你喜欢玩玩具吗?在商店里,你看到一个很可爱的玩具,你想买它。你会怎么说?今天,我们将一起学习如何用中文问价格,然后买下你喜欢的东西。你会知道怎么说‘我想买这个’。准备好了吗?

我今天去了一个地方。这是一个玩具店。哇,玩具店里有很多玩具!我看到红色的汽车,还有很多漂亮的娃娃。一个小女孩正在玩一个火车玩具。我走过去,看到一个大大的熊,它有蓝色的眼睛,很可爱。我拿起那个熊,感觉它很软。我真的很喜欢它。我想买这个熊。商店里的人走过来了。我对她笑了笑。她也对我笑了笑。我指着熊,心里想:‘这个多少钱?’

Let's pause our story for a moment to look at some useful words and phrases from that scene.

  • 玩具店 — toy shop, 我去玩具店。
  • 很多 — a lot of, 这里有很多玩具。
  • 玩具 — toy, 我喜欢玩具。
  • 喜欢 — to like, 我喜欢这个熊。
  • 想买 — to want to buy, 我想买这个。
  • 多少钱 — how much money, 这个多少钱?, 现在,我们回到玩具店,继续我们的故事吧!

我看着商店里的人,然后指着那个熊,说:“你好,这个多少钱?” 她说:“这个熊,三十块钱。” 三十块钱?嗯,我有点犹豫。这个价格对我来说有点高。在中国商店里,有时候你可以试着问有没有折扣,但是对这种小玩具,通常直接付款。我G了想,决定还是买它。我真的很喜欢它!我说:“好的,我要买这个。” 她笑了笑,带我到收银台。我付了钱。拿到新玩具,我心里很高兴。今天真是美好的一天!
