Time to Shop

购物时间

It was time to go to the market. He had no bananas, no apples, and no milk. He got into his car and drove to the market. It was only five minutes away. The parking lot was almost empty. Good, he thought. He wouldn’t have to stand in a long line. He parked his car and walked over to the shopping cart area. He pulled out one of the carts and pushed it ahead of him into the store. Inside, he grabbed¹ an alcohol² wipe and wiped the handle of the cart. Then he grabbed another wipe and wiped his own hands. You can never be too careful, he thought. He turned left and walked over to the produce section. Today was his lucky day. Apples were on sale, a dollar a pound. Usually they were two dollars a pound or more. He put 10 apples into a plastic bag and weighed the bag. It was three pounds. He walked over to the bananas. They were the regular price, 79 cents a pound. He bought three pounds of bananas. When he saw the carrots, he remembered that he needed carrots, too. He put a two-pound bag of carrots into his cart. They were only $1.29. He walked to the dairy³ section and saw that a gallon of milk was $4. He put one into his cart and walked back to the front of the store. He paid for his food, got his receipt⁴, and walked out to his car. He put the food into his trunk and drove home.

该去超市购物了。他没有香蕉、苹果和牛奶了。他开车前往市场。距离市场只有5分钟车程。停车场的轿车不多。他想这太棒了。他用不着排长队了。他将车开入停车场，向停放购物车的地方走去。他拿了一辆购物车，推着车走入超市。他拿了张消毒纸巾，擦了擦购物车的扶手。又拿了一张纸，擦了擦自己的手。他想这下万无一失了。之后向左转，进入农产品区。今天是他的幸运日。苹果大促销，每磅一美元。通常是每磅两美元或更多。他往塑料袋放了10个苹果，随后称重。总共三磅。他前往香蕉售卖区。价格和平常一样，每磅79美分。他买了三磅香蕉。他看到了胡萝卜，他想到需要胡萝卜。他将两磅胡萝卜放进了购物车。价格仅1.29美元。他走向了奶制品区，一加仑牛奶售价4美元。他将牛奶放进购物车，之后回到店门口。他付了款，商店给了他小票，之后走回车里。他将食物放进后备箱，开回了家。
