IVY: I want to buy some running shoes. Maybe New Balance.
DAVID: Why do you need running shoes? You aren't a runner.
IVY: But I exercise at the club. And I use the stepping machine.
So I need good running shoes.
DAVID: That's not the same.
Maybe you want to buy running-shoe-style shoes, but not real running shoes.
IVY: What's the difference?
DAVID: There isn't much difference. But there is some difference.
For one thing, real running shoes are much more expensive.
They have very lightweight materials.
They're designed for serious runners, people who run ten kilometers a day.
IVY: And what are running-shoe-style shoes?
DAVID: They look like running shoes.
They have the same shape. And you can use them for running too.
But they're not so serious. They aren't designed for serious runners.
You can use them for exercising.
IVY: But they aren't as light, right?
DAVID: That's right.
If you want a really lightweight shoe, you should buy a high-quality running shoe.
IVY: That's what I want.
For exercising at the club. I can even spend 100 dollars on them. I don't care.
DAVID: But it's a waste of money. You won't really run in them!
You don't need such a shoe to use exercise machines. It's just a waste of money.
IVY: My sister has New Balance running shoes. I want shoes just like hers.
I don't care if they're expensive. And they look cool too.
DAVID: Well, do what you like.
There are different kinds of New Balance shoes though.
You don't have to buy the most expensive.
IVY: I want the best.
My sister said good shoes are very important. For support. They support your feet.
DAVID: Your sister is a fitness expert, huh?
IVY: No, but she exercises more than me.
DAVID: I really think you are stubborn about some things.
But here. Let's look at the New Balance shoes.
IVY: Here it is. This is what my sister has.
DAVID: Yes, that's it. That's their top model.
IVY: I wonder if they have my size.
DAVID: Well, we can wait for the assistant to help us,
or we can look through the boxes down here. What is your size?
IVY: Here in America, it's six.
DAVID: Well, here you are. Size six. Woman's. 137 dollars.
Wow, what a waste of money!
IVY: It's none of your business. Let me try them on.

艾薇：我想買跑鞋，紐巴倫牌子的。
大衛：你為什么需要跑鞋？你又不跑步。
艾薇：但是我在俱樂部運動，而且我用踏板的器材。
所以需要好的跑鞋。
大衛：那不一樣。
也許你想買的是跑類的鞋子，不是真的跑鞋。
艾薇：有什么差別嗎？
大衛：沒有太大差別，但有一點點差別。
差別在于真正的跑鞋貴很多，
它們的材質很輕，
是為熱衷跑步的人設計的，一天跑十公里的人。
艾薇：那什么是跑類的鞋子？
大衛：它們看起來像跑鞋。
外觀一樣，也可以用來跑步。
但是不是專門的，不是專門為跑家設計的。
你可以用來運動。
艾薇：但是沒那么輕吧？
大衛：沒錯。
如果你想要很輕的鞋子，就要買高級的跑鞋。
艾薇：我就是要那個。
為了在俱樂部運動，我甚至可以花 100 美元買鞋，我不在乎。
大衛：那太浪費了，你又不是要跑步！
你不需要買這種鞋來踩運動器材，那只是浪費錢罷了。
艾薇：我姐姐穿紐巴倫的鞋子，我就是想要她那種鞋子。
我不在乎貴不貴，而且看起來也很有型。
大衛：好吧，只要你喜歡。
紐巴倫的鞋子有很多款式。
你不必買最貴的。
艾薇：我要最好的。
我姐姐說買雙好鞋是很重要的，要用來支撐，支撐腳部。
大衛：你姐姐是健康專家啊？
艾薇：不是，但是她比我常運動。
大衛：你在一些事情上真的很固執。
在這里，來看看紐巴倫的鞋子吧。
艾薇：這就是我姐姐穿的。
