A：Hey Joe, what are you doing in this department store?嗨，喬，你在這家百貨公司干什么?

B：Hi, Rita, I'm just looking for a pair of shoes. I won't be here for long.嗨，瑞塔，我只是想買(mǎi)雙鞋。我不會(huì)在這里呆很久。

A：Why not? When I go shoe shopping, I have so many options for sneakers that I spend awhile looking at all of the choices.為什么不呢?當(dāng)我去鞋店買(mǎi)運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋時(shí)，我有很多選擇余地，所以我要花很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間看好這些鞋。

B：That's my problem. I don't have a lot of options.那是我的問(wèn)題。我沒(méi)有很多選擇余地。

A：What do you mean? This is a big store, isn't it?你什么意思?這個(gè)商店很大，不是嗎?

B：Yes, but I have unusually big feet. That wouldn't be too much of a problem except that they're also very wide, and only a few brands sell shoes that I can fit into.是，但我的腳也特別大。本來(lái)也不會(huì)有太大問(wèn)題，但是我腳又特別寬，所以只有幾個(gè)牌子有我能穿的鞋。

A：So how do you usually go about buying shoes, then?那么，你通常怎么買(mǎi)鞋?

B：Well, first of all, I can only go to certain stores that can guarantee me a large selection.唔，首先，我只能去那些能保證我有很大挑選余地的鞋店。

A：Well, you're in the right store. If they don't have it, no one will.那你來(lái)對(duì)了鞋店。如果他們沒(méi)有你穿的鞋，其它鞋店也不會(huì)有了。

B：After that I choose something from one of the few brands that I know will fit me. I prefer white, so I ask them to bring me a pair of white sneakers in my size. Since I’m usually only given one or two pairs of shoes that meet my qualifications, it makes it a very easy choice.然后，從我知道的幾種適合我穿的牌子中挑選一種。我比較喜歡白色，因此我要售貨員按照我的尺寸拿給我一雙白色運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋。因?yàn)橥ǔＶ粫?huì)有一兩雙鞋符合我的尺寸，因此挑選起來(lái)就非常容易。
