生活英语口语:定制西服
J: can you help me pick out some fabric for a suit? I'm going to get one made for a friend's wedding.
R: sure. What kind of material do you want for the suit to be made from?
J: it depends on the price, but I was thinking of getting a wool/cashmere blend.
R: that will probably be quite expensive, but the more you pay for the fabric, the longer it'll last and the better it'll look. What color do you want the suit to be?
J: I was thinking of a brown pin-striped suit.
R: brown, huh? Isn't that a bit dull?
J: haven't you heard? Brown is the new black.
R: why don't you just get black? Black suits are always fashionable and can be worn for anything—a funeral, a wedding, a job interview—anything!
J: that may be true, but black is so boring. Anyway, I already have three black suits. I might as well get a suit that stands out from the rest.
R: here are two different shades of brown. Which one do you prefer?
J: I like the one on the left, but I don't like the pattern on it. It's too much. I want a pattern that's a bit subtler.
R: how about this one?
J: I think that will do. Let's go talk to the tailor about getting it made.
R: ok, let's go.
你能帮我挑块布料做套装吗?我要做身衣服去参加一个朋友的婚礼。
当然可以。你想要什么料子的?
这取决于价格，但是我希望是羊毛和羊绒混纺的。
那可会非常贵，但是你用的料子越贵，衣服就越经穿，而且还非常漂亮。你想做什么颜色的?
我正在考虑棕色上纹有细线纹的。
棕色的，啊?会不会有点太暗了?
你没听说过吗?棕色是一种新兴的黑色。
那你干嘛不做件黑的?黑色西服一直都很时尚，而且适用于任何场合—葬礼，婚礼，面试---什么场合都行!
是这样没错，但是黑色有点单调了。不管怎么说，我已经有三件黑西服了。我还是希望能跟其他人不一样。
这儿有两种暗纹的棕色布料。你比较喜欢哪一个?
我喜欢左边那个，但是我不喜欢它上面的图案。图案太复杂了。我喜欢简单含蓄一点的。
那这个怎么样?
这个还不错，咱们去找裁缝做吧。
好的，走吧。
