生活口语

A: Good afternoon, is there anything I can do for you?
A：下午好，有什么能为您效劳的吗?
B: I'm looking for a pair of boots.
B：我想买一双靴子

A: Hello, I'm looking for a pair of boots.
A：您好，我想买一双靴子。
B: What about this brown pair? It's new style and I can give you 20% off now.
B：这双棕色的怎么样？是新款，现在买我还可以绐你打八折。
重点讲解：
I want to buy a pair of boots.
I'm looking for a pair of boots.
去商场购物，我们需要告知售货员自己想要购买的东西以便对方进行介绍，用I want to buy sth. 来表达固然没错，但老外更为常用的说法是 I' m looking for sth.需要注意的是，在这里不能将这句话直译为"我在找某样东西"，它表达的是"我想买某物"。
