Dialogue 1

Jingjing: Hey Mark. How's your week going?
京晶：嘿，馬克，這周過得怎么樣？
Mark: Hey Jingjing. It's been a smooth week so far.
馬克：嘿，京晶。目前還比較順利。
Jingjing: You look like you're a little under the weather—if you don't mind me pointing it out.
京晶：你看上去有些不舒服的樣子，如果你不介意我指出來的話。
Mark: Yeah, it might look that way; but I'm fine. I had to work late yesterday, and forgot to use night cream. So, my eyes look a little dark.
馬克：是的，可能看上去有點(diǎn)，但是我很好。我昨天不得不工作到很晚，還忘了用晚霜。所以，我的眼睛看著有點(diǎn)黑。
Jingjing: Yeah, that's what I noticed. Anyway, it's good you're feeling well. Mark, I wonder if you could give me some advice.
京晶：對(duì)，那就是我注意到的。好吧，你感覺身體還好就好。馬克，我在想你能否給我一點(diǎn)建議。
Mark: Sure. What's up?
馬克：當(dāng)然，怎么了？
Jingjing: Well, I have to go to a pageant, and am wondering about make-up.
京晶：是這樣的，我要去參加一個(gè)盛典，我想知道怎么化妝。
Mark: I don't think you need any make-up.
馬克：我不覺你需要任何的化妝。
Jingjing: Hah! Guys always say that. But seriously, I want to get away from the casual look for an evening. How do you think I should handle it? I could go to a salon and get a make-over, go to a cosmetics shop and buy a kit, or just use whatever lipstick I have already.
京晶：哈，男生們總是這么說。但說真的，我想為這個(gè)晚上打扮的得不同一些。你覺得我應(yīng)該如何操作一下呢？我可以去一個(gè)美容店弄一弄，去化妝品店買一個(gè)化妝套裝，或者就用我手里有的不管什么顏色的唇膏。
Mark: Hmm. At the salons, they always overdo it, you know, with foundation and all kinds of stuff. On the other hand, I've seen people after they've done their own make-up, and it looked a little wrong.
馬克：嗯，在美容沙龍里，他們經(jīng)常會(huì)弄過頭，比如涂粉底或者其他什么的。另一方面，我也見過一些人自己化妝，看上去總是哪里不對(duì)。
Jingjing: I don't really have much make-up. I'd have to buy a lot of products and might not use them again.
京晶：我真的沒有太多化妝品。我必須得買一大堆以后可能不會(huì)再用的產(chǎn)品了。
Mark: You have lipstick already. I think if you just added to that an eyebrow pencil, mascara, and a small pallet, it'd be enough. Oh, and don't forget to pick up some make-up remover.
馬克：你已經(jīng)有唇膏了。我想如果你再添一支眉筆，睫毛膏，和一個(gè)小彩妝色盤的就足夠了。噢, 對(duì)了，別忘了再買一些卸妝液。
Jingjing: You think that's all I need?
京晶：你覺得我就需要這些了嗎？
Mark: If the pallet doesn't include rouge or eyeshadow, you'd want to add those.
馬克：如果色盤不包括腮紅和眼影，你就得再買上那些。
Jingjing: The salon might work out well for me, because I can go there on the way to the pageant.
京晶：去沙龍可能能很好地解決我的問題，因?yàn)槲铱梢栽谌ナ⒌涞穆飞暇腿ツ莾毫恕?br />Mark: That might work better for you. Just don't let them make you look like you're gonna be in a Peking opera. By the way, are you hosting the pageant or just going as a guest.
馬克：這辦法可能更好。就是不要讓他們把你打扮得像要演京劇了。對(duì)了，你是要主持這個(gè)盛典呢還是只是作為一個(gè)嘉賓去。
Jingjing: I'll be there mostly as a guest. But the organizers told me to be ready to take the stage for a short time.
京晶：主要是賓客身份吧。但是組織者告訴我準(zhǔn)備短暫上會(huì)兒臺(tái)。
Mark: Yeah, so go mostly for the natural look. A few accents should be enough.
馬克：所以，基本以最自然的面貌去參加就行了，稍事打扮即可。
Jingjing: Thanks for your advice, Mark.
京晶：謝謝你的建議哦，馬克。
