1. What do you usually buy when you go shopping?
1. 你购物的时候通常买什么？
I often shop for daily necessities, such as toothbrushes,toothpaste,cleansing cream, soap, shampoo, washing powder, etc. And since I like music (books),I sometimes go to bookstores to look for my favorite CDs (the recent bestsellers).
我经常买日用品，比如牙刷、牙膏、清洁膏、肥皂、洗发水以及洗衣粉等。自从我喜欢音乐(书籍)开始，我有时会去书店寻找我最喜欢的CD(最新畅销的）。
2. What is your first priority when you go shopping?
2. 你购物的时候首要考虑的是什么？
When I shop for electronic appliances,I pay much attention to their quality because I don't want to pay high prices for low-quality appliances. But when I shop for clothes,I think color is the most important thing. A color that matches the color of your skin will certainly brighten your face and make you look prettier.
当我买电器的时候，我很注重质量，因为我不想花很多的钱买质量差的电器。买衣服的时候，我认为颜色是最重要的。一个和你的肤色相配的颜色肯定会使你的脸更明亮，让你看起来更漂亮。
3. When do you usually go shopping?
3. 你通常什么时候去购物？
Generally speaking,I usually go shopping during the weekend. As I have to hit the books from Monday to Friday for five days in a row,there is no way for me to go shopping during the weekdays. But it really depends. It depends on whether there is any special offer or end of the season sale or mid-season sale going on or not. So when it comes to the time when there is any discount in shopping mails,I will be shopping like a mall rat.
一般来说，我通常都在周末去购物。因为我从周一到周五整整五天都要读书，这就意味着我绝不会上课时间去购物的。但这也要看情况，通常取决于是否有特别的邀请或者季末、季中打折。所以当商场有任何折扣活动的时候，我就成了个购物狂了。
4. Do you like going shopping?
4. 你喜欢购物吗？
I am not a big fan of it. Actually,going shopping is the very last thing I want to do! Moreover,I don't have enough money to spend on those fashionable clothes.
噢，我并不是很喜欢。实际上，去购物是我最不想做的事了。此外，我也没有足够的钱花在那些时装上。
5. Do men or women go shopping more?
5. 谁更喜欢 购物，女人还是男人？
Women are definitely the demographic who are more likely to go shopping. It is one of the fields where women have the advantage. They are always popping into big department stores, shopping malls, street stalls and boutiques to shop like a mall rat. Especially when it comes to end-of-season sales or final clearance, they will shop until they drop! But it would turn out to be a totally different picture when it comes to men. Men like to stay at home or wait for their wives in the car when their wives are shopping. Even if it comes to the time they shop, they usually go to the store and grab the thing they need and leave right away.
谈到这个问题，从统计数字来看，女人显然更喜欢逛街。这是女人专属的一个领域。她们总是像购物狂一样地出现在一些百货公司、购物商场、街头店和时尚小店里。尤其是到了季末折扣或者最后清仓的时候，她们会一直采购到手都拿不下为止！但对于男人来说，就完全是另一种情形。当妻子在逛街的时候，男人通常都趋向于待在家里或者是在小车上等着妻子。即便是逛街，也通常都会走进商场买了他们需要的物品后就马上离开了。
