在服装店里,想买之前先试穿就问 Can I try it on?,想知道价格就问 How much is it?,想找大一号的就问 Do you have a bigger size?。
在店里询问
Can I try it on? — This looks nice. Can I try it on?
How much is it? — How much is it?
Do you have a bigger size? — Do you have a bigger size?
试一试: Camila: That jacket looks nice. ___ Farid: Of course. The fitting room is over there. Camila wants to wear the jacket before she buys it. Which fits? (Can I try it on? / How much is it? / It's on sale) 答案: Can I try it on? — Can I try it on? 是在问能不能先试穿再买,对应的回答指向试衣间。How much is it? 是问价格,It's on sale 是在描述价格,都不是在问能不能试穿。
谈论衣服
想描述衣服,尺码合适时说 It fits well,不够大时说 It's too small,价格比平时低时说 It's on sale。
It fits well — This coat fits well.
It's too small — This shirt is too small.
It's on sale — It's on sale today.
试一试: Amina: How is that shirt? Diego: ___ I can't even close it. The shirt does not fit Diego because it is not big enough. Which fits? (It's too small. / It fits well. / It's on sale.) 答案: It's too small. — It's too small 表示不够大,这正是 Diego 扣不上扣子的原因。It fits well 表示尺码合适,It's on sale 是关于价格的,都解释不了一件扣不上的衬衫。
试一试: Camila wants to bring a shirt back to the shop. First she needs the ___ that proves she paid. (receipt / price / fitting room) 答案: receipt — Receipt 是证明你付过钱的纸条,店家在接受退货前会先要它。Price 只是多少钱,fitting room 是试衣服的地方。
试一试: The pants are too long. Camila asks the tailor to ___ them. (shorten / return / price) 答案: shorten — Shorten 是改短,这正是太长的裤子需要的。Return 是退回店里,price 是价格,所以两个都不会改变长度。
