Todd: Okay, so I'm here with Jen and we're talking about clothing. Now, Jen, I'm a bit older than you, so I probably don't really care about what I wear so much. I always kind of pay the same price for my clothing. So I'm wondering, what's it like for a younger person? How much are you willing to pay? What is your price range?
托德:我和珍要来谈谈衣服。珍,我的年龄比你大一些,我可能不太在乎穿什么。我的衣服都是花同样的价钱买的。我想知道年轻人是什么情况?你愿意花多少钱买衣服?你能接受的价格范围是多少?
Jen: It depends upon like what you're buying. For example, if it's a pair of jeans then I would pay around 4,000 yen, that's Japanese yen. $40?
珍:这要取决于买什么衣服。举例来说,如果是牛仔裤,那4000日元左右我可以接受。大概40美元?
Todd: Oh really? That's still relatively cheap. Like some people pay like $100, right? Or $200.
托德:哦,真的吗?那相当便宜了。有些人愿意花100美元,对吧?或者200美元。
Jen: I don't think I would ever pay that much because I'm a student right now, so paying more than that would be something I wouldn't do.
珍:我认为我不会花那么多钱,因为我现在还是学生,我不会花超过40美元的价格买牛仔裤,我接受不了。
Todd: Well what about in your home country of Nepal? How much would people pay for pants there?
托德:嗯,那你的祖国尼泊尔呢?尼泊尔人会花多少钱买裤子?
Jen: In Nepal, like compared to Japan, it's really cheap there. You can actually get a really decent pant in 1,500 yen.
珍:和日本相比,尼泊尔的商品价格非常便宜。1500日元就能买一条相当不错的裤子。
Todd: That's like $15.
托德:大概15美元。
Jen: Yes.
珍:对。
Todd: Around. Oh that's good. What's the cheapest you would pay? I mean, I guess you could get stuff for free, but what's the lowest you pay for clothes? Or for pants? For pants?
托德:15美元左右。哦,那真不错。你买的最便宜的衣服多少钱?我猜你可能能得到免费商品,不过你买的最便宜的衣服是多少钱?或者说裤子,最便宜的裤子花了多少钱?
Jen: Okay, so sometimes when there's a sale and especially if there's shorts then you can just get it for like 500 yen.
珍:好,有时有折扣,尤其是短裤非常便宜,500日元就能买一条短裤。
Todd: Oh wow. Five bucks.
托德:哇哦。那大概是5美元。
Jen: Like five bucks, yeah.
珍:5美元左右,对。
Todd: That's good. Now what about shoes? Do you have a lot of shoes?
托德:不错。那鞋呢?你的鞋多吗?
Jen: Yes I do.
珍:很多。
Todd: Okay, for some people like shoes they spend a lot of money on shoes. I have a rule, unless it's dress shoes for work, I don't like to spend anything over $100. If it's athletic shoes, like sneakers, never more than $50. Ever.
托德:好,有些人很喜欢鞋子,他们会花很多钱买鞋。我有个原则,除非是上班要穿的鞋,否则我不会花超过100美元买鞋。如果是运动鞋,那从来没有超过50美元。从来没有。
Jen: Okay.
珍:好。
Todd: Like how much do you on average pay for shoes?
托德:你平均花多少钱买鞋?
Jen: I think it's different for girls, because our shoes range from $10 to, you know, a lot of money.
珍:我想女孩的情况不太一样,因为我们买的鞋价格可能最低只有10美元,但也可能会很贵。
Todd: What's the most you've ever paid for a pair of shoes?
托德:你最贵的一双鞋多少钱?
Jen: $100.
珍:100美元。
Todd: Oh really? That's not too bad.
托德:真的吗?那不算太贵。
Jen: Yeah, it's not bad at all.
珍:对,一点儿也不贵。
Todd: Yeah, no, that's good. Kind of good range. How about the cheapest? Five bucks?
托德:对,不贵。算是合理的价格。那最便宜的鞋呢?5美元吗?
Jen: Not five bucks, maybe 10 bucks, yeah.
珍:不是5美元,可能10美元吧。
Todd: 10 bucks, yeah. All right. I don't even know if I could find shoes for five dollars. They'd fall apart, right?
托德:10美元。好。我甚至不知道能不能找到5美元的鞋。那么便宜的鞋会裂开的,是吧?
Jen: You can, though.
珍:可以买到。
Todd: Oh yeah?
托德:是吗?
Jen: Yeah. On sale you can even get it in like three bucks.
珍:对,打折时甚至3美元就能买到一双鞋。
