(早上好,我能为您做点什么?)
Daphne: No, thanks. We are just looking around.

Daphne: OK, thanks. We will.

Spring: Oh,Daphne, the clothes here are expensive! No wonder there are only a few people in here.
(哦,Daphne,这儿的衣服真贵!难怪这儿没什么人。)
Daphne: Beauty costs, friend. Oh, look at this pink skirt, how cute!
(美丽的代价啊,朋友。噢,看看这条粉红色的裙子,好可爱啊!)
Spring: Believe it or not, they look cute, but not very practical.
(不管你信不信,它们看起来漂亮,可是不怎么实用。)

语言剖析

1. We are just looking around.
We are just looking around. 我们只是看一看
另外一个表达,We are just browsing.也表示我们就先看一看 非常的实用,国外商场奢侈品很多,服务员也很热情,不过你暂时还买不起名贵的包包,香水,衣服啊,你可以说well,I am just looking around.或者I am just browsing.看看也无妨嘛!

2. Take your time
Take your time 我不打扰你,请随便
比如你家里举办生日宴会,老外朋友早早就到了,但是2个小时之后才开饭,你还得接待其他的亲朋好友,这时你可以说,Take your time,we will not have lunch until 2 hours latter.悠着点,在我们家先看看,我们两小时之后开饭呢

3. let me know
let me know 告诉我
Please let me know if you need any help.如果您需要帮助的话请告诉我。这也是一个很好的表达,let sb know比tell sb表达更礼貌,比如你认识一个刚到中国的老外朋友,到这里人生地不熟,可能上网买个东西都需要帮忙,但是如果你说Please tell me know if you need any help.会让人有一种有求于人的感觉,不如Please let me know if you need any help.更加友好,礼貌。同时表达也更丰富。

4. No wonder
No wonder 难怪
You never work wonder is so difficult for you to learn English!你从来都不张嘴练习,难怪口语难以提升呢!Wonder还有奇迹的意思,Seven wonders in the world 世界七大奇迹,还有一个单词miracle,也表示奇迹,a miracle drug 灵丹妙药

5. Beauty costs
Beauty costs 美丽的代价
你的朋友为了漂亮,吃减肥药保持身材,结果搞坏了身体,你也可以感叹Beauty costs.这就是追求美丽的代价啊。

6. Believe it or not, they look cute, but not very practical.
Believe it or not 信不信由你 ;practical 实用的
Believe it or not,English is getting more and more important.不管你信不信,英语正变得越来越重要。你相信我吗?我们一般不用Do you believe me?而用Do you trust me?泰坦尼克号中杰克和肉丝的一段经典对白就用了这个表达,在船头上,Jack问Rose,Do you trust me?Rose深情的回答,I trust you.
Practical 是实用的的意思,Practical ability实践能力,Practical English实战英语

7. I'm sure this is the same skirt that Spice Girl wear.
I'm sure 我肯定
You never work wonder is so difficult for you to learn English!I'm sure 表示我肯定,也可以用上一节课我们学到的单词bet,I bet this is the same skirt that Spice Girl wear.我敢打赌这是辣妹中的一人穿过的。语气更坚定,更强烈。 Spice Girl是英国非常有名的女子乐队的组合,英文歌wannabe就是出自Spice Girl。

8. Definitely
Definitely 是的,没错
Definitely! 表示对对方说话的肯定,在口语当中很常用,另外一个单词exactly,也可以用来表示同意对方的观点。
