Shopping for Shoes买鞋子 (2)
C = Customer S = Salesperson
The customer has found a pair of shoes she likes.
C: I'll try one of these on. (The customer tries one of the shoes on.) It's too big. It slides up and down my heel when I walk around.
S: Well, let's try a size ten. (He gets another pair and the customer tries a shoe on.) Looks like a perfect fit.
C: Not really. It pinches my toes.
S: I'm sure they'll be fine once you break them in.
C: I don't know...well, I guess I'll take them, since you don't seem to have anything better.
S: Thank you, ma'am. It's been a pleasure doing business with you.
顾客找到了一双她喜欢的鞋子。
顾客：我要试穿其中的一只鞋看看。（顾客穿上了其中的一只鞋。）它太大了。当我走动时，它就在我脚跟上下滑动。
店员：嗯，那就试穿十号鞋看看。（他拿另一双鞋，而顾客试穿上一只。）它看来非常合适。
顾客：不全然是。我的脚趾太紧了。
店员：我相信一旦你穿习惯后就会很好。
顾客：我不知道……嗯，我想我会买这双，因为你们似乎没有任何更好的鞋。
店员：谢谢你，小姐。和你做生意是我们的荣幸。
