你想在中国纹身吗?你喜欢什么图案?你担心会很疼吗?今天,你会学习如何在纹身店和纹身师交流,表达你的想法。你会知道怎么说‘我想要一个纹身’和‘这个多少钱’。

今天,我很高兴。我走进一家纹身店。这是我第一次纹身,所以有点紧张。店里很安静,只有音乐。一位纹身师走过来,他很友好。他说:“你好,欢迎。你想纹什么?” 我看着墙上的图案,很多很漂亮。我指着一个小的花朵图案说:“你好,我想要这个。可以吗?” 纹身师点点头,然后问我:“你喜欢什么颜色?黑色还是彩色?” 我想了想,黑色看起来很酷。我说:“我想纹黑色。” 纹身师拿出一本大册子,里面有很多花朵的图片。他问:“你想要纹在哪里?手臂还是腿?”

Let's pause our story for a moment and look at some useful phrases from what you just heard.

  • 纹身 — tattoo, 我想纹身。
  • 第一次 — first time, 这是我第一次纹身。
  • 图案 — design/pattern, 我喜欢这个图案。
  • 颜色 — color, 你喜欢什么颜色?
  • 黑色 — black color, 我想要黑色。
  • 纹在哪里 — tattoo where?, 你想纹在哪里?, 好,现在我们回到纹身店,看看接下来发生了什么。

我说:“纹在手臂上。” 纹身师给我看了一些手臂上的花朵纹身图片。他问:“你怕疼吗?” 我有点担心,我说:“有一点点疼吗?” 他笑着说:“没关系,会有点疼,但不会太久。” 然后他告诉我纹身需要的时间和多少钱。他说:“大约两个小时,一共八百块。” 我觉得价格可以接受。我们确定了图案和大小,然后他说:“你需要提前预约吗?我们今天很忙。” 我说:“没关系,我明天可以来。” 他帮我预约了明天下午。离开纹身店的时候,我感觉很兴奋。我很期待我的第一个纹身!
