1. What do you usually buy when you go shopping?
1. 你購物的時候通常買什么?
I often shop for daily necessities, such as toothbrushes,toothpaste,cleansing cream, soap, shampoo, washing powder, etc. And since I like music (books),I sometimes go to bookstores to look for my favorite CDs (the recent bestsellers).
我經常買日用品,比如牙刷、牙膏、清潔膏、肥皂、洗發水以及洗衣粉等。自從我喜歡音樂(書籍)開始,我有時會去書店尋找我最喜歡的CD(最新暢銷的)。
2. What is your first priority when you go shopping?
2. 你購物的時候首要考慮的是什么?
When I shop for electronic appliances,I pay much attention to their quality because I don't want to pay high prices for low-quality appliances. But when I shop for clothes,I think color is the most important thing. A color that matches the color of your skin will certainly brighten your face and make you look prettier.
當我買電器的時候,我很注重質量,因為我不想花很多的錢買質量差的電器。買衣服的時候,我認為顏色是最重要的。一個和你的膚色相配的顏色肯定會使你的臉更明亮,讓你看起來更漂亮。
3. When do you usually go shopping?
3. 你通常什么時候去購物?
Generally speaking,I usually go shopping during the weekend. As I have to hit the books from Monday to Friday for five days in a row,there is no way for me to go shopping during the weekdays. But it really depends. It depends on whether there is any special offer or end of the season sale or mid-season sale going on or not. So when it comes to the time when there is any discount in shopping mails,I will be shopping like a mall rat.
一般來說,我通常都在周末去購物。因為我從周一到周五整整五天都要讀書,這就意味著我絕不會上課時間去購物的。但這也要看情況,通常取決于是否有特別的邀請或者季末、季中打折。所以當商場有任何折扣活動的時候,我就成了個購物狂了。
4. Do you like going shopping?
4. 你喜歡購物嗎?
I am not a big fan of it. Actually,going shopping is the very last thing I want to do! Moreover,I don't have enough money to spend on those fashionable clothes.
噢,我并不是很喜歡。實際上,去購物是我最不想做的事了。此外,我也沒有足夠的錢花在那些時裝上。
5. Do men or women go shopping more?
5. 誰更喜歡 購物,女人還是男人?
Women are definitely the demographic who are more likely to go shopping. It is one of the fields where women have the advantage. They are always popping into big department stores, shopping malls, street stalls and boutiques to shop like a mall rat. Especially when it comes to end-of-season sales or final clearance, they will shop until they drop! But it would turn out to be a totally different picture when it comes to men. Men like to stay at home or wait for their wives in the car when their wives are shopping. Even if it comes to the time they shop, they usually go to the store and grab the thing they need and leave right away.
談到這個問題,從統計數字來看,女人顯然更喜歡逛街。這是女人專屬的一個領域。她們總是像購物狂一樣地出現在一些百貨公司、購物商場、街頭店和時尚小店里。尤其是到了季末折扣或者最后清倉的時候,她們會一直采購到手都拿不下為止!但對于男人來說,就完全是另一種情形。當妻子在逛街的時候,男人通常都趨向于待在家里或者是在小車上等著妻子。即便是逛街,也通常都會走進商場買了他們需要的物品后就馬上離開了。
