W: And would you like some things for the kitchen?

M: Yes, that's right. I thought if I could find out about kitchen things, they would be the best sorts of presents.
M：是的，对的。我觉得如果我能找出厨房用具的话，它们将会是最好的礼物。
W: Well, I suppose the first thing you need is a cooker. Do you want an electric one or a gas one?
W：好吧，我猜你需要的第一件东西是一个炉子。你想要电炉还是气炉？
M: Hm. I think I'd probably prefer a gas one. But cookers are very expensive, aren't they? How much is this one?
M：额。我觉得我可能更喜欢气炉。但是气炉都是很贵的，对吧？这一个多少钱？
W: It's 175 pounds, including tax and delivery. It's a very good one though.
W：175英镑，包括税和运费。不过它是非常好的一个。
M: But it's a lot of money, isn't it? What sorts of things could I ask people to buy? You know, cheaper.
M：但是这是一大笔钱，不是吗？我能让人买什么样的东西呢？你知道的，更便宜的。
W: Well, you need some pans, won't you? A set of saucepans, I suppose, and frying pans. Do you like cooking?
W：好吧，你需要一些平底锅，是吗？一套炖锅，我想，还有煎锅。你喜欢烹饪吗？
M: Yes, I suppose so.
M：是的，我想是这样。
W: Well, in that case, you might like a mixer. If you make cakes and things like that, it'll save you a lot of time. And a blender too. That's good if you make soup and things.
W：好的，这样的话，你也许会喜欢一个搅拌器。如果你要做蛋糕或者类似的东西，它会节省你很多时间。还有一个。如果你要做汤之类的东西那挺好的。
M: Hm. That's a thought.
M：嗯。那是一种想法。
W: Something else you might use is a set of these knives, you know, carving knives, bread knives, steak knives, fruit knives, potato peeling knives.
W：另一些你可能会用的是一套这样的刀具，你知道，切肉刀，面包刀，扒刀、水果刀、土豆削皮刀。
