A: Akane, you've got a new skirt!
茜，你买了条新短裙！
B: I do. Thanks for noticing.
是啊。多谢关心。
A: Oh, that's OK. So are you quite into fashion?
不客气。你很喜欢时尚吗？
B: Well, I do like to buy stuff now and then.
嗯，我有时很喜欢买东西。
A: Yeah, and was that the last thing you bought?
好，那这条裙子是你上一次买的东西吗？
B: Ah, I'd say so, yes.
嗯，我想是的。
A: So do you spend quite a lot of money on clothes?
那你会在衣服上花很多钱吗？
B: Ah, no, I like to look for bargains.
不会，我会喜欢找便宜的东西。
A: Oh, good plan.
哦，好办法。
B: Yeah.
是啊。
A: And was that skirt a bargain?
那这条裙子便宜吗？
B: Oh, yes it was.
很便宜。
A: How much was it?
多少钱？
B: It was actually only 1,300 yen. (Wow) Yeah. That's about 13 Canadian dollars.
只要1300日元。（哇）对。大约13加元。
A: That's such a bargain. That's fantastic.
那真便宜。太棒了。
B: Yeah, it was.
没错。
A: So how often do you go shopping?
你多久去购物一次？
B: Um, not too often, maybe about once a month.
嗯，不是很频繁，大概一个月一次。
A: Once a month. For clothes?
一个月一次，买衣服吗？
B: Um, yeah, just to browse around, look around. Um, I might not always buy something, but once in awhile I do.
对，就是随便逛逛。我可能不是总会买东西，只是偶尔会买。
A: And where do you go?
一般你会去哪里？
B: Well, I like to go to the local market, and things like that, cause I think that's the best place to find bargains.
我喜欢去当地市场或类似的地方，因为我认为那里是最适合找便宜东西的地方。
A: Do you normally try clothes on before you buy them?
你在买衣服之前会先试穿吗？
B: I do. I prefer to try them on before I buy them. It's not always possible though.
会的。我在买之前要先试一下。不过有时并不能试穿。
A: So if you buy something at a market, so you try it on first?
如果你在市场买东西，你会先试穿吗？
B: Well, yes I would ask the person if I can try it on. If they say no, then I would try to see if it fits or not right on top of my clothes and make a good guess.
对，我会问售货员我是否可以试穿。如果他们说可以，那我会穿上试试，看看是否适合我，好好看一下。
A: Do you ever buy clothes which are second hand, which other people have already worn?
你买过二手衣服吗，就是那些别人穿过的衣服？
B: I used to be really into vintage clothes when I was younger. Yes, there's a huge area in Toronto where I'm from where there are many shops with vintage clothes, and I used to go there all the time.
我年轻的时候非常喜欢旧衣服。我来自多伦多的一个大地区，那里有许多出售旧衣服的商店，我以前经常去那里。
A: Wow. So there kind of dated clothes are they?
哇。那里卖的是旧衣服吗？
B: Yes, they are. They are second hand clothes. They're used and they're very cheap and very fashionable.
对，没错。是那些二手衣服，已经穿过的衣服，这些衣服既便宜又时尚。
A: Oh, that sounds fantastic.
哦，听起来真棒。
B: Yeah, it is.
是啊。
A: Does anybody else ever buy you clothes? Do your parents buy you clothes sometimes?
有其他人送过你衣服吗？你父母会给你衣服吗？
B: Um, I suppose they used to when I was younger, but not anymore, because you know, I like to choose my own things.
我小的时候他们经常给我买衣服，但是现在不再给我买了，因为你知道我喜欢自己挑选衣服。
A: Of course, yeah.
当然了。
B: But once in awhile I might go shopping with my mother, and if there's something I like she might buy it for me if it's a special occasion.
不过我有时会和我妈妈一起去购物，如果有我喜欢的东西，又是特殊场合，她会买给我的。
A: Oh, that's generous.
哦，真是大方。
B: She is.
的确是。
A: Alright, well thanks for that Akane.
好，茜，谢谢你和我们分享。
B: Alright.
不客气。
