Conversation Two
對話二
M： Hello, I wish to buy a bottle of wine.
你好，我想買瓶葡萄酒。
W： Hi, yes. What kind of wine would you like?
你好，您喜歡什么酒?
M： I don't know. Sorry, I don't know much about wine.
我不知道，對不起，我不太懂酒。
W： That's no problem at all. What's the occasion and how much would you like to spend?
沒事的，請問什么場合用，預算是多少?
M： It's for my boss. It's his birthday. I know he likes wine, but I don't know what type.
這是送給我老板的生日生物，我知道他喜歡喝葡萄酒，但我不知道是哪種。
I also do not want anything too expensive, maybe mid-range.
不要太貴，中檔就行。
How much would you say is a mid-range bottle of wine approximately?
一瓶中檔葡萄酒大約多少錢?
W： Well, it varies greatly. Our lowest prices are around $ 6 a bottle,
價格有高有低，最便宜的大約6美元一瓶，
but those are table wines. They are not very special. And I would not suggest them as a gift.
但這些都是普通的佐餐酒，沒有什么特別之處，我不建議您買這種葡萄酒送給你的老板，
On the other end, our most expensive bottles are over $ 150.
我們最昂貴的葡萄酒一瓶超過150美元。
If you are looking for something priced in the middle,
如果您想選中間價位的，
I would say anything between $ 30 and $ 60 would make a decent gift. How does that sound?
我覺得30美元到60美元之間都可以，您覺得怎么樣？
M： Mm, yeah.
嗯。
I guess something in the vicinity of 30 or 40 would be good. Which type would you recommend?
我希望價格在三四十美元。你有什么建議嗎？
W： I would say the safest option is always a red wine.
我認為紅葡萄酒是個不錯的選擇。
They are generally more popular than whites, and can usually be paired with food more easily.
因為紅葡萄酒通常比白葡萄酒更受歡迎，并且紅葡萄酒與食物更好搭配，
Our specialty here are Italian wines, and these tend to be fruity with medium acidity.
意大利葡萄酒是我們這里的特色，這些葡萄酒果味酸度適中。
This one here is a Chianti, which is perhaps Italy's most famous type of red wine.
這是基安蒂紅葡萄酒，這也許是意大利最有名的紅葡萄酒。
Alternatively, you may wish to try and surprise your boss with something less common, such as this Zinfandel.
或者，你也可以嘗試送一些不太常見的酒當作一個驚喜送給你的老板，比如這個仙粉黛。
The grapes are originally native to Croatia but this winery is in eastern Italy and it has a more spicy and peppery flavor.
這種葡萄原產于克羅地亞，但這家酒莊位于意大利東部，口味更加辛辣。
So to summarize, the Chianti is more classical and the Zinfandel more exciting.
總之，基安蒂更經典，仙粉黛更令人興奮。
Both are similarly priced at just under $ 40.
這兩家公司的股價都略低于40美元。
M： I will go with Chianti then. Thanks.
我決定買基安蒂紅葡萄酒。謝謝。
