等一下。我需要列出我们需要的想法。
A: good idea. Have you written down potatoes, carrots, and onions?
好主意。你记下土豆、胡萝卜和洋葱了吗?
B: I don’t have onions on my list. I’ll add them. We should get some tea. Is green tea ok or should we get the same tea that we usually get?
我的单子上没有洋葱。我再加上它们。我们应该喝点茶。绿茶可以吗?还是我们应该喝和平时一样的茶?
A: let’s get both. We need some coffee too. Is that on your list?
我们两样都要。我们也需要一些咖啡。这在你的单子上吗?

我想你什么都有了。我想要一些巧克力和奶酪。

A: I’ve got them there. Shall I drive?

Intermediate
A: Do you do a lot of shopping online?
你经常网购吗?
B: Not really. I like looking on the internet at what’s available, but I usually prefer to actually see and touch what I’m buying before I pay for it. Sometimes, I’ll look at something in a shop, but later buy it online if it’s cheaper. You don’t like buying things online, do you?
不经常。我喜欢在网上看看有什么东西,但实际上我通常更喜欢在付款前看看摸摸我买的东西。有时。我会在商店里看看某件东西,然后如果更便宜的话就在网上买。你不喜欢网购,是吧?
A:Yes. I’m a little worried about security. You never who’s trying to find out your codes and passwords. Aren’t you worry about that?
不喜欢。我有点担心安全性。你从不知道都是谁在破解你的密码。你不担心这一点吗?
B: Not really. I know that it happens, but if you buy from reputable companies with secure websites, you should be ok. Even thought I use online shopping facilities, I don’t think it’s the best way to shop.
不怎么担心。我知道有时会有这样的情况,但是如果你从有安全网站的知名公司买的话,应该没问题。虽然我使用网络购物,但我认为这并不是最好的购物方式。
A: I’m surprised to hear you say that. I thought you loved anything technological.
听到你这么说我很吃惊。我以为你喜欢科技类的东西呢。
B: I do. I’m a big fan of using new technology, but I don’t want to sit in front of a computer screen all day. I think people need to get out and interact with other people.
我喜欢。我可以使用新科技的超级粉丝,但是我不想整天坐在电脑前。我认为人们需要走出去和其他人交流。
A: So, how about coming to the department store with me? I want to see if there are any new summer clothes on sale yet.
那么,和我一起去百货商店怎么样?我想看看有没有什么新款夏季的衣服做活动。
B: Sure. I’d love to join you. Can we stop by the computer store? I just want to see if they have something.
当然。我想和你一起去。我们能顺道在电脑店停一下吗?我想看看他们有没有什么。
A: Sure. While you’re in the computer store, I will visit the book store opposite. I like to browse through their books if they have anything interesting.
好的。你在电脑店的时候我去对面的书店看看。我想看看他们有没有什么有趣的书。
B: Ok. I’ve finished online. Let’s go. I’ll just get some money and my credit card.
好的,我上网好了。我们去吧。我得去拿些钱还有我的信用卡。
A: Thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten to get mine.
谢谢提醒我。我忘记拿我的了。
