Ken:I'm sorry Janey,I tried to buy you some of the perfume,but they discontinued it three years ago.

很抱歉吉妮，我费尽周折去给你买那种香水，但他们三年前就停止生产这种香水了。

Janey:No wonder we couldn't find it anywhere;and all along I thought it was because you could only buy it in France.

难怪到处找不到这种香水，我还一直以为你可以在法国买到。

Ken:Apparently not.I'm sorry.I know you had your heart set on it.

抱歉，显然是没有的。我知道你一心想要那种。

Janey:No problem_o.Thanks for trying though.I really appreciate it.

没关系，但还是要谢谢你曾尽力过，我真的很感激。

Ken:Don't mention it.It's the least could do.Here,I bought you this other perfume instead.

别客气，我只能做到这一点。看看，我跟你买了别的香水；

I know it's no substitute,but I hope you'll like it.

我知道它不能替代你想要的那种，但希望你会喜欢。

Janey:Gee thanks!You really shouldn't have ,but I love it.

噢，谢谢，你其实不需要这样做的，但我真的很喜欢。

Ken:Really?You sure it isn't too flowery?

真的？用起来会不会太华丽了？

Janey:No way.It's perfect.I don't like the spicy kind and I have an aversion to wearing the powdery kind.

不，简直是完美极了。我不喜欢香料型的，并且对粉末型有强烈的厌恶感，

It reminds me of mom.

它让我想起了我的母亲。

Ken:Great.I'm psyched you like it.

太好了，我真的很高兴你会喜欢它。

Janey:It's pretty funky.Where did you find it?

这种香水真的很新奇，你在哪里买到这种独特的香水的？

Ken:Actually,that's a funny story.

事实上那有个有趣的故事，

I took a tour through this perfume factory and ended up buying it there.

我参观了一下生产这种香水的厂家，结束后就在那里买了这种香水。

Janey:That sounds normal enough.

听起来并没有什么特别的。

Ken:Right,but what I didn't tell you is that I got to do a little chemistry and make some perfume as well.

对，但我还没告诉你的是，我研究了一下化学并做了一些香水。

Janey:You mean to tell me that you made this perfume from scratch?

你想告诉我是你亲手做成这些香水的吗？

Ken:I just threw in a pinch of this,some of that,a little bit of that over there and voila,I ended up with your perfume.

我只放了一小撮这个，一些那个东西，那边的一点点东西，就做成了香水。

Janey:That's incredible!Sounds like loads of fun.

真是令人难以置信！听起来太有意思了。

Ken:My inspiration was actually your other perfume,you know the one they discontinued.

我是受你的香水的影响，你知道，就是停产了的那种。

Janey:Actually,I like yours better.You should put it on the market.

实际上，我更喜欢你，你应该投入市场，

I'm sure you'd make a ton of money.

我相信你能赚大钱。
