Now there are a lot of shopping centres in the UK, and we went to the Canary Wharf Shopping Complex in East London to talk to some of the shoppers about what they like or dislike about shopping centres.

bunx+7yUV95q2ShNXeMv

现在英国有很多购物中心,我们去了伦敦东部的金丝雀码头购物中心,和一些购物者谈论了他们喜欢或不喜欢购物中心的地方w^NQd3Q1+55Xd_

@rybIG4#F;-

One man compares the experiences of shopping centres with shopping at boutiques on a local high street.

ks%q!E3)Js[hKE=Y7q&

一名男子将他在购物中心购物的经历与当地商业街精品店购物的经历进行了比较5cBW54TLDq&m-

Sl1g@5.n2-dln;M5CO-

The high street is the main shopping street in a town or area; in America they call it 'main street'.

;%jIpenvE0

high street是城镇或地区的主要购物街; 在美国,人们称之为“main street”Pp^A+CO=0P(eUM

cvltdptBqnOM

And a boutique is a small shop, which usually specialises in fashionable items.

MfP5%K7!vppUEM7.

精品店是一种小型商店,通常专门经营时尚商品N)wZr9%v@w(9i

qb9LFl](Whcr%X+.t

So let's listen to the speaker as he compares shopping in a local high street and a shopping centre; what does he say is the advantage of going to a big shopping centre?

%+5Lot].(E6*hv.p;EL(

我们来听一下发言者是如何比较在当地的商业街和购物中心购物的; 他说去大型购物中心的好处是什么?

o7FP]jJ]MHVGL

I love the choice in a big shopping centre; I don't think it replaces localised shopping so a nice boutique in a local high street I think always has a place.

^=e%#S)R[lQfi

我喜欢在大型购物中心的各种选择;我不认为它取代了当地的购物,所以我觉得当地商业街上的精品店总有一席之地4S~tEhm|^i6

~8D6d,U5hk=

But that said if you want a good deal, a good discount, a good sale I think you need to go to a big shopping centre really.

!Rqt-bp9|0!^~R7w&p

不过话说回来,如果你想买到物美价廉的商品,我认为你应该去大型购物中心8jbTLYJ;E[6ol(

Nw1SJ.tOgNK2vhr

So the shopper there said he liked the choice of a big shopping centre.

bD5kAe2l=TsrGR)04)

那里的购物者说他喜欢选择一个大的购物中心0;+l1M2t7iQ35)9F|

M(bh6Z!7b.y[a_=vs0

It's the place to go if you want a good deal, a good discount or a good sale.

O56|wMNmVQbEj1

如果你想买便宜货、打折或大甩卖的商品,那就去这个地方QQ_vf))7=er%)

A7vidGhLxsEsX*Ca

A discount is a reduced price–it's when something costs less than normal.

Hgy-@2gESs,]sOs

折扣是指降低的价格——指某物的价格低于正常水平!#W@vYbB|@E2RMG

1LMH#e-cSn)GZ1

A good deal means the same–it's when you buy something for a good price.

nhwh.xxE6ZC;98qH8]0O

划算的意思是一样的——意思是你以一个好价格买到了东西+dk&IAVxGRL*BBpi

nJ*|&WCLXA(-&7-kD

We have a clip here from another shopper describing shopping centres in the UK.

qj]or,O)7G,Uhm

我们这里有另一位购物者描述英国购物中心的片段31P~c8X=LYNd

5j7!VSFcHz.N

She says they're quite vast and open and have a massive variety of shops.

k8@KqT)SSDHY1G

她说,那里很大,很开放,有各种各样的商店h8yC-|_Puyn|

i#Tm3~5XyJ[=.)

Both vast and massive mean very large.

t0QcU;^JQD4di5UR

广阔和大规模都表示非常大ZxL;SO,ovbv9

DrJF8OjFd0Bd.

So there's a massive variety of shops in the shopping centres.

G0RT%OEuk,

所以购物中心里有各种各样的商店;*Vb9_jHudE

ygC0(ZMfo9m_r@

So let's listen to the clip.

BjjBj~L[Av

让我们来听一下这段录音#(V7^;^jJ#]d@

-ZZ+eeaQn,v)dU,

What types of restaurant can you find in British shopping centres?

NpiT!B+iVU#Maf

在英国的购物中心你能找到哪种类型的餐厅?

6=*,029~o8

Shopping centres are usually quite vast and open and full of a massive variety of shops but they're quite standard.

ek&cVzC+0kv

购物中心通常很大,很开放,到处都是各种各样的商店,但它们很普通J-LR3JFXVNP-

C7XmS*CZ+x

So each shopping centre tends to have exactly the same basic shops that you come to expect.

]GO1n+8z8slk4UX;

因此,每个购物中心往往都有相同的、符合期望的基本商店19Po]D.,p;%

;t&AzJW9xe(qMBi06i

You sort of tend to get the same standard restaurants and food outlets as well in shopping centres, so either fast food or slightly more upmarket restaurants.

,q^7S7rW!5UL24

你可能会在购物中心看到同样标准的餐厅和食品店,要么是快餐店,要么是更高档的餐厅GOzUxPjsh]u!x8C

CD|eLutAU|]_6;

She says you get the same standard restaurants in a British shopping centre: either fast food or more upmarket restaurants.

B|Bm4asu&az

她说,在英国的购物中心,你可以找到相同的普通餐厅:要么是快餐店,要么是更高档的餐厅XxcYF!3xl2

VBK9+569PzC7ay;

Fast food is what we call anything that can be served and eaten quickly, often from restaurant chains, such as McDonalds, Burger King or Subway.

D=e-]Pg=~J

快餐是我们所说的任何可以快速供应和食用的东西,通常来自麦当劳、汉堡王或赛百味等连锁餐厅K.h9F&IgjeALws

NTYavfVD9ZJhv

And what about the upmarket restaurants?

TB08zcKurEm;VhXlHq=l

那高档餐厅呢?

qBb%K]t!msAXBH

Upmarket means something of high quality that generally appeals to people from higher social classes.

O8H=M%_o2PJ

高档指的是高质量的东西,通常吸引的是社会阶层较高的人dZ4Q~!5_FKTH;=JuFILO

|F^w^mIQ*z.OWs6z

The opposite is downmarket.

MMyU0tn+mL=_bE(Qpl

与之相反的是低端市场ydlRrVjY4f

M%9zk95|A0vkW;T

Of course, not everyone likes shopping centres.

84V1pn|hyA66~r

当然,不是每个人都喜欢购物中心@jIJ1NBFdb4b7NFLc8g

tbR@vZ*rg;XBUVa

Some people say they find them too crowded.

@d@#D6ZUEg~

有些人说他们觉得太拥挤了FtCdVdwzhMr1

;89qiZ0OF|=W-TdO

Mm, crowded, when there are too many people.

oVdCE;=KWP5+wO

嗯,拥挤,就是人太多的时候[J^D1rQcu!i,n%au1r[

DXhWDqq,nmVh=(&qdID

I agree, particularly at weekends or during the holidays when there are lots of people, a lot of these shopping centres are far too crowded to shop, or walk, or even move!

3AKNdgS8Mn,71f#D

我同意,特别是在周末或节假日,当有很多人的时候,很多购物中心都太拥挤了,无法购物,无法走路,甚至无法移动!

0C#wd2s3*Sfvc^y

Rob, we're almost at the end of the programme, so let's go back to today's question.

1JUiIuqMY5N

而在短短几个月后,一个新的韦斯特菲尔德购物中心将在伦敦东部奥运场馆旁边开业,可能会吸引更多的游客xl=f-TcB0*

UdNCGuPe&Ibl

So the Brits clearly love to shop, even in these tough economic times.
