掌握这些短语 海外购物就没啥了~~
微笑闪亮未来
随着秋季的来临,天气逐渐变冷。有没有想过和朋友一起出去逛逛街,享受一下retail therapy?
retail therapy“购物疗法”并不是真正的医用词。人们用它来表示“花钱购物让自己心情好起来”。
请注意下面情景对话中的一些用词:动词 hit 在这里的意思是“兴致高昂地到哪里去”,适用于成人活动。比如说,在日常英语对话中,人们会说“hit the pub 到酒吧去”,“hit the town 到城里去好好乐乐”。
朋友聊逛街
joan: it’s time for a change of wardrobe for me.
到了该换衣橱的时候了。
linda: so, you are up for some retail therapy then?
是呀,准备好去享受下购物疗法了吗?
joan: absolutely, how about we hit the shops tomorrow?
当然了,明天去吧?
linda:what are you thinking of buying?
你想买些什么东西?
joan: definitely a new coat and a few other things. we’ll see how it goes.
必须买件新大衣,其它的东西逛逛看吧。
linda:make sure you bring enough cash.
记得带够钱啊。
joan: don’t you worry about it. my bonus came this morning. it’s time for a treat.
这个你就别操心了。我的奖金今天刚入帐。是时候该好好奖励下我自己了。
