第十一课: 购物
Lesson 11: Shopping
在第十一课中,我们要再次学习“CAN I HELP YOU?”“我能为您效
劳吗?”这个句型,不过这次要学的是在购物的情况下如何使用这
句话。另外,我们还要学习其它一些在进行销售活动时可能会用到
的句型,以及如何形容一种商品及报出它的价格。
Mai: Can I help you?
Mona: I’m just looking, thanks.
Mona: Excuse me.
Mai: Yes?
Mona: These shawls. How much are they in American dollars?
Mai: All of these prices are American dollars.
Mona: Oh. Why are they so expensive?
Mai: They’re handmade.
Mona: And this one?
Mai: It’s pure silk.
Mona: Hmm. Have you got one in purple?
Mai: I’ll have a look.

Mai: Yes, what about this one?
Mona: That’s nice.
请再听一遍这段对话及中文翻译
梅: 我能帮您做些什么吗?
Mai: Can I help you?
蒙纳: 我先看看,谢谢您。,,,,噢,打扰一下。
Mona: I’m just looking, thanks. Excuse me.
梅: 没问题。
Mai: Yes?
蒙纳: 那些披肩,它们多少美元一条?
Mona: These shawls. How much are they in American dollars?
梅: 所有的价格都是以美元标价的。
Mai: All of these prices are American dollars.
蒙纳: 噢,它们怎么那么贵呀!
Mona: Oh. Why are they so expensive?
梅: 它们都是手工制作的。
Mai: They’re handmade.
蒙纳: 哪,这一条呢?
Mona: And this one?
梅: 这是纯丝的。
Mai: It’s pure silk.
蒙纳: 哦,,,有没有紫色的?
Mona: Hmm. Have you got one in purple?
梅: 让我查一下,,,,您看这条怎么样?
Mai: I’ll have a look. Yes, what about this one?
蒙纳: 真漂亮。
Mona: That’s nice.

请注意,在以前的课文中我们曾经学习过“CAN I HELP YOU?”
“我能为您效劳吗?”这个非常有用的句型。现在让我们再重复练
习一下。另外,请不要忘记,在零售业以及旅游服务业中,讲话时
面带微笑和直视客人的眼睛是一个值得大力提倡的礼仪。
Can I help you?
Can I help you?
现在我们来听听蒙纳是怎么回答的。
Mona: I’m just looking, thanks.
“ I AM JUST LOOKING, THANKS.”我先看看,谢谢您。当客人这样
讲的时候,就表示她暂时还不需要售货员的协助。所以售货员就不
应该再去追问客人更多了。否则的话就可能会让顾客感到不愉快。
做为售货员,你只要让客人知道当他们需要协助时你随时守候在侧
就可以了。现在让我们一起来听售货员梅是怎样描述披肩的。
梅: 它们都是手工制作的。
Mai: They’re handmade.
梅: 这是纯丝的。
Mai: It’s pure silk.
当然,如何形容一种商品有赖于你销售货物的品种。由于时间的限
制,我们无法将各种可能的说法都包括在我们的课文中。在这里我
们要着重学习IT’S 和THEY’RE 这两个表示方法。当我们要描述的
物品是单数时,我们就用IT’S 。而当我们要描述两个,或者两个以
上的物品时,我们就要用THEY’RE 。这条披肩,它是手工制作的。
It’s handmade.
这些披肩,它们都是手工制作的。
They’re handmade.
这条领带,它是纯丝的。
It’s pure silk.

这些领带,它们都是纯丝的。
They’re pure silk.
Mai: Can I help you?
Mona: I’m just looking, thanks.
Mona: Excuse me.
Mai: Yes?
Mona: These shawls. How much are they in American dollars?
Mai: All of these prices are American dollars.
Mona: Oh. Why are they so expensive?
Mai: They’re handmade.
Mona: And this one?
Mai: It’s pure silk.
Mona: Hmm. Have you got one in purple?
Mai: I’ll have a look.
Mai: Yes, what about this one?
Mona: That’s nice.
第十一课: 购物。
Lesson 11: Shopping
Mai: Would you like to try it on?
Mai: There’s a mirror over there.
Mona: Hmmm. It’s nice. Have you got one in blue?
Mai: Yes, here you are.
Mai: That colour suits you.
Mona: Mmm, how much is it?
Mai: Fifty-five dollars.
Mona: Oh. And how much is this cotton one?
Mai. That’s $12.50.
梅: 您要不要试一试,那边有镜子。
Mai: Would you like to try it on?
There’s a mirror over there.

蒙纳: 啊,嗯,,,它很漂亮。你有蓝色的吗?
Mona: Hmmm. It’s nice. Have you got one in blue?
梅: 有,在这里。那种颜色适合您。
Mai: Yes, here you are. That colour suits you.
蒙纳: 嗯,,,多少钱?
Mona: Mmm, how much is it?
梅: 五十五美元。
Mai: Fifty-five dollars.
蒙纳: 噢,哪这种棉的多少钱?
Mona: Oh. And how much is this cotton one?
梅: 十二块五角。
Mai: That’s $12.50.
蒙纳: 你有紫色的吗?
Mona: Have you got one in purple?
梅: 有,这条怎么样?
Mai: Yes, what about this one?
蒙纳: 你有蓝色的吗?
Mona: Have you got one in blue?
蒙纳: 这条棉的多少钱?
Mona: And how much is this cotton one?
您注意到了吗?在这四句话中反复出现的一个字就是ONE,这个字
代替了IT 它,或者SHAWL 披肩,以避免重复。在客人和售货员都
明白ONE 这个代词所指的物品时,反复地使用SHAWL 披肩这个词
汇,就显得有些单调和不必要了。
Mona: . Have you got one in purple?
Page 6 of 8
Mai: Yes, what about this one?
Mona: And how much is this cotton one?
第一个句型是一个问句
梅: 您要试一试吗?
Mai: Would you like to try it on?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY IT ON? 这个句型对于在服装业或首饰零
售业工作的人来说是一句非常有用的话。
Mai: Would you like to try it on?
Mai: Would you like to try it on?
现在我们再来学习一个有用的句型。梅在把一件商品递给
蒙纳时是怎么说的。
梅: 给您。
Mai: Here you are.
HERE, YOU, ARE , HERE YOU ARE。这是一句英语中常用的说法。
当你把任何一件东西递给某人时,你都可以说这句话。如果直译成
中文的话,这句话的意思就是I GIVE THIS TO YOU。我把这件东西
给您。
Mai: Here you are.
Mai: Here you are.
接下来让我们学习英语中元和分的正确说法。五十五美元。
Mai: Fifty-five dollars.
十二美元五十美分。
Mai. That’s twelve dollars 50.
TWELVE DOLLARS FIFTY。您注意到了吗?在这句话中我们并没有用
到CENT,也就是一分钱,两分钱的那个“分”。在英语中,当钱的
总数不到超过一元时,我们通常才会使用“分”这个词。例如,
FIFTY CENTS,五角或者五十分。同样的,在表达“几元几角”的数
Page 7 of 8
字时,我们可以将“元”和“角”这两个词全部省略掉。例如:
TWELVE DOLLARS FIFTY,十二元五角就可以直接说成:TWELVE
FIFTY。接下来就让我们练习一些有关价钱的说法。Twelve dollars fifty.
Twelve fifty.
Forty-five dollars.
Eighty dollars Australian.
Fifty dollars American.
Mai: Would you like to try it on?
Mai: There’s a mirror over there.
Mona: Hmmm. It’s nice. Have you got one in blue?
Mai: Yes, here you are.
Mai: That colour suits you.
Mona: Mmm, how much is it?
Mai: Fifty-five dollars.
Mona: Oh. And how much is this cotton one?
Mai. That’s $12.50.
Have you got
Have you got
Have you got one in blue?
Here you are
Here you are
That colour suits you!
Have you got
Have you got
Have you got one in blue?
Here you are
Here you are
That colour suits you!
