May: I need some new clothes for the coming season. Where shall I go to pick up some?
Gucci: I’m thinking of buying some stuff, too. Let’s go to the speciality stores. There will be some new models for sale now.
May: Will the new models be very expensive?
Gucci: Depends on the brands. But there will be some out-of-season clothes on discount, too. So maybe we can also get some stuff, good and cheap.
May: Great. Let’s go.
(They step into a speciality store.)
Gucci: Do you like this one? I think it will be great on you.
May: I like the style. Especially the Porsche logo. Let me try it on in the fitting room. Wait a minute!
Gucci: Take your time.
(May stands in front of the mirror, wearing the new dress.)
Gucci: Hmm, not bad, but I’m afraid it’s a bit too big for you.
May: Yeah, that’s the only problem. Well, do you think they’ve got a smaller one?
Gucci: Probably not. Most of the clothes here have only one average size.
May: Never mind. What about going to check out the discount section?
Gucci: That’s what I’m thinking about.
(They come to the discount section.)
Gucci: Oh, this one.
May: What’s up?
Gucci: This dress was a new model this time last year. I loved it but it was a bit too expensive. So I gave it up.
May: Good for you. It’s 50% off now. Take it!
Gucci: Sure. I won’t miss this chance. It’s my lucky day.

阿美: 我需要为下个季节买一些新衣服。我该去哪里买呢?
古奇: 我也在考虑买一些衣服呢。我们去专卖店吧。现在那里该有新款上市了。
阿美: 新款会不会很贵啊?
古奇: 看牌子的。但也会有一些过季的衣服打折。也许我们能淘到一些又好又便宜的东西呢。
阿美: 真好。我们走吧。
(她们走进了一家专卖店。)
古奇: 你喜欢这件吗?我觉得你穿上它一定很好看。
阿美: 我喜欢它的款式。尤其是那个保时捷的商标。我去试衣间试穿看看。等我一下。
古奇: 你慢慢来，不着急。
(阿美穿着新衣服站在镜子前。)
古奇: 嗯，还不错，但是我怕你穿有点太肥了。
阿美: 就是，这是唯一的问题。不过，你说他们会有小一点的吗?
古奇: 恐怕没有。这里大部分的衣服都是均码的。
阿美: 没关系。要不我们去打折区看看。
古奇: 我也正想这事呢。
(她们来到了打折区。)
古奇: 哦，这件衣服!
阿美: 怎么了?
古奇: 这件女装去年的这个时候是新款。我特别喜欢，可是当时好贵，所以我没有买它。
阿美: 真为你高兴啊。现在它打五折呢。买了吧!
古奇: 当然。我可不能再错过这个机会了。今天是我的幸运日哦。
