A：What a nice dress,Jean.You look marvelous !

瓊，多漂亮的衣服。你真美!

B：You, too. Where did you get your new hat?

你也很漂亮。你的帽子在哪兒買的?

A：From the Crown's. Oh, what lovely earrings you have! Are they diamond?

在皇冠商店。喲，你的耳環(huán)太漂亮了!是鉆石的嗎?

B：Yes. It's a birthday present from my husband !

是的，是我丈夫送給我的生日禮物。

A：Well, you are lucky to have such a considerate husband. Mine hasn't brought me a single rose since we married.

有這么體貼的丈夫你可真運(yùn)氣。自結(jié)婚以來我那位再也沒有給我送過一朵玫瑰。

B：He'll come out with surprises. Just wait and see. Look at that woman,with the white chiffon !

他會(huì)讓你驚喜的，你就等著瞧好了。看!那有個(gè)穿白紗裙的女人!

A：She's chic,isn't she?

挺時(shí)髦，是吧?

B：Yes.I like the dress. It must be the latest fashion. Look, the hem has lowered, and the waist narrowed.

是的。我喜歡這樣的衣服。一定是最新款式?？?裙邊放低;腰身也收得緊緊的。

A：It makes me feel rather shabby. That woman has a good taste in dressing, I would say.

相比之下我覺得自己穿得很寒酸。我覺得這個(gè)女人很會(huì)穿衣服。

B：Yes. She dressed with an individual flair. I rather envy her.

是啊，她的穿戴很有個(gè)人風(fēng)格，我真有點(diǎn)兒嫉妒她了。

A：Most women follow fashion like sheep.They don't know any better than imitate.

大多數(shù)女人都盲目追趕時(shí)裝潮流，只知道一味地模仿。

B：I quite agree with you.See the woman there? I dare say she hasn't got any eyes. How could she match the mauve gown with the green handbag? And all that jewelry !

我太同意你說的了。看見那邊那個(gè)女人了嗎?我敢說她沒有什么眼光。她竟然用綠手袋配紫裙，還戴著那些珠寶!

A：The gown is quite expensive,believe me.

我想那件長裙一定很貴的。

B：So what? It only makes her look cheap and vulgar.

那又怎么樣?反倒使她看起來更沒品位，更俗氣。

A：You know those upstarts. They're all show-offs!I think I'd better have a diet; otherwise I'd look like a ballon soon.

你知道，那些暴發(fā)戶們都是些好出風(fēng)頭的人。我想我該減肥了，不然我就會(huì)胖得像個(gè)氣球了。

B：You're quite slim. In fact,if you were one of those starlets, the movie company would say you have a fabulous figure.

你很苗條嘛。實(shí)際上，如果你是個(gè)新星，電影公司會(huì)說你的身材棒極了。

A：Thanks. I'm flattered.

謝謝，我真有點(diǎn)受寵若驚了。

B：Oh, my shoes pinch me. Let's find a seat and sit a while.

哦，我的鞋把我的腳夾疼了，我們快找個(gè)位子坐會(huì)兒吧。
