今天,我需要一张新的照片。我想去照相馆。以前我不太喜欢拍照,因为我总是觉得有点紧张。但是这次,我想拍一张漂亮的照片。我找到了一个照相馆,叫“幸福瞬间”。名字很好听。我进去的时候,里面很安静。一个女的,可能是摄影师,微笑着对我说:“你好!” 我也微笑着说:“你好,请问,我想拍照。” 她点点头,说:“好的,你一个人吗?” 我说:“是的,我一个人。” 她指了指一个座位,说:“请坐。” 我坐下来,心里想,希望这次能拍好。

  • 一个人 — one person; alone, 我一个人。
  • 请坐 — please sit, 她说:“请坐。”, Now, let's see what happens next at the photo studio.

摄影师很专业。她先问我:“你喜欢自然的照片吗?” 我说:“是的,我喜欢自然的。” 她开始准备相机。她指导我怎么坐,怎么看镜头。她说:“看这里,笑一笑!” 在中国,人们拍照的时候常常会说“茄子!”来让自己微笑。我试着放松,但是还是有点紧张。拍了几张后,她给我看照片。我看到照片,真的很惊喜!她说:“这张照片很好,你喜欢吗?” 我说:“是的,我非常喜欢!谢谢你。” 她拍得真好,我很满意这次的体验。我终于有了一张漂亮的新照片。
