Today, Mommy is going to take Lee and Pat to a clothes shop. Both Lee and Pat need new clothes, and Mommy is going to buy some for them. In the clothes shop, Mommy and the children will look at all the clothes and try to find some they like. Then, if the clothes are not too expensive, Mommy will buy them.

今天，媽媽要帶李和佩特去服裝店。李和佩特都需要新衣服，媽媽會給他倆買新衣服。在服裝店，媽媽和孩子們會看所有衣服，試著挑選他們喜歡的衣服。然後，如果衣服不太貴，媽媽就會買下衣服。

Lee needs some new shirts. Now, he has four or five shirts, but they are all very old. Mommy wants to get him some nice new shirts. Lee says he would like to get a yellow shirt, but Mommy thinks blue shirts are better. She thinks blue shirts are better for school. All the boys in Lee’s school have blue shirts. Nobody goes to school in a yellow shirt.

李需要幾件新襯衫。現在，他有四五件襯衫，可是襯衫都很舊。媽媽想要給他買幾件漂亮的新襯衫。李說他想要買一件黃色襯衫，可媽媽認為藍色襯衫更好。她認為藍色襯衫適合上學穿。李的學校裡的男生都穿藍色襯衫。沒人穿黃色襯衫上學。

Pat does not need any new shirts. She has enough good shirts already. Pat’s shirts are not so old. Mommy will look for something different to get Pat. If Pat sees something nice in the clothes shop, maybe Mommy will buy it for her.

佩特不需要任何新襯衫。她已經有足夠多的漂亮襯衫了。佩特的襯衫不太舊。媽媽會給佩特買其他衣服。如果佩特看到服裝店裡有漂亮衣服，也許媽媽就會買給她。

Mommy and the children walk up to the clothes shop and stop outside the door. They want to look in the clothes shop window before they go in. They can see lots of different kinds of clothes in the window. There are clothes to go to school in, clothes to play in, and clothes to work in.

媽媽和孩子們走到服裝店，停在門外。他們進店前想從服裝店的櫥窗裡看看。他們從櫥窗裡看到很多各式各樣的衣服。有學生裝，有遊戲裝，有工作裝。

There are lots of shirts in the window. There are blue shirts, yellow shirts, green shirts and pink shirts. All the shirts look very nice. There are lots of other clothes, too. Pat looks at all the clothes to try and see something she would like Mommy to buy her.

櫥窗裡有很多襯衫。有藍色襯衫、黃色襯衫、綠色襯衫和粉紅色襯衫。所有的襯衫看起來都很漂亮。窗戶裡還有很多其他衣服。佩特看著所有衣服，試著選幾件衣服想要媽媽買給她。

Now, the time is half-past five. The clothes shop closes at six o’clock, so Mommy and the children have enough time. Mommy opens the door and goes in with her children. Then, a woman who works in the shop comes to see them. That woman will help Mommy and the children to find the clothes they want to buy. The woman goes up to Mommy and asks her which clothes she is interested in.

Good afternoon. Can I help you?

Okay, please come with me and I’ll show you some of the shirts we have. We have lots of nice shirts for children right now.

Mommy

Thank you. Come on, children! Let’s go and look at some shirts.

Woman

Here we are. Now, these are boys’ shirts, and those over these are girls’ shirts.

Mommy

Oh, they look very nice. Are they expensive? I don’t have much money with me.

Woman

No, they are not very expensive. They are quite cheap. These shirts come in all colors. We have green ones, blue ones and white ones. We also have yellow ones and some nice pink ones.

Mommy

Really?

Woman

Yes. Girls usually like our pink shirts.

Mommy

I see. Well, I don’t need a girl’s shirt right now. I really need some good boys’ shirts for Lee.

Woman

Let’s look over here. Maybe you can find some you like here. Why don’t you look at all these boys’ shirts and see if you can find one or two you like?

Mommy

Okay. Thank you. Can you get me some of the blue ones to look at? Blue shirts are better for Lee’s school. All the boys in Lee’s school have blue shirts.

Woman

I see. Here you are. Here are some very nice blue shirts.

Mommy

Thank you. And next, we will look for something for Pat.

女店員

下午好。我能為您做什麼？

媽媽

是的。我需要給我的孩子買衣服。

女店員

我知道了。您對哪些種類的衣服感興趣呢？

媽媽

好吧，首先我們想要看看短裙。

女店員

好的，請跟我來，我會向你展示我們現有的短裙。我們現在有很多漂亮的兒童短裙。

媽媽

謝謝。來吧，孩子們！我們去看看短裙。

女店員

給您。現在，這些是男童襯衫，那些是女童短裙。

媽媽

哦，看起來很漂亮。價錢貴嗎？我身上沒帶太多錢。

女店員

不貴，衣服不是很貴。衣服很便宜。這些襯衫有各種顏色。我們有綠色襯衫、藍色襯衫和白色襯衫。我們還有黃色襯衫和漂亮的粉紅色襯衫。

媽媽

真的嗎？

女店員

是的。女孩們通常喜歡我們的粉紅色襯衫。

媽媽

我知道了。好吧，我現在不需要女童襯衫。我實在需要給李買幾件漂亮的男童襯衫。

女店員

我們看看這裡。也許您能在這裡找到您喜歡的。為什麼您不看看所有這些男童襯衫，看看您是不是能找到一兩件喜歡的？

媽媽

好的。謝謝。您能給我幾件藍色襯衫看看嗎？李上學穿藍色襯衫更合適。李的學校裡的男生都穿藍色襯衫。

女店員

我明白了。給您。這些是非常漂亮的藍色襯衫。

媽媽

謝謝。接下來，我們要給佩特選衣服了。
