英語播客初級(jí)版 第279期(外教講解):買首飾
Shop assistant:Good afternoon, sir, is there anything I can help you with today?
Mark:umm... yeah!I’m looking for a nice gift to give my girlfriend. Our fifth anniversary’s next Friday.
Shop assistant: Well, I would be happy to assist you in choosing the perfect gift for her. Is there anything particular that you have in mind?
Mark:No, not really... I’m completely at a loss.
Shop assistant:Well, you can give her a set of pearl earrings, or this beautiful heart-shaped pendant. What is her favorite gemstone?
Mark:That purple one.I’m sorry...I’ve never bought jewelery for anyone and I’m kind of nervous.
Shop assistant:Don’t worry, we specialize in providing our customers a relaxed, pressure-free shopping environment. That stone is an amethyst. We have a range of beautiful amethyst pieces. Take a look at this bracelet. It’s 18K rose-gold, studded with amethyst and blue topaz. It’s a great statement piece.
Mark:Oh...wow. That’s really pretty.Jess would love that. But... I was thinking of something a little more delicate, perhaps a necklace?
Shop assistant:We have this beautiful platinum pendant, or you could also get her a locket. You could also get her a timepiece—it’s both glamorous yet functional.If you tell me a little more about your girlfriend, maybe I can help you find something for her.
Mark:Jess? Well, she’s very smart,and has a great sense of humor. She’s very feminine...
Shop assistant:Perhaps you could give her a ring?
Mark:Well...actually...I was thinking about asking Jess to marry me...I’ve just been so nervous.
Shop assistant:Well sir, I believe your fifth anniversary is a great time to propose!

Shop assistant: 下午好，先生，你想買什么?
Mark: 我正為女友朋友選擇一件漂亮的禮物。下周五是我們?cè)谝黄?周年的日子。
Shop assistant: 我很高興能幫助你為她選件漂亮的禮物。你想到什么特殊的禮物了嗎?
Mark: 沒有，我完全不知道選什么。
Shop assistant: 你可以為她買一對(duì)珍珠耳環(huán)，或是這種漂亮的心形耳墜。她最喜歡什么寶石?
Mark: 紫色的寶石，我從未給別人買過首飾，我有點(diǎn)緊張。
Shop assistant: 別擔(dān)心，我們致力于給顧客提供一種放松的，沒有壓力的購(gòu)物環(huán)境。那塊寶石是紫水晶。我們有很多漂亮的水晶。看看這個(gè)手鐲，是18K 玫瑰金的，鑲有水晶和藍(lán)水晶。那是表達(dá)愛意的好禮物。
Mark: 哇!真的很漂亮。Jess一定會(huì)喜歡的，但我想買點(diǎn)更復(fù)雜的東西，項(xiàng)鏈如何?
Shop assistant: 有漂亮的白金耳墜，也可以給她買個(gè)小金盒。或是買塊表——表既漂亮又實(shí)用，如果你能告訴我一些你女朋友的信息，也許我能幫你為她挑選件禮物。
Mark: 她很聰明，也很幽默，她是女的……
Shop assistant: 也許你可以給她買個(gè)戒指?
Mark: 事實(shí)上，我正考慮向她求婚，我太緊張了。
Shop assistant:我覺得相遇5周年正是求婚的好日子。
Mark: 我已經(jīng)決定了。我會(huì)向她求婚。
Shop assistant: 真棒!我們應(yīng)該看下訂婚戒指?，F(xiàn)在進(jìn)入了一個(gè)新階段。
