Assistant: There are many art craft items in this shop. I suggest you take your time, and you might find something you like.

Benjamin: That's what I am going to do.

Assistant: If you have any problem, please come to me.

Benjamin: I surely will. How much is this wood carving?

Assistant: You are an expert on it. That wood carving is very rare. But I'm so sorry; that is not for sell.

Benjamin: That's OK. Is anything else recommended?

Assistant: Do you have any special request?

Benjamin: I'd like to see some traditional arts.

Assistant: So that means you are shopping for presents?

Benjamin: Yes, I'm just here to pick out some special presents for my foreign friends.

Assistant: Actually, I think the paper-cuts is OK, because it is easy to carry and foreign friends are also interested in it. They think that is a miracle.

Benjamin: Sounds good. I'll take paper-cut.

Assistant: I have collected different kinds of paper-cuts all over the country; you can pick the one you like best.

Benjamin: You collect them yourself? I think that you are just doing the wholesale.

Assistant: As a matter of fact, I open the shop because I'm interested in the arts. I spent lots of time doing research on the folk art of our country.

Benjamin: Wow, you are the expert on it.

聽看學

店員：本店有很多工藝品，我建議您慢慢看，也許會看到喜歡的東西。

本杰明：我正想慢慢看呢。

店員：如果您有任何問題就請問我。

本杰明：我會的。這個木雕多少錢？

店員：您真是個行家。那個木雕非常珍貴。但是非常抱歉，它是非賣品。

本杰明：沒關系。有其他可以推薦的嗎？

店員：您有什么特殊的要求嗎？

本杰明：我想看一些比較傳統的藝術品。

店員：您的意思是您在挑選送人的禮物？

本杰明：是的。我就是想在這兒挑選一些可以送給外國朋友的禮物。

店員：事實上，我覺得剪紙就不錯，因為剪紙便于攜帶，而且外國朋友對此也非常感興趣。他們認為剪紙非常奇妙。

本杰明：聽起來不錯。我就買剪紙。

店員：我收集了全國不同的剪紙。您可以挑選您最喜歡的。

本杰明：是你自己收集的嗎？我還以為你只做批發生意。

店員：事實上，我開這個店完全是出于對工藝品的興趣。我花了很多時間研究我們國家的民間藝術。

本杰明：哇，你才是真正的行家呢。
