Ruth: So if you buy something at a market, so you try it on first?
魯斯：如果你在市場買東西，你會先試穿嗎？
Akane: Well, yes I would ask the person if I can try it on. If they say no, then I would try to see if it fits or not right on top of my clothes and make a good guess.
茜：對，我會問售貨員我是否可以試穿。如果他們說可以，那我會穿上試試，看看是否適合我，好好看一下。
Ruth: Do you ever buy clothes which are second hand, which other people have already worn?
魯斯：你買過二手衣服嗎，就是那些別人穿過的衣服？

茜：我年輕的時候非常喜歡舊衣服。我來自多倫多的一個大地區，那里有許多出售舊衣服的商店，我以前經常去那里。
Ruth: Wow. So there kind of dated clothes are they?
魯斯：哇。那里賣的是舊衣服嗎？
Akane: Yes, they are. They are second hand clothes. They're used and they're very cheap and very fashionable.
茜：對，沒錯。是那些二手衣服，已經穿過的衣服，這些衣服既便宜又時尚。
Ruth: Oh, that sounds fantastic.
魯斯：哦，聽起來真棒。
Akane: Yeah, it is.
茜：是啊。
Ruth: Does anybody else ever buy you clothes? Do your parents buy you clothes sometimes?
魯斯：有其他人送過你衣服嗎？你父母會給你衣服嗎？

茜：我小的時候他們經常給我買衣服，但是現在不再給我買了，因為你知道我喜歡自己挑選衣服。
Ruth: Of course, yeah.
魯斯：當然了。
Akane: But once in awhile I might go shopping with my mother, and if there's something I like she might buy it for me if it's a special occasion.
茜：不過我有時會和我媽媽一起去購物，如果有我喜歡的東西，又是特殊場合，她會買給我的。
