Assistant: There are many art craft items in this shop. I suggest you take your time, and you might find something you like.

Benjamin: That's what I am going to do.

Assistant: If you have any problem, please come to me.

Benjamin: I surely will. How much is this wood carving?

Assistant: You are an expert on it. That wood carving is very rare. But I'm so sorry; that is not for sell.

Benjamin: That's OK. Is anything else recommended?

Assistant: Do you have any special request?

Benjamin: I'd like to see some traditional arts.

Assistant: So that means you are shopping for presents?

Benjamin: Yes, I'm just here to pick out some special presents for my foreign friends.

Assistant: Actually, I think the paper-cuts is OK, because it is easy to carry and foreign friends are also interested in it. They think that is a miracle.

Benjamin: Sounds good. I'll take paper-cut.

Assistant: I have collected different kinds of paper-cuts all over the country; you can pick the one you like best.

Benjamin: You collect them yourself? I think that you are just doing the wholesale.

Assistant: As a matter of fact, I open the shop because I'm interested in the arts. I spent lots of time doing research on the folk art of our country.

Benjamin: Wow, you are the expert on it.

听看学

店员：本店有很多工艺品，我建议您慢慢看，也许会看到喜欢的东西。

本杰明：我正想慢慢看呢。

店员：如果您有任何问题就请问我。

本杰明：我会的。这个木雕多少钱？

店员：您真是个行家。那个木雕非常珍贵。但是非常抱歉，它是非卖品。

本杰明：没关系。有其他可以推荐的吗？

店员：您有什么特殊的要求吗？

本杰明：我想看一些比较传统的艺术品。

店员：您的意思是您在挑选送人的礼物？

本杰明：是的。我就是想在这儿挑选一些可以送给外国朋友的礼物。

店员：事实上，我觉得剪纸就不错，因为剪纸便于携带，而且外国朋友对此也非常感兴趣。他们认为剪纸非常奇妙。

本杰明：听起来不错。我就买剪纸。

店员：我收集了全国不同的剪纸。您可以挑选您最喜欢的。

本杰明：是你自己收集的吗？我还以为你只做批发生意。

店员：事实上，我开这个店完全是出于对工艺品的兴趣。我花了很多时间研究我们国家的民间艺术。

本杰明：哇，你才是真正的行家呢。
