你想买一件特别的衣服吗?但是不想花很多钱?今天,我们要去一个很棒的地方!在那里,你可以找到很多有意思的东西,而且价格很便宜。你准备好了吗?听完这集,你就能用中文问价格,买到自己喜欢的东西了!

今天天气很好,我决定去慈善商店。我喜欢找旧东西。商店里有很多衣服、书和家具。我看到一件红色的毛衣,很好看。我想:‘这件毛衣很漂亮!’ 我拿起它,摸了摸,感觉很舒服。旁边有一个蓝色的小包,也很可爱。我不知道哪一个更好。我问店员:‘这件毛衣多少钱?’ 店员笑着说了一个数字。我觉得有点贵。我又看到一条牛仔裤,颜色很新。我拿起牛仔裤,也想问问价格。

Let's pause the story for a moment to look at some key phrases we just heard.

  • 慈善商店 (císhàn shāngdiàn) — charity shop, 我要去慈善商店。
  • 衣服 (yīfu) — clothes, 商店里有很多衣服。
  • 多少钱 (duōshao qián) — how much, 这件毛衣多少钱?
  • 漂亮 (piàoliang) — beautiful/pretty, 这件毛衣很漂亮。
  • 便宜 (piányi) — cheap, 我喜欢买便宜的东西。
  • 喜欢 (xǐhuan) — like, 我喜欢这件衣服。, 现在,我们继续去慈善商店看看还会发生什么!

店员告诉我,牛仔裤的价格是五十块。嗯,五十块钱,有点贵,但是这件裤子很新。我想了想,问店员:‘可以便宜一点吗?’ 在中国,有时候可以讲价,但在慈善商店,价格通常是固定的。店员对我说:‘对不起,这是固定价格。’ 没关系!我决定买这件牛仔裤。我觉得它很适合我。我又看了一会儿,没有找到其他特别喜欢的东西。我去付钱,店员给我一个袋子。我拿着我的新‘旧’裤子,心里很高兴。今天真是收获满满的一天!

现在,让我们一起来练习这些句子,提高你的口语。

  • 我喜欢去慈善商店。— I like to go to the charity shop.
  • 商店里有很多衣服和书。— There are many clothes and books in the shop.
  • 这件毛衣很漂亮。— This sweater is very beautiful.
  • 这件衣服多少钱?— How much is this piece of clothing?
  • 我想买这件牛仔裤。— I want to buy these jeans.
  • 今天真是收获满满的一天!— Today was truly a day full of gains!, 你做得很好!继续努力,你会越来越棒!
