听力原文及翻译

So I got in the elevator and went to the 6th floor. "Have you any red material like this?" I said to a young man. "Red material? Upholstery department, other end of this floor." I went to the other end of the floor. "I want some red calico," I said to a man. "Furniture goods?" he asked. "Yes," said I, "fourth counter to the left." I went to the 4th counter to the left and showed my sample to a salesman. 

于是我进了电梯，上了六楼。“你们有这样的红色布料吗?”我对一个年轻人说。“红色材料吗?室内装潢部，在这层楼的另一端。”我走到地板的另一端。“我想要一些红印花布，”我对一个男人说。“家具吗?”他问。“是的，”我说，“左边第四个柜台。”我走到左边的第4个柜台，把样品给售货员看。

He looked at it and said, "You'll get this down on the first floor. Calico department." I went down in the elevator and out on the street. I was completely sick of red calico, but I decided to make one more effort. My wife had bought her red calico not long before, and there must be some to be had somewhere. I should have asked her where she got it, but I thought a simple little thing like that could be bought anywhere.

他看了看，说:“你可以在一楼拿到这个。印花棉布的部门。”我坐电梯下去，走到街上。我完全厌倦了红印花布，但我决定再努力一次。我妻子不久前刚买了红印花布，一定有什么地方可以买到。我应该问她从哪里买的，但我觉得像这样简单的小东西哪儿都能买到。
