實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Price Range for Clothes 衣服的價格范圍(1)

Todd: Okay, so I'm here with Jen and we're talking about clothing. Now, Jen, I'm a bit older than you, so I probably don't really care about what I wear so much. I always kind of pay the same price for my clothing. So I'm wondering, what's it like for a younger person? How much are you willing to pay? What is your price range?

托德：我和珍要來談?wù)勔路?。珍，我的年齡比你大一些，我可能不太在乎穿什么。我的衣服都是花同樣的價錢買的。我想知道年輕人是什么情況?你愿意花多少錢買衣服?你能接受的價格范圍是多少?

Jen: It depends upon like what you're buying. For example, if it's a pair of jeans then I would pay around 4,000 yen, that's Japanese yen. $40?

珍：這要取決于買什么衣服。舉例來說，如果是牛仔褲，那4000日元左右我可以接受。大概40美元?

Todd: Oh really? That's still relatively cheap. Like some people pay like $100, right? Or $200.

托德：哦，真的嗎?那相當(dāng)便宜了。有些人愿意花100美元，對吧?或者200美元。

Jen: I don't think I would ever pay that much because I'm a student right now, so paying more than that would be something I wouldn't do.

珍：我認為我不會花那么多錢，因為我現(xiàn)在還是學(xué)生，我不會花超過40美元的價格買牛仔褲，我接受不了。

Todd: Well what about in your home country of Nepal? How much would people pay for pants there?

托德：嗯，那你的祖國尼泊爾呢?尼泊爾人會花多少錢買褲子?

Jen: In Nepal, like compared to Japan, it's really cheap there. You can actually get a really decent pant in 1,500 yen.

珍：和日本相比，尼泊爾的商品價格非常便宜。1500日元就能買一條相當(dāng)不錯的褲子。

Todd: That's like $15.

托德：大概15美元。

Jen: Yes.

珍：對。

Todd: Around. Oh that's good. What's the cheapest you would pay? I mean, I guess you could get stuff for free, but what's the lowest you pay for clothes? Or for pants? For pants?

托德：15美元左右。哦，那真不錯。你買的最便宜的衣服多少錢?我猜你可能能得到免費商品，不過你買的最便宜的衣服是多少錢?或者說褲子，最便宜的褲子花了多少錢?

Jen: Okay, so sometimes when there's a sale and especially if there's shorts then you can just get it for like 500 yen.

珍：好，有時有折扣，尤其是短褲非常便宜，500日元就能買一條短褲。

Todd: Oh wow. Five bucks.

托德：哇哦。那大概是5美元。

Jen: Like five bucks, yeah.

珍：5美元左右，對。

Todd: That's good. Now what about shoes? Do you have a lot of shoes?

托德：不錯。那鞋呢?你的鞋多嗎?

Jen: Yes I do.

珍：很多。

Todd: Okay, for some people like shoes they spend a lot of money on shoes. I have a rule, unless it's dress shoes for work, I don't like to spend anything over $100. If it's athletic shoes, like sneakers, never more than $50. Ever.

托德：好，有些人很喜歡鞋子，他們會花很多錢買鞋。我有個原則，除非是上班要穿的鞋，否則我不會花超過100美元買鞋。如果是運動鞋，那從來沒有超過50美元。從來沒有。

Jen: Okay.

珍：好。

Todd: Like how much do you on average pay for shoes?

托德：你平均花多少錢買鞋?

Jen: I think it's different for girls, because our shoes range from $10 to, you know, a lot of money.

珍：我想女孩的情況不太一樣，因為我們買的鞋價格可能最低只有10美元，但也可能會很貴。

Todd: What's the most you've ever paid for a pair of shoes?

托德：你最貴的一雙鞋多少錢?

Jen: $100.

珍：100美元。

Todd: Oh really? That's not too bad.

托德：真的嗎?那不算太貴。

Jen: Yeah, it's not bad at all.

珍：對，一點兒也不貴。

Todd: Yeah, no, that's good. Kind of good range. How about the cheapest? Five bucks?

托德：對，不貴。算是合理的價格。那最便宜的鞋呢?5美元嗎?

Jen: Not five bucks, maybe 10 bucks, yeah.

珍：不是5美元，可能10美元吧。

Todd: 10 bucks, yeah. All right. I don't even know if I could find shoes for five dollars. They'd fall apart, right?

托德：10美元。好。我甚至不知道能不能找到5美元的鞋。那么便宜的鞋會裂開的，是吧?

Jen: You can, though.

珍：可以買到。

Todd: Oh yeah?

托德：是嗎?

Jen: Yeah. On sale you can even get it in like three bucks.

珍：對，打折時甚至3美元就能買到一雙鞋。
