Shopkeeper: Yes, everything is on sale.
Customer: Can you recommend something? 96
Shopkeeper: Is this for business or casual (/'kæʒʊəl/非正式的)?
Customer: It’s something for the office.
Shopkeeper: Well, we have some very nice black dresses.
Customer: May I see them?
Shopkeeper: Sure, please come with me.
Shopkeeper: Here are two very nice black dresses. One is fairly (/'fɛrli/相当地) short and the other is ankle (/'æŋkl/踝关节) length.
Customer: They both look very nice.
Shopkeeper: Why don’t you try them on? There’s a dressing room over there.
Customer: Sure, thanks.
Customer: The short one is nice but a bit too sexy for the office. What do you think?
Shopkeeper: It looks very nice on you. If you wear this white jacket with it, it doesn’t show too much.
Customer: Yes, it covers my arms, I like it. How much is it?
Shopkeeper: After the discount, it’s $300.
Customer: 300 dollars? Does that include the white jacket?
Shopkeeper: No, it doesn’t. The white jacket is 150dollars.
Customer: What about the other dress? I’d like to try it on too.
Customer: What do you think?
Shopkeeper: I think it looks great on you. It shows your figure (/'fɪɡjɚ/体形) but not too much.
Customer: I think it’s too big in the waist (/west/腰).
Shopkeeper: We can fix that. We can take it in a bit.
Customer: What about the price?
Shopkeeper: After the discount, it’s 350 dollars.
Customer: If I buy the white jacket too, can you give mea better price?
Shopkeeper: Yes, I think I can give you another 10%discount.
Customer: So, that’s 450 dollars for both of them, right?
Shopkeeper: Yes, that’s right.
Customer: Ok. Could you hold them for a couple of hours?I want my husband to see them. He can help me decide.
Shopkeeper: Ok. I’ll hold them for you until 4:00.
