文本
A: it’s such a nice day outside. Let’s take a walk into town and do some window-shopping.
C: you know I hate shopping more than anything else in this world.
A: I know. But we could get some exercise in, and we could get some errands run, too. Window-shopping won’t cost you anything.
C: what kind of errands do we need to run?
A: well, we could go to the newsagent’s to pick up the Sunday paper, go to the butcher’s to pick up a chicken for a roast dinner, and to the chemist’s to pick up your prescription from the doctor.
C: I’ll only go if we can stop at the office-license to pick up something to drink for tonight.
A: fine, we’ll do that on the way home, so we don’t have to carry it the whole time.
C: sounds good. You have to promise not go into any of the stores in the mall though. I know how you like to try things on in the fitting rooms, especially if the stores have special offers.
A: I promise. We’re only going for a walk to get some exercise and to get some things done that we haven’t had time for.
C: ok, let’s go then!
A: do you have any money?
C: for what?
A: for our errands, and maybe a little extra for something from a vendor on the street.
C: you said you were only going to window shop!
A: I agreed to not go into the mall, but I can still look at things in the market!
C: I should have known…
参考翻译
今天外面天气不错。咱们走到镇上去逛逛街吧？
你知道的，我最讨厌逛街了。
我知道。可是我们还能锻炼身体呢，而且还有点任务。逛逛街又不会花费你什么。
咱们有什么事情要办？
嗯，咱们得去报摊买一份周日的报纸，去肉铺买点晚餐烧烤用的鸡肉，还得去药房取医生给你开的处方。
如果能去酒店买几瓶今晚喝的东西，我才会去。
好吧，咱们回来的路上去买，这样我们就不用一路上都提着它们了。
听起来不错。但是你得答应我不进购物中心的任何一间店。我可知道你有多喜欢到试衣间试衣服，特别是商店有打折的时候。
我答应你。我们就是出门走走当锻炼身体，然后再把那几间平常没时间办的事情办好。
好吧，现在出发。
你身上有钱吗？
干什么用的？
办那几件事用啊。而且还可能额外需要一点儿在街上自动售货机买东西用。
你说过你只逛不买的！
我答应不进购物中心，可是我还要去市场逛逛。
我早该想到的…
