生活英語情景口語:定製西服

推薦人：來源: 閱讀: 1.83W 次大中小

J: can you help me pick out some fabric for a suit? I'm going to get one made for a friend's wedding.
R: sure. What kind of material do you want for the suit to be made from?
J: it depends on the price, but I was thinking of getting a wool/cashmere blend.
R: that will probably be quite expensive, but the more you pay for the fabric, the longer it'll last and the better it'll look. What color do you want the suit to be?
J: I was thinking of a brown pin-striped suit.
R: brown, huh? Isn't that a bit dull?
J: haven't you heard? Brown is the new black.
R: why don't you just get black? Black suits are always fashionable and can be worn for anything—a funeral, a wedding, a job interview—anything!
J: that may be true, but black is so boring. Anyway, I already have three black suits. I might as well get a suit that stands out from the rest.
R: here are two different shades of brown. Which one do you prefer?
J: I like the one on the left, but I don't like the pattern on it. It's too much. I want a pattern that's a bit subtler.
R: how about this one?
J: I think that will do. Let's go talk to the tailor about getting it made.
R: ok, let's go.

你能幫我挑塊布料做套裝嗎？我要做身衣服去參加一個朋友的婚禮。
當然可以。你想要什麼料子的？
這取決於價格，但是我希望是羊毛和羊絨混紡的。
那可會非常貴，但是你用的料子越貴，衣服就越經穿，而且還非常漂亮。你想做什麼顏色的？
我正在考慮棕色上紋有細線紋的。
棕色的，啊？會不會有點太暗了？
你沒聽說過嗎？棕色是一種新興的黑色。
那你幹嘛不做件黑的？黑色西服一直都很時尚，而且適用於任何場合—葬禮，婚禮，面試---什麼場合都行！
是這樣沒錯，但是黑色有點單調了。不管怎麼說，我已經有三件黑西服了。我還是希望能跟其他人不一樣。
這兒有兩種暗紋的棕色布料。你比較喜歡哪一個？
我喜歡左邊那個，但是我不喜歡它上面的圖案。圖案太複雜了。我喜歡簡單含蓄一點的。
那這個怎麼樣？
這個還不錯，咱們去找裁縫做吧。
好的，走吧。
