汉生：乐乐，又去购物了？你可真是个名副其实的"购物狂"啊！ 乐乐：我今天是给家人买新年礼物去了，顺便也给自己买件新衣服，新年穿新衣嘛！ 汉生：怎么样？东西都买齐了吧？ 乐乐：别提了，我今天真是倒霉。我要去的那家专卖店很难找，我一边问路一边找，费了好大劲才找到。进去一问，我想要的那款羽绒服已经卖光了，暂时没货。东西没有买到不说，天气还这么冷，差点把我冻成冰棍。 汉生：下次逛街一定要多穿点衣服，当心感冒。别"只要风度，不要温度"啊！ 乐乐：我也后悔呢，应该听听天气预报再出门的。幸好买到了给家人的礼物，要不然真是白跑了。 汉生：噢？是吗？你都给家人买了什么好东西？ 乐乐：来，让我给你秀一下。这是送给妈妈的保暖内衣；我爸爸喜欢喝茶，这是特意给他买的龙井茶；还有，这个是送给妹妹的手套和围巾。 汉生：没想到你还这么孝顺、贴心啊！有你这样的女儿，你爸妈肯定特别开心！ 乐乐：行了行了，不要拍马屁了，刚刚是谁说我是购物狂来着？对了，你有没有给父母准备什么礼物？ 汉生：我今年不打算在家里过年...... 乐乐：不在家里过年？那你想去哪里啊？难道你要去拜见未来的岳父岳母？不对啊，你不是没有女朋友嘛！ 汉生：乐乐，你可真是个急性子，先听我把话说完啊！我准备和父母一起出去旅游。二老说，城市里的环境已经呆腻了，感觉生活越来越没意思，连过年都没什么味道了，都麻木了。与其像往年一样在家里过年，还不如全家人一起去旅行。既可以增进感情，又可以欣赏大自然的美景，真正得到放松。 乐乐：嗯，说的也是。辛苦一年了，春节旅游还真是个犒劳自己的好办法。 汉生：至于礼物嘛，现在商场人山人海的，实在是太挤了。我还是"网购"吧，可以直接把礼物送到家里，多好！ 乐乐：还是你聪明啊，我怎么没有想到呢！代我向家里人问好，祝他们身体健康，心想事成！ 汉生：我先代二老谢谢你了，也祝伯父伯母新年快乐，万事如意，祝妹妹学业有成！ HS: LeLe, you went shopping again? You really live up to the word shopaholic!
LL: Today I went shopping for New Year's gifts for my family and on the way I got myself some new clothes. New clothes to go with the new year!
HS: So how did it go? Is your shopping all done?
LL: You have to bring it up, I was really unlucky today. I wanted to go to this specialty store and it was so hard to find it. I asked for directions along the way and only managed to find it after much effort. When I went in the store and asked for the down jacket that I wanted, it was all sold out, it was temporarily out of stock. Not only I didn't manage to buy what I set out for, the weather was so cold I was almost frozen like an ice lolly.
HS: Next time when you go shopping, you should put on extra clothing, take care not to catch a cold. Don't just dress for style, you must also dress according to the temperature!
LL: I really regret that I didn't listen to the weather forecast before leaving the house. It's really fortunate that I managed to buy gifts for my family, otherwise, I'd have run around in vain.
HS: Oh? What did you get for them?
LL: Come, let me show you. This keep-warm undergarment is for my mom; my dad likes to drink tea, so I purposely got him Long Jing Tea; the gloves and scarf is for my younger sis.
HS: I never thought that you're so filial and thoughtful! Surely your parents are very happy to have a daugther like you!
LL: Ok, enough of that, quit flattering, who said I was a shopaholic just now? Say, do you have any gifts for your parents?
HS: I don't intend to celebrate New Year's at home this year...
LL: You're not celebrating New Year's at home? Then where are you celebrating New Year's? Don't tell me you're going to call on your future father-in-law? That can't be it, you don't have a girlfriend yet!
HS: LeLe, you're really excitable, let me finish first! I'm planning to go on a tour with my parents. My parents said that they're tired of city life, they feel that it's increasingly meaningless, even the New Year's celebration doesn't have much flavor, there's just no more feeling. So instead of celebrating New Year's at home like previous years, we might as well go on a tour together. We can strengthen our family ties and enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature at the same time, it's really relaxing.
LL: Yea, that's true. After toiling all year round, going for a tour during the New Year's is a good way to reward ourselves.
HS: As for the presents, the shopping malls are full of people, it's just too crowded. I'll just buy online and have it delivered to my doorstep, isn't that just great!
LL: You're really smart, why didn't I think of that! Please send my regards to your family, may they have good health and may all their dreams come true!
HS: Let me thank you in advance on behalf of my parents, also, I'd like to wish uncle and aunty a Happy New Year, may everything go according to their wishes, and for your little sister, may she have accomplishment in her studies!
