This afternoon, the children went to a bookshop with their teacher. They all looked at a lot of books, and the teacher bought some of the books. She bought books about vegetables and books about flowers. She also bought books about animals and books about people. The teacher didn’t have a lot of money, but she had enough to buy thirteen or fourteen books.

今天下午，孩子們和老師一起去了書店。他們看了許多書，老師買了一些書。她買了關於蔬菜和花卉的書。她也買了關於動物和人類的書。老師沒帶多少錢，但是足以購買十三四本書了。

In the bookshop, the children looked at lots of different books. Pat really liked a book about parrots. That book was quite expensive, so the teacher didn’t buy it. That book was quite expensive because it has a lot of color in the pages. Books with a lot of color are usually quite expensive.

在書店裡，孩子們看了許多不同的書。佩特真的很喜歡一本關於鸚鵡的書。那本書非常貴，所以老師沒買它。那本書非常貴，是因為它有許多彩頁。帶很多彩頁的書通常都很貴。

All the books the teacher bought were quite cheap. Those books are also quite easy for children to read and understand. Now, the teacher thinks she has all the books her class will need for this year. She bought thirteen or fourteen books, and she thinks that should be enough. She says she can go to the bookshop again next year when the school has more money.

老師買的所有書都很便宜。那些書對孩子們來說也比較容易閱讀和理解。現在，老師認為今年班級需要的書她都有了。她買了十三四本書，她覺得這些應該夠了。她說她可以明年再去書店，那時候學校會有更多的錢用來買書。

The children like the new books the teacher bought. Some of the books are in color, and all of them are quite easy to understand. Tomorrow, the children can look at the new books in their classroom. All the children think tomorrow will be a very good day in their classroom.

孩子們喜歡老師買的新書。有些書是彩色的，都比較容易理解。明天，孩子們就能在教室裡閱讀新書了。所有孩子都覺得明天在教室裡將會是非常棒的一天。

李和爸爸在談論書店

Lee

Good afternoon, Daddy. How are you today?

Daddy

I’m very well, thanks. And you?

Lee

I’m very well, too. We had a very good day today.

Daddy

Really? Why did you have a good day today? What did you do?

Lee

We went to a bookshop and got a lot of books. We got thirteen or fourteen new books for our classroom.

Daddy

Really? Who did you go to the bookshop with?

Lee

We went there with our teacher. We had to go with the teacher because she had the money for the new books.

Daddy

I see. And where did your teacher get the money from?

Lee

She got it from the school.

Daddy

Was it enough? Did your teacher have enough money to buy thirteen or fourteen new books?

Lee

She had enough money for the cheap books and for some books that were quite cheap. She didn’t have enough for the expensive books. Some of the books were very expensive.

Daddy

Which books did you and Pat want your teacher to buy?

Lee

Well, Pat wanted to get a beautiful book all about parrots, but that book was quite expensive, so the teacher didn’t buy it. She didn’t have enough money.

Daddy

I see. I’ll tell you what – I’ll take you and Pat to the bookshop again later this week. I’ll take you both there, and I’ll buy Pat that beautiful book about parrots.

Lee

Oh, good! And Daddy?

Daddy

Yes? What?

Lee

There was a book I wanted the teacher to buy, too. It was a big book, all about snakes and rats. Can you buy me that book? You know I am really interested in snakes and rats.

李

下午好，爸爸。您今天怎麼樣？

爸爸

我很好，謝謝。你呢？

李

我也很好。我們今天過得很愉快。

爸爸

真的嗎？為什麼呢？你們做了些什麼？

李

我們去書店買了很多書。我們給班上買了十三四本新書。

爸爸

真的嗎？你們和誰一起去的書店？

李

我們和我們的老師一起去的。我們得和老師一起去因為她有錢買新書。

爸爸

我知道了。你們老師的錢從哪裡來呢？

李

她從學校那裡得到的錢。

爸爸

錢夠嗎？你們的老師有足夠的錢買十三四本新書嗎？

李

她的錢足以買便宜的書還有一些比較便宜的書。她沒有足夠的錢買貴的書。有些書非常貴。

爸爸

你和佩特想要你們的老師買哪些書？

李

嗯，佩特想要買一本很漂亮的全是關於鸚鵡的書，但是那本書太貴了，所以老師沒有買。她沒有那麼多錢。

爸爸

我知道了。我跟你說——這周我會帶你和佩特再去一次書店。我把你們倆都帶去，我會給佩特買那本漂亮的關於鸚鵡的書。

李

噢，真棒！對了，爸爸？

爸爸

嗯？怎麼了？

李

我也有一本想要老師買的書。那是一本大書，全是關於蛇和老鼠的。你能給我買那本書嗎？你知道我真的對蛇和老鼠感興趣。
