实战口语情景对话：Jeans 牛仔裤(2)

Todd: Before musicians like you said used to wear ripped jeans. Jeans with big holes or rips in them.

托德：你之前说过，以前的音乐人喜欢穿破洞牛仔裤。就是那种有破洞的牛仔裤。

Mariel: Oh, yeah, that was in the 80's.

玛丽埃尔：对，那是上世纪80年代的事了。

Todd: OK, maybe that was my generation. So that's not popular anymore?

托德：那可能是我的年代。那现在破洞牛仔裤不再流行了吗?

Mariel: Some people like to wear ripped jeans, yeah, still, but mainly the rips are quite neat, so they're usually ripped a little bit around the pockets or around the cuffs, you know the bottoms, Yeah

玛丽埃尔：现在也还有人喜欢穿破洞牛仔裤，不过大部分破洞很整齐，一般破洞的位置在裤兜和裤脚附近。

Todd: OK, yeah. That sounds like designer jeans. Maybe then like.... are they specifically made just for that style?

托德：好。听起来像设计师品牌的牛仔裤。也许……那是刻意做出这种样式的吗?

Mariel: Well, yeah. Actually, quite often the jeans you buy in the store are already ripped or already worn so they look like they're old but they are brand new.

玛丽埃尔：对。实际上，你在商场里买的破洞牛仔裤都会做旧，看起来像旧的，但其实是新的。

Todd: But designer jeans can be really expensive, right?

托德：但是设计师品牌的牛仔裤非常贵，对吧?

Mariel: Oh, they can be very expensive but people are willing to pay the money because they're designer jeans. They're cool.

玛丽埃尔：是很贵，但是人们愿意花钱买，因为那些是设计师品牌的牛仔裤，非常酷。

Todd: Well, how much do you pay for jeans?

托德：你一般会花多少钱买牛仔裤?

Mariel: I can pay up to 120 Euros for jeans.

玛丽埃尔：我最多可以花120欧元买牛仔裤。

Todd: A hundred and twenty Euros.

托德：120欧元。

Mariel: Yeah.

玛丽埃尔：对。

Todd: That's a lot of money.

托德：那是一大笔钱啊。

Mariel: It's a lot of money, yeah, especially because I'm a student but I'm willing to put the money into it if the jeans fit very well.

玛丽埃尔：的确是很多钱，尤其我还是个学生，不过如果合身的话，我愿意在牛仔裤上花钱。

Todd: Just, lastly about jeans, these days there's many different colors. You have the light blue jeans, or the darker blue jeans. Which colors do you like to wear?

托德：最后一个有关牛仔裤的问题，最近的牛仔裤有很多颜色。有浅蓝色牛仔裤，深蓝色牛仔裤。你喜欢穿哪种颜色的牛仔裤?

Mariel: That depends on the time of the year actually. In the summer I like to wear light blue jeans and then in the winter I sometimes wear black jeans or really dark blue jeans.

玛丽埃尔：这要取决于时节。夏天我喜欢穿浅蓝色牛仔裤，冬天我会穿黑色或深蓝色牛仔裤。

Todd: Oh, that's interesting. So you change the color by season?

托德：哦，有意思。你是根据季节更换颜色吗?

Mariel: Yeah, generally I think I wear more darker clothes in the winter.

玛丽埃尔：对，我冬天一般会穿深色。

Todd: Well, just off hand, how many jeans do you think you have? How many pairs do you have at home?

托德：问个刚想到的问题，你有多少条牛仔裤?你家里有多少条牛仔裤?

Mariel: I think I have about eight or nine pairs.

玛丽埃尔：我想我大概有八九条牛仔裤。

Todd: That's a lot.

托德：那很多了。

Mariel: That's a lot but actually, I use only two pairs of them.

玛丽埃尔：是挺多的，不过我一般只穿其中的两条。

Todd: Your favorites?

托德：那两条是你的最爱?

Mariel: Yeah, my favorite jeans. And they're baggy.

玛丽埃尔：对，我最喜欢的牛仔裤。是宽松牛仔裤。

Todd: OK, thanks Mariel.

托德：好，谢谢你，玛丽埃尔。

Mariel: You're welcome. My pleasure.

玛丽埃尔：不客气。我很荣幸。
