实战口语情景对话 第1338期:Price Range for Clothes 衣服的价格范围(1)

Todd: Okay, so I'm here with Jen and we're talking about clothing. Now, Jen, I'm a bit older than you, so I probably don't really care about what I wear so much. I always kind of pay the same price for my clothing. So I'm wondering, what's it like for a younger person? How much are you willing to pay? What is your price range?
托德：我和珍要来谈谈衣服。珍，我的年龄比你大一些，我可能不太在乎穿什么。我的衣服都是花同样的价钱买的。我想知道年轻人是什么情况？你愿意花多少钱买衣服？你能接受的价格范围是多少？

Jen: It depends upon like what you're buying. For example, if it's a pair of jeans then I would pay around 4,000 yen, that's Japanese yen. $40?
珍：这要取决于买什么衣服。举例来说，如果是牛仔裤，那4000日元左右我可以接受。大概40美元？

Todd: Oh really? That's still relatively cheap. Like some people pay like $100, right? Or $200.
托德：哦，真的吗？那相当便宜了。有些人愿意花100美元，对吧？或者200美元。

Jen: I don't think I would ever pay that much because I'm a student right now, so paying more than that would be something I wouldn't do.
珍：我认为我不会花那么多钱，因为我现在还是学生，我不会花超过40美元的价格买牛仔裤，我接受不了。

Todd: Well what about in your home country of Nepal? How much would people pay for pants there?
托德：嗯，那你的祖国尼泊尔呢？尼泊尔人会花多少钱买裤子？

Jen: In Nepal, like compared to Japan, it's really cheap there. You can actually get a really decent pant in 1,500 yen.
珍：和日本相比，尼泊尔的商品价格非常便宜。1500日元就能买一条相当不错的裤子。

Todd: That's like $15.
托德：大概15美元。

Jen: Yes.
珍：对。

Todd: Around. Oh that's good. What's the cheapest you would pay? I mean, I guess you could get stuff for free, but what's the lowest you pay for clothes? Or for pants? For pants?
托德：15美元左右。哦，那真不错。你买的最便宜的衣服多少钱？我猜你可能能得到免费商品，不过你买的最便宜的衣服是多少钱？或者说裤子，最便宜的裤子花了多少钱？

Jen: Okay, so sometimes when there's a sale and especially if there's shorts then you can just get it for like 500 yen.
珍：好，有时有折扣，尤其是短裤非常便宜，500日元就能买一条短裤。

Todd: Oh wow. Five bucks.
托德：哇哦。那大概是5美元。

Jen: Like five bucks, yeah.
珍：5美元左右，对。

Todd: That's good. Now what about shoes? Do you have a lot of shoes?
托德：不错。那鞋呢？你的鞋多吗？

Jen: Yes I do.
珍：很多。

Todd: Okay, for some people like shoes they spend a lot of money on shoes. I have a rule, unless it's dress shoes for work, I don't like to spend anything over $100. If it's athletic shoes, like sneakers, never more than $50. Ever.
托德：好，有些人很喜欢鞋子，他们会花很多钱买鞋。我有个原则，除非是上班要穿的鞋，否则我不会花超过100美元买鞋。如果是运动鞋，那从来没有超过50美元。从来没有。

Jen: Okay.
珍：好。

Todd: Like how much do you on average pay for shoes?
托德：你平均花多少钱买鞋？

Jen: I think it's different for girls, because our shoes range from $10 to, you know, a lot of money.
珍：我想女孩的情况不太一样，因为我们买的鞋价格可能最低只有10美元，但也可能会很贵。

Todd: What's the most you've ever paid for a pair of shoes?
托德：你最贵的一双鞋多少钱？

Jen: $100.
珍：100美元。

Todd: Oh really? That's not too bad.
托德：真的吗？那不算太贵。

Jen: Yeah, it's not bad at all.
珍：对，一点儿也不贵。

Todd: Yeah, no, that's good. Kind of good range. How about the cheapest? Five bucks?
托德：对，不贵。算是合理的价格。那最便宜的鞋呢？5美元吗？

Jen: Not five bucks, maybe 10 bucks, yeah.
珍：不是5美元，可能10美元吧。

Todd: 10 bucks, yeah. All right. I don't even know if I could find shoes for five dollars. They'd fall apart, right?
托德：10美元。好。我甚至不知道能不能找到5美元的鞋。那么便宜的鞋会裂开的，是吧？

Jen: You can, though.
珍：可以买到。

Todd: Oh yeah?
托德：是吗？

Jen: Yeah. On sale you can even get it in like three bucks.
珍：对，打折时甚至3美元就能买到一双鞋。
