Akane: I do. Thanks for noticing.

茜：是啊。多谢关心。

Ruth: Oh, that's OK. So are you quite into fashion?

鲁斯：不客气。你很喜欢时尚吗?

Akane: Well, I do like to buy stuff now and then.

茜：嗯，我有时很喜欢买东西。

Ruth: Yeah, and was that the last thing you bought?

鲁斯：好，那这条裙子是你上一次买的东西吗?

Akane: Ah, I'd say so, yes.

茜：嗯，我想是的。

Ruth: So do you spend quite a lot of money on clothes?

鲁斯：那你会在衣服上花很多钱吗?

Akane: Ah, no, I like to look for bargains.

茜：不会，我会喜欢找便宜的东西。

Ruth: Oh, good plan.

鲁斯：哦，好办法。

Akane: Yeah.

茜：是啊。

Ruth: And was that skirt a bargain?

鲁斯：那这条裙子便宜吗?

Akane: Oh, yes it was.

茜：很便宜。

Ruth: How much was it?

鲁斯：多少钱?

Akane: It was actually only 1,300 yen. (Wow) Yeah. That's about 13 Canadian dollars.

茜：只要1300日元。(哇)对。大约13加元。

Ruth: That's such a bargain. That's fantastic.

鲁斯：那真便宜。太棒了。

Akane: Yeah, it was.

茜：没错。

Ruth: So how often do you go shopping?

鲁斯：你多久去购物一次?

Akane: Um, not too often, maybe about once a month.

茜：嗯，不是很频繁，大概一个月一次。

Ruth: Once a month. For clothes?

鲁斯：一个月一次，买衣服吗?

Akane: Um, yeah, just to browse around, look around. Um, I might not always buy something, but once in awhile I do.

茜：对，就是随便逛逛。我可能不是总会买东西，只是偶尔会买。

Ruth: And where do you go?

鲁斯：一般你会去哪里?

Akane: Well, I like to go to the local market, and things like that, cause I think that's the best place to find bargains.

茜：我喜欢去当地市场或类似的地方，因为我认为那里是最适合找便宜东西的地方。

Ruth: Do you normally try clothes on before you buy them?

鲁斯：你在买衣服之前会先试穿吗?

Akane: I do. I prefer to try them on before I buy them. It's not always possible though.

茜：会的。我在买之前要先试一下。不过有时并不能试穿。

Ruth: So if you buy something at a market, so you try it on first?

鲁斯：如果你在市场买东西，你会先试穿吗?

Akane: Well, yes I would ask the person if I can try it on. If they say no, then I would try to see if it fits or not right on top of my clothes and make a good guess.

茜：对，我会问售货员我是否可以试穿。如果他们说可以，那我会穿上试试，看看是否适合我，好好看一下。

Ruth: Do you ever buy clothes which are second hand, which other people have already worn?

鲁斯：你买过二手衣服吗，就是那些别人穿过的衣服?

Akane: I used to be really into vintage clothes when I was younger. Yes, there's a huge area in Toronto where I'm from where there are many shops with vintage clothes, and I used to go there all the time.

茜：我年轻的时候非常喜欢旧衣服。我来自多伦多的一个大地区，那里有许多出售旧衣服的商店，我以前经常去那里。

Ruth: Wow. So there kind of dated clothes are they?

鲁斯：哇。那里卖的是旧衣服吗?

Akane: Yes, they are. They are second hand clothes. They're used and they're very cheap and very fashionable.

茜：对，没错。是那些二手衣服，已经穿过的衣服，这些衣服既便宜又时尚。

Ruth: Oh, that sounds fantastic.

鲁斯：哦，听起来真棒。

Akane: Yeah, it is.

茜：是啊。

Ruth: Does anybody else ever buy you clothes? Do your parents buy you clothes sometimes?

鲁斯：有其他人送过你衣服吗?你父母会给你衣服吗?

Akane: Um, I suppose they used to when I was younger, but not anymore, because you know, I like to choose my own things.

茜：我小的时候他们经常给我买衣服，但是现在不再给我买了，因为你知道我喜欢自己挑选衣服。

Ruth: Of course, yeah.

鲁斯：当然了。

Akane: But once in awhile I might go shopping with my mother, and if there's something I like she might buy it for me if it's a special occasion.

茜：不过我有时会和我妈妈一起去购物，如果有我喜欢的东西，又是特殊场合，她会买给我的。

Ruth: Oh, that's generous.

鲁斯：哦，真是大方。

Akane: She is.

茜：的确是。

Ruth: Alright, well thanks for that Akane.

鲁斯：好，茜，谢谢你和我们分享。

Akane: Alright.

茜：不客气。
