购物英语⼝语:描述购物地点 Describing Shopping Places
CAROLYN: Albert and I need a lot of things to furnish our house.
But I don't know where the best place to shop is. Can you give me some advice? STEPHANIE: Sure, Carolyn. I'm happy to help you.
What kinds of things do you need right now?
CAROLYN: Well, we have most of the furniture already.
We mostly need kitchen utensils, bathroom accessories,
cleaning and laundry accessories--things like that.
And Albert wants to set up a little office in the small bedroom.
STEPHANIE: Well, as for Albert, he should go to an office supply store.
There's a very good one called Office Depot. They have everything he will need.
And their prices are good too. It's very convenient.
CAROLYN: Can I write that down?
STEPHANIE: Sure, it's spelled "Office" and then D - E - P - O - T.
It's in the Yellow Pages.
CAROLYN: Thanks.
STEPHANIE: And as for the kitchen things, do you want very high quality? CAROLYN: What do you mean?
STEPHANIE: I mean, do you want the best quality, or do you want good prices? CAROLYN: Probably good prices. You know we will only be in America for about a year. STEPHANIE: Then I suggest you go to K-Mart or Wal-Mart.
CAROLYN: What are those stores?
STEPHANIE: They are very large, discount department stores.
That means their prices are very good.
And you can find everything you need for the kitchen or bathroom.
CAROLYN: Even silverware?
STEPHANIE: Yes, everything.
They don't have the most expensive brands, but their quality is usually decent.
The main thing is, they have good prices, and they are very convenient. CAROLYN: I have a friend that said something about a place called Price Club.
Do you know about that?
STEPHANIE: I have never shopped there,
but I think Price Club is a kind of membership store.
CAROLYN: What does that mean?
STEPHANIE: That means you have to pay a membership fee to shop there.
I have heard they have very good prices on electronics.
CAROLYN: Electronics?
STEPHANIE: Yes. Like stereos and televisions.
CAROLYN: How much is the membership fee?
STEPHANIE: I'm not sure.
But if you are only going to stay a year, I don't think Price Club is good to join.
They have great deals occasionally.
They are very good for people who like to buy new things all the time.
CAROLYN: I see. Thanks for these tips. We really need to buy a lot of little things. STEPHANIE: I know how it is. Moving is very troublesome.
凯洛琳：艾博特和我需要很多东西装潢家⾥。

我不知道去什么地⽅买好，你可以给我⼀些建议吗？
史蒂芬妮：当然可以，我很乐意帮忙。

你⽬前需要什么东西？
凯洛琳：⼤部分的家具我们都有了。

我们主要需要厨房⽤具，浴室⽤的，
清洁和洗⾐之类的⽤品。

⽽且艾博特想在⼩的卧室⾥弄⼀个⼩办公室。

史蒂芬妮：对艾博特来说，他应该去办公室⽤品店。

有⼀家不错的店叫"帝伯办公⽤品"，在那⼉有他需要的每样东西。

⽽且价格也公道，很⽅便的。

凯洛琳：我可以写下来吗？
史蒂芬妮：当然，拼成 OFFICE，然后 D-E-P-O-T 。

在电话簿⾥有。

凯洛琳：谢谢。

史蒂芬妮：⾄于厨具，你要很⾼级的吗？
凯洛琳：什么意思？
史蒂芬妮：我是指你要很⾼级的还是便宜的？
凯洛琳：便宜的好了，我们⼤概只在美国待⼀年。

史蒂芬妮：那我建议你去凯马特，或沃尔玛。

凯洛琳：那些是什么店？
史蒂芬妮：是很⼤⼜有折扣的百货商店，
价格很便宜。

你可以找到你需要的每样厨房和浴室⽤品。

凯洛琳：连银器都有吗？
史蒂芬妮：是的，每样都有。

虽然不是最贵的品牌，但是材质通常都很好。

最主要的是价格便宜，⽽且购买⽅便。

凯洛琳：我有个朋友提到⼀个地⽅叫"优待价俱乐部"。

你知道那⾥吗？
史蒂芬妮：我没去那逛过，
不过我想那是会员俱乐部。

凯洛琳：怎么说呢？
史蒂芬妮：你必须缴交会费才能在那⼉消费。

我听说他们的电器⽤品很便宜。

凯洛琳：电器⽤品？
史蒂芬妮：是的，像是⾳响和电视。

凯洛琳：会费是多少呢？
史蒂芬妮：我不确定。

不过如果你只待⼀年，加⼊俱乐部并不划算。

有时他们会有很棒的促销。

对那些总是想买新产品的⼈⽽⾔是划算的。

凯洛琳：我懂了，谢谢你的建议。

我们真的需要买很多琐碎的东西。

史蒂芬妮：我了解，搬家是很⿇烦的。
