圣诞节若干情景口语

Some people love buying presents as much as receiving them. Others don't enjoy going out in bad weather to wander around overheated, overcrowded shops. Here are some five conversations to talk about this seasonal activity.
有些人喜欢买礼物也喜欢收礼物，而有些人则不喜欢在恶劣的天气里流连于燥热而拥挤的商场。下面是五个与购物季有关的对话：

1 Round the Bend 发疯了

Beth is in a cafe, waiting for Alex to finishi his Christmas shopping. Eventually he arrives.
贝丝在咖啡屋里等待去采购圣诞商品的阿力。终于，阿力来了。

Beth: Did you get everything?
Alex: Hardly. I haven't even got half my presents.
Beth: I told you it'd be busy.
Alex: Ok, clever clogs!
Beth: People go completely round the bend, don't they? You'd think the shops were going to close for a whole month.
Alex: To be honest, I wish they would.
贝丝：要买的都买了吗？
阿力：没有啊，我连一半的礼物都没买到。
贝丝：我就说现在购物会很挤嘛。
阿力：好吧，你总是对的。
贝丝：人们完全疯了，难道不是吗？你以为商店整个月都要关门吧。
阿力：说实话，我真希望如此。
