1--What a nice dress,Jean.You look marvelous !
2--You ,too. Where did you get your new hat?
1--From the Crown's. Oh, what lovely earrings you have!Are Lhey diamond?
2--Yes.It's a birthday present from my husband !
1--Well,you are lucky to have such a considerate husband.Mine hasn't brought me a single rose since we married.
2--He'II come out with surprises. You just wait and see.Look at that woman,with the white chiffon !
1--She's chic,isn't she?
2--Yes.I like the dress.It must be the latest fashion.Look,the hem has lowered,and the waist narrowed.
1--lt makes me feel rather shabby. That woman has a good taste in dressing,l would say.
2--Yes.She dressed with an individual flair.I rather envy her.
1--Most women follow fashion like sheep.They don't know any better than imitate.
2--I quite agree with you.See the woman there? I dare say she hasn't got any eyes. How could she match the mauve gown with the green handbag? And all that jewelry !
1--The gown is quite expensive,believe me.
2--So what? It only makes her look cheap and vulgar.
1--You know those upstarts. They're all show-offs!I think I'd better have a diet;otherwise I'd look like a ballon soon.
2--You're quite slim. In fact,if you were one of those starlets, the movie company would say you have a fabulous figure.
1--Thanks. I'm flattered.
2--Oh, my shoes pinch me. Let's find a seat and sit a while.

1--琼，多漂亮的衣服。你真美！
2--你也很漂亮。你的帽子在哪儿买的？
1--在皇冠商店。哟，你的耳环太漂亮了！是钻石的吗？
2--是的，是我丈夫送给我的生日礼物。
1--有这么体贴的丈夫你可真运气。自结婚以来我那位再也没有给我送过一朵玫瑰。
2--他会让你惊喜的，你就等着瞧好了。看！那有个穿白纱裙的女人！
1--挺时髦，是吧？
2--是的。我喜欢这样的衣服。一定是最新款式。看！裙边放低；腰身也收得紧紧的。
1--相比之下我觉得自己穿得很寒酸。我觉得这个女人很会穿衣服。
2--是啊，她的穿戴很有个人风格，我真有点儿嫉妒她了。
1--大多数女人都盲目追赶时装潮流，只知道一味地模仿。
2--我太同意你说的了。看见那边那个女人了吗？我敢说她没有什么眼光。她竟然用绿手袋配紫裙，还戴着那些珠宝！
1--我想那件长裙一定很贵的。
2--那又怎么样？反倒使她看起来更没品位，更俗气。
1--你知道，那些暴发户们都是些好出风头的人。我想我该减肥了，不然我就会胖得像个气球了。
2--你很苗条嘛。实际上，如果你是个新星，电影公司会说你的身材棒极了。
1--谢谢，我真有点受宠若惊了。
2--哦，我的鞋把我的脚夹疼了，我们快找个位子坐会儿吧。
