汉生:乐乐,你说的那个蛋糕店在哪儿啊?怎么都是服装店啊? 乐乐:就在购物中心的二层。别着急,时间还早呢,先陪我去服装店逛逛。 汉生:我最怕陪女孩子逛街、逛商场了,逛起来没完没了的,特别恐怖! 乐乐:逛街嘛,当然要慢慢走、慢慢看、慢慢选。 汉生:要是真买点什么也就罢了,可常常是逛了半天,衣服、鞋子试了一堆,最后什么也不买。 乐乐:你们男人就是不懂得享受购物的乐趣。 汉生:错!我们懂得享受购物的乐趣,只是不懂得享受"只逛街不购物"的乐趣! 乐乐:这就是你们的可悲之处啊!花钱买东西谁不会?真正的乐趣在于购物的过程,也就是"逛",而不在于买了什么。用最少的钱获得最大的乐趣,这才是最高的境界! 汉生:那简直就是浪费时间嘛!我都是先想好自己要买什么、哪里有卖的,然后就直接跑到那个地方买,买了赶紧走。像你们逛来逛去又不买,又累又无聊。 乐乐:这你就不懂了。女人逛街,就像男人看球。你们熬夜看球赛,自己也不上场,还跟着大呼小叫的,怎么不觉得无聊不觉得累? 汉生:这两者怎么能比呢? 乐乐:怎么不能比?都是一种爱好、一种休闲方式,也可以说是一种宣泄的方式。 汉生:咳,你说得还头头是道的。 乐乐:行了行了,别说这个了。快来帮我看看这件衣服怎么样,不错吧? 汉生:不错,挺适合你的。 乐乐:好,那就买这一件了。 汉生:你不是说只逛不买吗? 乐乐:该出手时就出手!女人的心思你永远都不懂! 汉生:你还记得咱们是来干什么的吗?该去订生日蛋糕了! 乐乐:差点儿把正事儿忘了!快走,一会回来继续逛。 Han Sheng: Le Le, where is the birthday cake shop you mentioned? It's all shops for clothes.
Le Le: It's on the second floor of the shopping mall. Don't worry. It's still early now. Why not do some shopping with me?
Han Sheng: I hate shopping with girls most. You guys keep on endless wandering. It's a nightmare.
Le Le: As to shopping, of course, we walk slowly, watch and select things carefully.
Han Sheng: It's ok if you buy something. But usually, you guys try on lots of clothes and shoes for a long time and then buy nothing.
Le Le: You guys never understand the fun of shopping.
Han Sheng: No. We understand the fun of shopping. But we don't understand the fun of shopping nothing.
Le Le: That's why I said you're pitiable. It's easy for everybody to spend money. The real fun is the process of shopping, which is just wandering around. Get most joy with least money. That's ideal state.
Han Sheng: It's a waste of time. I usually think about what I need and where is it. Then go to the place directly. When I finish shopping I would leave there as soon as possible. You guys wandering around and buy nothing, how tired and boring.
Le Le: It's hard for you to understand. Women do window shopping is just like you guys staying up to watch football games. You don't play football by yourself, but you still cheers with the game. Why don't you think it's tired and boring?
Han Sheng: How can you compare these two things?
Le Le: Why not? They're all hobbies,
entertainment style and a way to
refresh ourselves.
Han Sheng: Well, you did a very powerful speech.
Le Le: Ok, ok, change a topic. Have a look at the dress How about it? Nice?
Han Sheng: Nice, it fits you very much.
Le Le: Ok. Then I will buy this one.
Han Sheng: You said you enjoy window shopping.
Le Le: Doing what needs to be done. You never understand women.
Han Sheng: Do you remember why we come here? It's time to book a birthday cake.
Le Le: I almost forget about it. Let's go. We will come back shopping after a while.
Lesson Summary:
Soon it will be good friend Wang Li's birthday, Hansheng leading Lele to begin looking for Wang Li's birthday cake, but ......did they find it? Lesson Content: Hansheng: Where did you say the bakery is? How come all are clothing stores?
Lele: They're on the second floor of the shopping centre. Don't worry, it's still early, first come with me to go window shopping the clothing stores.
H: I'm afraid of accompanying girls to go shopping, especially when the shopping is still not done over.
L: Of course, when shopping one has to go slow, look slowly and slowly choose.
H: If you really want to buy whatever, that's all. After having shopped half a day, clothing, shoes, quite a pile, in the end not buying anything.
L: You guys don't know how to enjoy the fun of shopping.
H: Wrong! We know how to enjoy shopping, only we don't know how to enjoy the fun of "just shopping"!
L: This is just your
lamentable position, eh! Who wouldn't want to spend money to buy things? The real fun is in the process of shopping,i.e. "to stroll", rather than what's bought, with the least money get the most fun, at the highest level!
H: Well, that's simply a waste of time! I always think what to buy for myself, where it's sold, then go to the place to buy directly, buy and hurry back. It looks like you hang about, without buying. It's
tiresome and boring as well.
L: You just don't understand. Women go shopping, just like men watching games. You stay up late to watch a match, you don't play yourself, still you yell following the match. How come you don't get bored or feel tired?
H: How can you compare these two?
L: How can't they be compared? They're both hobbies, a form of relaxation. It can also be said it's a way to unburden oneself.
H: Oh, what you say is clear and logical.
L: Ok,ok, don't say that. Come and help me. How do you find this dress, ok?
H: Ok, quite right for you.
L: Well, I'll buy this one then.
H: Didn't you say you don't buy, just visiting?
L: This can act! You'll never understand a woman's mind!
H: Do you remember what we come here for? We were out to order a birthday cake!
L: Almost forgot to get down to business! Come on, we'll come back to visit!
