身临其境练一练

Notting Hill,《诺丁山》

A:We've got a security camera in this bit of the shop.

甲:我们店里有台监视摄影机。

B:So?

乙:所以呢？

A:So, I saw you put that book down your trousers.

甲:所以，我看到你把书放进你的裤子了。

B:What book?

乙:什么书？

A:The one down your trousers.

甲:就是你裤子里的那本。

B:I haven't got a book down my trousers.

乙:我裤子里没有书。

A:Right, well, then we have something of an impasse. I tell you what, I'll call the police, and what can I say? If I'm wrong about the whole book-down-the-trousers scenario, I really apologize.

甲:这样看来，我们陷入僵局了。告诉你，我要叫警察，知道我会说什么吗？如果我弄借裤子里藏书的事，我会道歉。

B:Okay, what if I did have a book down my trousers?

乙:那好，要是我裤子里确实有书呢？

A:Well, ideally, when I went back to the desk, you'd remove the Cadogan Guide to Bali from your trousers, and either wipe it and put it back, or buy it. See you in a sec. Sorry about that...

甲:那么，最理想的状况是，当我回到柜台的时候，你已把《巴里岛旅游指南》从裤子柚出来，擦一擦，并将它放回去，或者你可以把它买下来。我们待会见。对于刚刚那个我很抱歉…

B:No, that's fine. I was going to steal one myself but now I，ve changed my mind. Signed by the author, I see.

乙:不，没关系。我本来是要偷一本的，但现在改变主意了。噢，还有作者签名呢。

生活口语

This pair of glasses fit you very well. Its design is also in fashion.

这幅眼镜跟你非常相称，而且它的设计也很时尚。

I'll take it.

我就买这个了。

重点讲解:

I'll buy it.

I'll take it.

单词buy和take都有“购买、买下”的意思，不过buy强调购买物品的内容，而take则强调买下这个事实，因此老外在口语中要表达“我就买这个了”的时 候，使用的是I'll take it.而不是I'll buy it.
