时差N小时:买鞋子

Mike: I like the look of that pair over there. What doyou think?

麦克：我喜欢那边的那双鞋。你觉得它怎么样?

Amanda: The leather pair? Good choice. Leathershoes allow your feet to breathe, so they won't get allsweaty and smelly.

阿曼达：皮质的那双吗?挺不错。皮质的鞋子可以让你的脚自由呼吸，这样话，你的脚就不会出汗，也不会发臭。

Mike: They even have special insoles to support thearches of my feet. That's going to make a bigdifference when I go jogging. Perhaps I won't getcramps so much now.

麦克：这双鞋还有特制的鞋垫来支撑我的足弓。这对我慢跑时很有好处——也许不会像现在这样经常抽筋。

Amanda: If you wanted, you could buy the same pair without laces. I'm not a big fan of Velcrostraps though. I think they look ugly.

阿曼达：如果你看中了，你可以买双和这双一样但没有鞋带的鞋。我不喜欢尼龙搭扣那样的款式，我觉得它们太丑陋了。

Mike: Yeah. Me too. Well, I'm going to try them on to see how they feel.

麦克：嗯。我也不喜欢那样的。好了，我要去试一下，看看感觉如何。

Amanda: Don't forget to make sure they don't pinch anywhere, or you'll soon be limping alongwith horrible blisters.

阿曼达：记住，千万不能卡脚， 不然你的脚就会起泡，走起路来一瘸一拐。

Mike: They're a bit tight. Could you get me a shoehorn? Oh, and one more thing, could you askhow much they are going to cost me?

麦克：有点紧。帮忙给我找个鞋拔。对了，还有一件事，你能帮我问一下这双鞋多少钱吗?

Amanda: Do you have a price in mind?

阿曼达：你心里就没个底儿吗?

Mike: Err ... I was thinking of spending about NT$4,000.

麦克：哦……我的预算大约是新台币4,000元。

Amanda: Wow! You must have struck it rich overnight. How about a less extravagant pair,so you have enough left over to take me out to dinner!

阿曼达：哗!你是不是一夜暴富了?能不能买双便宜点的，剩下的钱请我吃饭!
