国外理发店实用对话

 　　Linda: I'm ready for a new hairdo. Do you have any suggestions?

　　Hairdresser¹: Have you taken a look at any of the new styles lately?

　　Linda: Yes, I brought a magazine to show you. I like this one.

　　Hairdresser: Oh, that is pretty. Do you want to keep your hair this long? Or do you want to take it shorter? I think you would look cute with short hair. Perhaps you should go even shorter than in the picture.

　　Linda: I'll leave it up to you. Like I said, I'm ready for a change.

　　Hairdresser: OK. You should really think about getting highlights² put in, too.

　　Linda: Do you think that would look good? I'm worried it will make my hair look unnatural³.

　　Hairdresser: No, it won't. The highlights are very subtle⁴. We can do a little bit this time. 　　If you like it, we can do more next time. Otherwise, the highlights should grow out in about four weeks.

　　Linda: OK, just do what you want. I count on you. By the way, how much do you charge for a shampoo and set?

　　Hairdresser: Forty dollars in total.

　　琳达：我准备换个新发型，你有什么建议吗？

　　理发师：你最近有没有看到什么新的发型？

　　琳达：有，我带了一本杂志给你看。我喜欢这个发型。

　　理发师：哦，它很漂亮。你的头发要继续留这么长吗？还是要剪短一点？我认为你剪短发一定很好看。或许你该剪得比杂志上更短些才好。

　　琳达：你来决定吧。我说过的，我已准备好要改变一下自己。

　　理发师：好。你还应该认真考虑把头发外层颜色染淡一点。

　　琳达：你认为那样会好看吗？我担心那会使我的头发看起来不自然。

　　理发师：不会。只是稍微染一下。这次我们可以稍微染一点。如果你喜欢的话，下一次可以染多一点。要不然，染过的颜色四个星期就会淡下去了。

　　琳达：好的，我听你的。顺便问一下，洗头、做头发要多少钱？

　　理发师：一共40元。
