A:   這款玉鐲我很喜歡。

zhè kuǎn yùzhuó wǒ hěn xǐhuan.

I really like this jade bracelet.

B:   那就買吧。服務員，可以先戴著，待會兒一併付錢吧？

nà jiù mǎi ba. fúwùyuán, kěyǐ xiān dài zhe, dāihuǐr yībìng fùqián ba?

Then let's buy it. Excuse me, can she put it on now, and pay for it later with the rest?

C:   可以。

kěyǐ.

Certainly.

A:   再看看鑽戒。鑽戒買個1克拉的就行了。

zài kàn kan zuànjiè. zuànjiè mǎi gè yī kèlā de jiù xíng le.

Now let's look at diamond rings. One carat is enough for a diamond ring.

B:   1克拉的太普通了，要買就買個大的。

yī kèlā de tài pǔtōng le, yào mǎi jiù mǎi ge dà de.

One carat is too common. If you're going to buy it, buy a big one.

A:   這兩款都拿給我試試。

zhè liǎng kuǎn dōu ná gěi wǒ shì shi.

Let me try on these two.

C:   好。這兩款鑽戒亮度和切工都是最好的。

hǎo. zhè liǎng kuǎn zuànjiè liàngdù hé qiēgōng dōu shì zuì hǎo de.

Sure. The brightness and cut of these two diamond rings is first rate.

A:   戒託是什麼材質的？

jiètuō shì shénme cáizhì de?

What material is the band made of?

C:   鉑金的。戒指上刻著呢，pt950。Pt就是鉑金的標誌。

bójīn de. jièzhi shàng kè zhe ne, pt jiǔwǔlíng. Pt jiùshì bójīn de biāozhì.

It's platinum. It's engraved on the ring: Pt950. Pt is the symbol for platinum.

A:   鉑金和白金有什麼不同？

bójīn hé báijīn yǒu shénme bùtóng?

What's the difference between platinum and white gold?

C:   只有鉑金才可以叫做白金，是一種天然的白色貴金屬。有些地方亂叫，把白色K金也叫做白金，其實是不對的。白色K金是合金，主要成分是黃金。

zhǐyǒu bójīn cái kěyǐ jiàozuò báijīn, shì yī zhǒng tiānrán de báisè guì jīnshǔ. yǒuxiē dìfang luànjiào, bǎ báisè K jīn yě jiàozuò báijīn, qíshí shì bù duì de. báisè K jīn shì héjīn, zhǔyào chéngfèn shì huángjīn.

Only platinum can truly be called a "white metal." It's a naturally-occurring white precious metal. Some places confuse things by saying that white gold is a "white metal," but it's not really. White gold is an alloy mainly composed of gold.

A:   哦，這樣啊。老公，這兩款都好看，我都喜歡。你覺得哪一款好呢？

ò, zhèyàng a. lǎogōng, zhè liǎng kuǎn dōu hǎokàn, wǒ dōu xǐhuan. nǐ juéde nǎ yī kuǎn hǎo ne?

Oh, I see. Honey, these two are both really nice; I like them both. Which do you think is better?

B:   那就兩個都買吧。還想要什麼？

nā jiù liǎng ge dōu mǎi ba. hái xiǎng yào shénme?

Then just get them both. What else do you want?

A:   不買了。光這幾樣就幾十萬了。

bù mǎi le. guāng zhè jǐ yàng jiù jǐ shí wàn le.

Nothing else. It's going to be in the hundreds of thousands just for these things.

B:   沒關係。你能看上的，儘管買。那條項鍊也試試。對戒今天也買了吧。

méiguānxi. nǐ néng kànshàng de, jǐnguǎn mǎi. nà tiáo xiàngliàn yě shì shi. duìjiè jīntiān yě mǎi le ba.

No matter. Just buy whatever strikes your fancy. Try on that necklace. Let's get matching rings today too.

C:   這些首飾都是最頂級的！好東西戴起來一看就上檔次。以後還能當作傳家寶！

zhèxiē shǒushì dōu shì zuì dǐngjí de! hǎo dōngxi dài qǐlái yī kàn jiù shàng dàngcì. yǐhòu hái néng dàngzuò chuánjiābǎo!

This jewelry is of the highest quality. When you're wearing fine merchandise, your class is immediately apparent. In the future it can also become a family heirloom.

A:   呵呵，看起來珠光寶氣的，會不會很俗啊？

hēhē, kàn qǐlái zhūguāngbǎoqì de, huì bu huì hěn sú a?

Heh heh, I'm so covered in jewels. Do you think it's too much?

B:   不會，挺好的。老婆，你在這裡休息一下，我去付錢。

bùhuì, tǐng hǎo de. lǎopó, nǐ zài zhèlǐ xiūxi yīxià, wǒ qù fùqián.

No, it's great. Honey, you take a rest here. I'll go pay.

A:   好的。

hǎo de.

OK.

C:   收銀臺在那邊，我帶你過去。小吳，你幫小姐把首飾都包好。

shōuyíntái zài nàbiān, wǒ dài nǐ guòqu. Xiǎo Wú, nǐ bāng xiǎojie bǎ shǒushì dōu bāo hǎo.

The checkout counter is this way; let me take you there. Xiao Wu, wrap up the jewelry for the lady.

A:   不用包了，我就戴著吧！你給我個袋子把首飾盒裝好就行。

bùyòng bāo le, wǒ jiù dài zhe ba! nǐ gěi wǒ ge dàizi bǎ shǒushìhé zhuāng hǎo jiù xíng.

No need to wrap it. I want to wear it! Just give me a bag to put the jewelry cases in.

D:   啊，那女的跑了！

ǎ, nà nǚde pǎo le!

Huh? That woman ran off!

B:   別喊，再喊我開槍了！

bié hǎn, zài hǎn wǒ kāiqiāng le!

Don't yell. If you yell again, I'll shoot!

D:   啊，搶劫啦！

à, qiǎngjié la!

This is a robbery?!
