does anything, they should make a universal shoe size.
托德：其实，你提到鞋号这很有趣，因为如果联合国要做些事的话，那他们就应该统一鞋码&rwSJf&uzEg。
Shona: Yeah, and like dress sizes as well. It's like really confusing.
夏娜：对，还有衣服尺码pat*L6kdx.!X=!6Q([P。这真的让人很困惑.RAtxjF|If(,=QU^4Zy@。
Todd: Like, everytime you buy shoes, it will say, " UK 12, USA 10, International 6" or whatever and it's always really confusing.
托德：每次买鞋的时候都要说，英国12码，美国10码，国际鞋码是6号之类的，这真的让人很混乱XC7s+H)oe04meclf。
Shona: I know exactly.
夏娜：我完全清楚这种感觉y4RJRww9_)4EqFUcPs8。
Todd: OK, so you don't like food. You don't like shoes. Anything else you don't like to shop for?
托德：好，你不喜欢买食物IqILO;FTB~..=WU3y#。你不喜欢买鞋%z,)V.AGa|。你还有不喜欢买的东西吗？

Todd: Oh, I love that.

Shona: Especially male. I'm not being like sexist, but for me shopping for technical stuff is just so boring and it confuses me on end.
夏娜：一般男性都会喜欢l.Yf3!z8,&。我并不是性别歧视，不过对我来说，买技术类产品非常无聊，而且最后我会很混乱_[NQ*&^g,Yr2!-6Yvl。
Todd: Actually, that's probably what I like to shop for the most. I think it's fun.
托德：这可能是我最喜欢买的东西CH-AY@iGjCN。我觉得有很多乐趣gMm-SnZKscoYK@。
Shona: I can tell, actually. No, I just, I hardly ever need to get anything that's like too technical. If I do, like, I'll just ask someone else's advice because I just don't have a clue.
夏娜：我能看出来=%aAbs@fXK。我几乎不需要太先进的产品~rJ94LqnwYnY2_R|Io,a。如果我需要，我会询问别人的意见，因为我完全不懂pXM_84I.aQP*#=。

Shona: Yeah, but these things have both been bought for me. I didn't buy them myself.
夏娜：有，不过这些东西都是别人给我买的lcOL*HN_8LLbu。不是我自己买的@*B-i%nVVmCJIS0。
Todd: Ah.
托德：啊Jel((;A#xgOCM!。
Shona: Yeah, so that's why. A hair dryer, like I don't mind buying something like that but anything technical and it's just I'm not going to enjoy shopping for it.
夏娜：所以这就是原因h|4W^hcKzQF。我可以买像吹风机这样的东西，但是我不喜欢买任何技术类产品Jm.rdQeHAN。
