DIALOGUE 41:In a Department Store
1--Yes, madam. Can I help you?
2--Yes, please. Yesterday my daughter bought this
skirt from this shop. I'd like to change it. Here,
I've got the receipt.
1--What's the problem?
2--I'm afraid it doesn't fit. It's a size 12 and it's
too small.
1--Mm. Then perhaps you ought to try a size 14.
注解:
1)receipt:收据,发货票。
2)ought:应该,应当。情态动词,其后接带to的不定式动词。
译文:
1--您有什么事吗,夫人?
2--是的。昨天我女儿在这家商店买了这条裙子,我
想换一条。这是发票。
1--有什么问题吗?
2--恐怕有点不合适。裙子是12号的,太小了。
1--啊,那么也许你该试一下14号的。
