地道美语听力练习:买鞋问题

Curran:I like these tennis shoes. I need a new pair.

Beth:We're here to buy you some dress shoes for attending Chelsey's wedding.

You can't go wearing those worn out loafers, and you need time to break them in.

Curran:All right. Just pick whatever you think is suitable and let's go.

Beth:Don't you want to have a say in what you wear?

I think these oxfords are nice. What do you think?

Curran:Great. I'm a size 10 and a half.

I'll try them on and we'll go.

Beth:You can't just buy the first pair of shoes you see. How about these?

Curran:Those patent leather shoes?

They have purple laces. Well, if you think they're okay...

Beth:No, they're not.

These shoes are totally wrong for the occasion, not to mention hideous.

I was just trying to get a rise out of you so you'll pick the shoes you like.

Curran:But I don't care what I wear. Just pick a pair.

Beth:No, you pick.

Curran:Fine. How about these?

Beth:No, they're not dressy enough.

They look more like sandals than dress shoes.

Curran:Then how about these?

Beth:Those boots? Definitely not.

Curran:Okay, these then.

Beth:Those shoes fasten with Velcro. Are you kidding me?

Curran:Okay, why don't you just tell me what my taste should be and I'll buy what you want me to buy?

Beth:And leave you with no say in your own purchase?

What kind of cousin would I be if I did that?
