Clerk: Good evening. May I help you?

May: Good evening. I'm looking for a pair of contact lenses².

Clerk: All right. Do you know your eyesight?

May: 300. I just had my eyes tested last week, so it should be precise³.

Clerk: Did you wear contact lenses before?

May: No. But I'd like to try. Will it be troublesome to wear contact lenses?

Clerk: No. They are more convenient than ordinary glasses. But contact lenses are not suitable for everyone. Individuals with dry or sensitive eyes lost their ability to wear contact lenses.

May: Luckily, I don't have those problems. My eyes may be a bit weak, but they are healthy.

Clerk: Good for you. Here's a selection⁴ of lenses. Please take your time to have a look and pick out some you like. They all have descriptions on their packing boxes.

May: I see. Oh, I like this blue pair. May I try them on?

Clerk: Sure. Let me bring you a new pair. Please wait for a while.

(The clerk brings a pair of blue contact lenses.)

Clerk: Here they are. Sit in front of the mirror please and try them.

May: Very comfortable! It was a piece of cake! By the way, is there anything that I should pay extra attention to?

Clerk: Yeah. Always wash your hands before handing contact lenses. You should always keep them clean since they go on your eyes.

May: May I clean them with tap water?

Clerk: No. Here are some multi-purpose solutions for you to use. Carefully and regularly clean your contact lenses after each use. Here are the recommendations⁶ for Contact Lens¹ Wearers. Make sure you read every item and follow them.

May: I will. Thank you very much.

店员: 晚上好。有什么需要吗？

阿美: 晚上好。我想配一副隐形眼镜。

店员: 好的。您知道自己的视力吗？

阿美: 300度（近视）。我上周刚刚做了视力检查，所以这应该是准确的度数。

店员: 您以前戴过隐形眼镜吗？

阿美: 没有。但是我想试试。戴隐形眼镜会很麻烦吗？

店员: 不是。它们比普通眼镜戴起来会舒服很多。但并不合适每个人。眼睛很干或者眼睛过敏的人是不适合戴隐形眼镜的。

阿美: 真幸运，我没有那些问题。我的视力有点差，但是眼睛还是健康的。

店员: 很为你高兴哦。这儿有很多的镜片。您慢慢看，挑一副自己喜欢的吧。包装盒上都有它们相应的介绍。

阿美: 知道了。哦，我喜欢这副蓝色的。我可以试戴吗？

店员: 行啊。我去给您拿一副新的。请稍等。

（店员拿来了一副蓝色的隐形眼镜。）

店员: 拿来了。坐到镜子前，把它们戴上去。

阿美: 挺舒服的。小菜一碟啊。顺便问一下，我有什么需要额外注意的吗？

店员: 是的。当您拿隐形眼镜前都要洗手。它们是要被放到眼睛里的，所以一定要保持清洁。

阿美: 我可以用自来水清洗它们吗？

店员: 不行。这里有一些多功能的护理液可以用。每次用完之后，都要小心及时清洗您的隐形眼镜。这是给戴隐形眼镜的使用者的建议。一定要好好读完每一条然后照做哦。

阿美: 我会的。非常感谢。
