华尔街英语基础Lesson 81

2.Today I’ve come shopping in Next fashion store in the high street and with me is Juli Right, the assistant store manager. Juli, tell me a bit about Next, what sort of customers do you get here?
3.Well, we get a variety of customers both male and female and we also have a children’s ware department as well. The age is roughly, I would say, from about 18 to 35.
4. Now, we are here in the women’s department, do women spend more money on their clothes? I think so, yes. I think that men won’t come out shopping unless they have to, unless they have to buy suits for their wedding, their meeting, whatever.
5. So, do you think women have more sense of style generally. I think in this country, yes, definitely.
6. Well, will you help me. I need a small dress for work. Can you suggest something ? Yes, certainly. What about something like this, a navy shift dress. It suits all figures, all sizes, just the plain simple, navy dress, short sleeve, zipper in back.
7. What size? 14. 14, we should have, yes, that’s actually one of our most popular sizes. Yes , here we are. Here is the size14. Would you like to try this on?
8. I’d love to. Let’s see if it suits me. So what do you think and your honest opinion? Well, I think it’s very smart. I like it very much. I’ll take it!
9. Well, I’m a satisfied customer. And here browsing on the aisle, there is another customer. Excuse me, can I ask you what you’re looking for? Yes I’m looking for something for wedding. So do you have a set thing in mind? Not exactly, but something simple and plain, maybe nave blue.
10. In another part of the shop amongst the casual wear, I found another customer. Excuse me, can you tell me what you are looking for?
11. I’m looking for something casual to take on holiday with me, to wear on the beach maybe. What sort of colors do you look for? I like to wear a lot of black and dark colors, maybe yellow and a bit of red.
12. Are you shopping on your own or have you brought someone with you? I usually shop on my own. If I bring someone with me, it takes too long.
13. Shopping in this part of Next fashion store is a young couple. Excuse me, can I ask you? Do you know what you are looking for today? No, I just come in on the off chance that I’ll find something I like. And hopefully something to go on holiday with.
14. Now you have you husband with you. Is he important when you come to make decisions? Only when he’s got his checkbook with him.
15. Do you think you do know what is suitable for you. I would hope so. I think I’ve made some mistakes but I would hope generally that I know what suits me and what doesn’t. Yes.
16. Do you think that English women generally have a sense of style? It’s
something that your view always changes, you go abroad, you see the ladies in Italy and France.
17. Do you agree with that? Yes I think I do, especially in America. The women in America can look very stunning. French women especially look very, very nice. Paris in the place to go for some really beautiful shape women.
18. How about English man? Usually when they are in suits and they’re going to work, fine, but I honestly don’t think they’ve got much idea when comes to casual wear. So what would you choose to wear?
19. Well, at the moment. I’m looking for either a yellow or green shirt, but I do need a pair of black trousers. When I’m just going to upstairs and if I could find a pair that are not too expensive.
20. I’m now up in men’s department with another customer. Excuse me, can you tell me what you are looking for?
21. I’m looking for a suit or jacket for a party I’m going to at a hotel. Do you have an idea what suits you? No, I don’t. No, so I have to ask one of the assistants if they’ll tell me. One of the female assistants.
