今天的這段對話,在討論買東西,
你算是購物狂嗎?你會買那些你不需要的東西嗎
來聽今天的講解:
A: So, Melissa, this week we're talking about buying things. Now, in terms of shopping, are you one those people that are like a shop-a-holic? You buy things you don't need?
梅莉莎,這周我們來聊聊買東西。在購物方面,你算是購物狂嗎?你會買那些你不需要的東西嗎?
B: Yes, but recently I've been trying to veer away from that habit.
會,不過最近我正在努力改變這個習慣。
A: So, what influences you most to buy something? Is it like commercials or is just impulse?
在買東西時,什么對你的影響最大?是廣告還是一時的沖動?
B: I think it's kind of just having the money and feeling like I deserve it.
我想應該是這樣,如果我有錢,那我覺得那東西就應該是我的。
A: So, it's a reward?
就像獎勵一樣?
B: Yeah, it's always a reward for something.
對,一種獎賞。
A: Well, how about ... how persuaded are you to buy something by commercials or advertising or things like that?
那廣告之類的宣傳對你買東西的影響有多大?
B: Defintely food commercials persuade me to buy it. Like I'll see a food commercial or even a picture of deliciously looking food and I'll want to have it, so I have two or three concrete examples over just the past month where I saw an ad for food and I went and bought it.
我看到食品廣告后絕對會去買回來。如果我看到食品廣告,或是看上去很好吃的食物的圖片,那我就會想去買回來,我上個月這樣做了得有兩三次,我看到食品廣告后,就會去買回來。
A: Oh, really. Like what did you buy?
哦,真的嗎?那你買了什么?
B: One was hot Hotto-Motto. It was like a kind of fast food chain and they were selling a fried chicken on rice that looked really good, and the other was a McDonald's Cinnamon Role.
好麥道。那是家快餐連鎖店,它們在賣炸雞蓋飯,看上去非常好吃,我還買了麥當勞的Cinnamon Role。
A: And you saw it and you're like, I gotta have it.
你看到以后喜歡,就會去買。
B: Yeah, and like one weird thing happened. I just saw a red and yellow sign and it reminded me of Wendy's and then I was craving a chocolate milkshake ...frosty ... so I went somewhere else and bought it.
對,而且還發(fā)生了一件不可思議的事。我看到一個紅色和黃色的標志,那讓我想起了溫迪快餐,然后我就想來杯冰冰的巧克力奶昔,所以我就去買了。
A: And you got it?
你買了?
B: Yeah.
對。
A: Oh, Ok.
哦,好。
