李陽瘋狂英語突破口語之突破對(duì)話第57課
7、 You Came to the Right Place
你找對(duì)地方了
W: Hi, John.
M: Oh! Hi, Laura. What are you doing here?
W: Uh. I’m usually here on weekends. It’s my dad’s shop. So you are looking for a bike?
M: Yeah. Now that the weather is warming up, I thought I get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time.
W: Well, you came to the right place. Do you know what you would like?
M: Well, I don’t want a racer or a touring bike or anything. Mostly I’ll just be using it to get me back and forth from work.
W: How far is that?
M: About four miles.
W: Are there a lot of hills on the way?
M: Some I guess. But maybe I should tell you at the front that I only got
150 dollars. Can I get anything decent for that?
W: Well, you are not going to get anything top of the line. But we do have
a few trade–ins in the back that are in good condition.
M: That sounds good.
W: And you are right. For the kind of ride you are going to be doing, the
most important thing is comfort. You want to make sure it’s the right
height for you. Follow me and I’ll show you what we’ve got.

【托福特色詞匯】
trade-in 折價(jià)品 [學(xué)生沒有錢，買折價(jià)品是托福中常出現(xiàn)的場(chǎng)景。]
參考譯文
W：嗨，約翰。
M：哦！嗨，勞拉。你在這兒做什么？
W：我周末都在這兒。這是我爸爸的店。你想買輛自行車？
M：是?，F(xiàn)在天氣暖起來了，我想我也該運(yùn)動(dòng)運(yùn)動(dòng)，不要天天坐公車了。
W：那你可找對(duì)地方了。你想要什么樣的？
M：我不想要賽車或是山地車什么的，我只是想買一輛能騎著來回上班的就得了。
W：你上班的地方有多遠(yuǎn)？
M：四英里吧。
W：有山路嗎？
M：有一些。也許我應(yīng)該提前告訴你，我只有150塊錢。能買到一輛象樣的嗎？
W：那你可買不到什么新潮的，我們后面有些折價(jià)的，性能還不錯(cuò)。
M：聽起來不錯(cuò)。
W：你說得對(duì)。像你這種情況最重要的是騎著舒服。你要看看高度適不適合你。跟我來看看這些車。
