Today, Mommy and Daddy are going to buy something for Pat’s birthday. They don’t know what they will buy yet – they want to look first. Daddy thinks they should buy Pat something she can use in school. He tells Mommy they should buy her a new bag for school. He says Pat can use the bag for her writing books, reading books, pens, pencils, ruler and eraser.

今天，媽媽和爸爸準備為佩特生日買點東西。他們不知道要買什麼——他們想先看看。爸爸認為他們應該給佩特買一些她在學校可以使用的東西。他告訴媽媽他應該給她買一個新書包上學。他說佩特可以用這個包來裝她的寫作書，閱讀書，鋼筆，鉛筆，尺子和橡皮。

Mommy doesn’t think a bag would be a good present for Pat. Mommy knows that Pat would like to have something she can play with. She knows that Pat loves to play with her friends’ dolls. Pat is Mommy’s daughter, and Mommy always knows what her daughter wants. Mommy understands her daughter very well and loves her very much. Daddy doesn’t understand his daughter as well as Mommy does.

媽媽認為包對佩特來說不是件好禮物。媽媽知道佩特想要一些她能玩的東西。她知道佩特喜歡和她朋友的洋娃娃玩。佩特是媽媽的女兒，媽媽總是知道她女兒想要什麼。媽媽很瞭解她的女兒，非常愛她。爸爸不像媽媽那樣理解他的女兒。

Now, Mommy and Daddy are outside the toy shop. In the shop window there are lots of nice dolls. Mommy can count sixteen, seventeen or eighteen dolls in the window. Some of the dolls are big. Others are small. All of the dolls have nice clothes. One or two of the dolls have hats. One of the dolls has a big blue hat, yellow hair and a pink dress. Mommy thinks Pat would like to have a doll like that.

現在，媽媽和爸爸在玩具店外面。商店櫥窗裡有許多漂亮的洋娃娃。媽媽可以在櫥窗裡數出十六、十七或十八個娃娃。有些是大娃娃。其他是小的。所有的娃娃都有漂亮的衣服。有一兩個娃娃有帽子。其中一個娃娃有一頂藍色的大帽子、黃色的頭髮和一件粉紅色的連衣裙。媽媽認為佩特想要一個像那樣的洋娃娃。

Daddy doesn’t like that doll. He doesn’t like its big blue hat, and he thinks the doll’s face is not so beautiful. He says if they get Pat a doll, they should get one without a hat. He thinks dolls without hats look better.

爸爸不喜歡那個洋娃娃。他不喜歡那頂藍色的大帽子，他覺得娃娃的臉沒那麼漂亮。他說如果他們要給佩特買一個洋娃娃，他們應該買一個沒有帽子的。他認為沒有帽子的娃娃看起來更好。

Mommy doesn’t listen to Daddy. She thinks Daddy doesn’t know what his daughter likes. Mommy knows what girls like because she can remember when she was a young girl. When Mommy was a young girl, she really liked dolls. She had a doll until she was seventeen or eighteen years old. She liked to take that doll into her bedroom and play with it on her own.

媽媽不聽爸爸的話。她認為爸爸不知道女兒喜歡什麼。媽媽知道女孩喜歡什麼，因為她能記得她小時候的樣子。當媽媽還是個小女孩的時候，她真的很喜歡娃娃。她有一個娃娃，直到她十七歲或十八歲。她喜歡把洋娃娃放在臥室裡自己玩。

Mommy and Daddy go up to the toy shop door, open it and go into the shop. Just now, it is very quiet in the shop. Mommy wants someone to come and help her, so she goes up to a woman who works in the shop. That woman can help Mommy find a good present for Pat.

媽媽和爸爸走到玩具店的門前，打開它，走進商店。剛才商店裡很安靜。媽媽希望有人來幫助她，所以她走到一個在商店女員工那裡。那個女員工能幫媽媽給佩特找到一件好禮物。

Mommy

Excuse me.

Woman

Yes. Good afternoon. Can I help you?

Mommy

Yes. Good afternoon. I’m looking for something for my daughter. It’s her birthday tomorrow.

Woman

I see. How old will your daughter be tomorrow?

Mommy

Nine. She will be nine years old tomorrow.

Woman

Well, we have lots of games here. And some of our games are ones teachers use to help them teach children things like reading or counting.

Mommy

Really?

Woman

Yes. And some of our games are for children up to sixteen or seventeen years old.

Mommy

I think my daughter would just like something that is fun to play with. She really loves playing with dolls.

Woman

Oh well, we have lots of nice dolls here. All the girls who come into our shop love our dolls.

Mommy

How about that one, over there?

Woman

Which one?

Mommy

That one. The very big one with the blue hat.

Woman

Oh, yes. That doll is nice, isn’t it? It’s quite expensive because it’s so big, but I think your daughter would really love that doll.

Mommy

I think so, too. I really like its hair. It’s so yellow!

Woman

Yes, and that doll has its own hairbrush. Your daughter can use the hairbrush to brush the doll’s hair. And look here – this doll has seventeen or eighteen beautiful white teeth.

Mommy

Oh, yes. I see.

Woman

Your daughter can brush the doll’s teeth, too. She can wash the doll’s face, and she can put the doll’s clothes on, too. That doll comes with lots of different clothes.

Mommy

All right. I’ll take that doll. Here, I’ll get the money for you.

Woman

Okay. I’ll get all the doll’s clothes and put them in a bag for you. Then, I’ll help you take the doll out to your car.

媽媽

不好意思，打擾一下。

女員工

下午好。你好，我能幫你嗎？

媽媽

下午好。我在給我女兒看禮物。明天是她的生日。

女員工

我知道了。你女兒明天幾歲？

媽媽

九歲。她明天就九歲了。

女員工

嗯，我們這裡有很多遊戲。我們的一些遊戲是老師用來幫助孩子們閱讀和數數的。

媽媽

真的？

女員工

對。我們的一些遊戲是為十六到十七歲的孩子準備的。

媽媽

我想我女兒會喜歡好玩的東西。她真的很喜歡玩洋娃娃。

女員工

哦，我們這裡有很多漂亮的洋娃娃。所有到我們店裡來的女孩都喜歡我們的洋娃娃。

媽媽

那邊那個怎麼樣？

女員工

哪一個？

媽媽

那一個。戴藍色帽子的大娃娃。

女員工

哦，是的。那個洋娃娃很漂亮，對吧？它太大了所有很貴，但是我想你女兒會很喜歡那個洋娃娃的。

媽媽

我也這麼想。我真的很喜歡它的頭髮。顏色很黃！

女員工

是的，這娃娃有自己的梳子。你的女兒可以用梳子梳娃娃的頭髮。看這裡，這個娃娃有十七顆或十八顆美麗的白牙齒。

媽媽

哦，是的。我看到了。

女員工

你女兒也能刷娃娃的牙齒。她給娃娃洗臉，她也可以給娃娃穿衣服。那個洋娃娃有許多不同的衣服。

媽媽

好吧。我要那個洋娃娃。來，我來拿錢。

女員工

可以。我會把所有洋娃娃的衣服都放進你的包裡。然後，我會幫你把娃娃帶到你的車上。
