生活英语情景口语:服饰与时尚

R: alright, tell me what you think.
J: don't you think it’s a bit bright?
R: yeah, maybe you’re right. How about this outfit¹?
J: that dress looks lovely on you, but it’s not very practical, is it?
R: no, I don't have an plans to go to a formal dance any time soon, but I love the way it looks. I just had to try it on! What do you think about this? It’s casual, yet sophisticated.
J: I like the jeans, but you need something to go with the top. It’s too plain on its own.
R: how about this scarf, these earrings², amd an anklet?
J: that might be going overboard a bit. How about just that scarf with a bracelet³?
R: that’s a good idea. You have a lot of good fashion sense.
J: thanks. You’d be ok on your own. There are loads of fashion victims out there, and you are not one of them. Have you tried it on yet?
R: yep. Here it is. What do you think?
J: that looks great. Just one more thing---you need some high heels with those jeans. Do you want a pair with a plain pattern or ones with a leopard⁴ print on them?
R: the leopard print sounds fabulous⁵. Are they a name brand?
J: no, they’re a Prada knock-off for 1/10 of the price of the real thing.
R: that’s even better than the real thing.
J: if I were you, I’d buy that now while it’s on sale. If you spend $100, you get a $50 voucher⁶ for more clothes.
R: it’s too bad I did all that shopping yesterday!
好了，说说看，你觉得怎么样。
你不觉得有点太艳了吗？
是的，也许你是对的。这套套装怎么样？
裙子穿在你身上很漂亮。但是好像有点不实用，对吧？
不是吧，虽然我一时不打算参加正式的舞会，可是我喜欢它的风格。我只是想试试看。你觉得这件怎么样？很休闲，还有点成熟的风情。
我喜欢那条牛仔裤，不过，你需要一件能搭配那件上衣的衣服。这条有点太普通了。
那这条围巾，这些耳环和这条脚链怎么样？
好像有点过分了。要是只有围巾配手链怎么样？
好主意，你的时尚品味很不错。
谢谢。你自己也行。现在有很多被时尚所累的人，还好你不是她们中的一员。你试过这件了吗？
嗯，这就是。你觉得如何？
看起来太棒了！
只再需要一件衣服—你需要一些高跟鞋来搭配这些牛仔服。你喜欢普通款式还是有豹纹的？
这种豹纹看起来很漂亮。这个是名牌吗？
这是Prada的仿制品，大约是正品价格的1/10.
这可比正品都好。
如果我是你，我现在就买，正好有打折活动。如果你买东西超过100美元，就能得到50美元的礼券买更多的衣服。
糟了，我昨天逛街的时候已经都买过了。
