英文原版对话1000个:802 Jeans Part 1

Todd: Before musicians like you said used to wear ripped¹ jeans. Jeans with big holes or rips² in them.

Mariel: Oh, yeah, that was in the 80's.

Todd: OK, maybe that was my generation. So that's not popular anymore?

Mariel: Some people like to wear ripped jeans, yeah, still, but mainly the rips are quite neat, so they're usually ripped a little bit around the pockets or around the cuffs³, you know the bottoms, Yeah

Todd: OK, yeah. That sounds like designer jeans. Maybe then like.... are they specifically⁴ made just for that style?

Mariel: Well, yeah. Actually, quite often the jeans you buy in the store are already ripped or already worn so they look like they're old but they are brand new.

Todd: But designer jeans can be really expensive, right?

Mariel: Oh, they can be very expensive but people are willing to pay the money because they're designer jeans. They're cool.

Todd: Well, how much do you pay for jeans?

Mariel: I can pay up to 120 Euros for jeans.

Todd: A hundred and twenty Euros.

Mariel: Yeah.

Todd: That's a lot of money.

Mariel: It's a lot of money, yeah, especially because I'm a student but I'm willing to put the money into it if the jeans fit very well.

Todd: Just, lastly about jeans, these days there's many different colors. You have the light blue jeans, or the darker blue jeans. Which colors do you like to wear?

Mariel: That depends on the time of the year actually. In the summer I like to wear light blue jeans and then in the winter I sometimes wear black jeans or really dark blue jeans.

Todd: Oh, that's interesting. So you change the color by season?

Mariel: Yeah, generally I think I wear more darker clothes in the winter.

Todd: Well, just off hand, how many jeans do you think you have? How many pairs do you have at home?

Mariel: I think I have about eight or nine pairs.

Todd: That's a lot.

Mariel: That's a lot but actually, I use only two pairs of them.

Todd: Your favorites?

Mariel: Yeah, my favorite jeans. And they're baggy⁵.

Todd: OK, thanks Mariel.

Mariel: You're welcome. My pleasure.
