One more thing: do you want to watch this video with subtitles 还有一件事:你想看带字幕的视频吗?You can!可以的!Turn them on now by clicking the 'CC' icon; on a phone, find the subtitles by tapping the settings button on your screen.点击“CC”图标就可以打开;在手机上点击屏幕上的设置按钮即可打开字幕。Now, let's start your lesson.现在,让我们开始课程吧。Hey — nice shirt!嘿——衬衫很漂亮!Thanks!谢谢!Is it new 新买的吗?Yes, I bought it last week on Asos.是的,我上周在 Asos 上买的。
I've heard of Asos, but I've never actually ordered anything from there.我听说过 Asos,但我没从上面买过任何东西。
Would you recommend it 你推荐吗?Yes, I think it's great.是的,我觉得很棒。I use it at least once a month.我每月至少使用一次。They have a huge range of clothes and the prices are very reasonable.他们有各种各样的衣服,而且价格非常合理。
Some people say their customer service is a nightmare, but I've never had any trouble.有些人说他们的客户服务很差,但我从来没有遇到过什么问题。Where do you shop for clothes if you don't use Asos 如果你不使用 Asos 的话,会在哪里买衣服呢?Well, I used to shop at Next, which is a shop I've always liked.嗯,我之前是在 Next 买,这家商店我一直很喜欢。
Their clothes have always been quite expensive, but over the last year or two the quality has been going downhill.他们的衣服一直挺贵的,但在过去一两年里质量一直在走下坡路。
So recently I started shopping at Zara.所以最近我开始在 Zara 买衣服。I think the clothes are much better value for money.我认为这些衣服都很物有所值。OK, so you would recommend Zara as a good place to shop 好的,那你推荐去 Zara 买衣服吗?Yes. So far, so good.是的。
到现在为止还挺好的。I only started using their website two months ago, mind you… Here's a question: do you know which prepositions to use when you talk about online shopping 不过要提醒你一下,我两个月前才开始使用他们的网站……这里有一个问题:当你谈论在线购物时,你知道要使用哪些介词吗?When we talk about physical shops, we use 'at' — so you can say, for example, 'I bought it at Walmart'.如果我们谈论实体店的话,会使用“at”——例如,你可以说“我在沃尔玛买的”。When we talk about online shops, we usually use 'on' — so you can say 'I bought it on Amazon'.当我们谈论在线商店时,通常会使用“on”——所以你可以说“我在亚马逊上买的”。This is because we talk about being on a website.这是因为我们谈论的是在网站上。
We also say, 'I bought it online' or 'I bought it on the internet'.我们也会说,“我在网上买的”。We often hear students making mistakes with these phrases, so be careful!我们经常听到学生用这些短语的时候会犯错,所以要小心哦!In the dialogue, you heard some vocabulary to talk about online shopping.在对话中,你听到了一些谈论在线购物的词汇。Look at some phrases you heard.看看你听到的一些短语。What do these phrases mean 这些短语是什么意思?Could you explain the meanings in English 你能用英文解释一下意思吗?Try it now!现在就试试吧!Pause the video.暂停视频。
Imagine you're an English teacher, and you need to explain what these phrases mean in English.假设你是一名英语老师,你需要用英语解释这些短语的含义。What would you say 你打算说什么?Pause the video and say your definitions aloud.暂停视频并大声说出你的定义。How was it 怎么样?Could you do it 你能完成吗?'A huge range' means that they have many different products.“范围很广”意思是他们有许多不同的产品。For clothes, this would mean that they offer many different items, different styles, colours, and so on.对于衣服来说,这意味着他们会提供很多不同的种类、不同的款式、颜色等等。
'Reasonable' means 'fair'.“Reasonable”是“合理的”的意思。If the prices are reasonable, they're not too high.如果价格合理的话,那就不会太高。It doesn't mean that the website is cheap, but if you use the word 'reasonable', you probably mean that something is good value for money.这并不意味着这个网站很便宜,但如果你使用“价格合理”这个词,你可能表示的是某个东西物有所值。
A nightmare is, literally, a bad dream, but you can use it to describe something terrible.从字面上看,nightmare 是噩梦的意思,但你可以用它来描述可怕的事情。Finally, if something goes downhill, it gets worse.最后,如果某件事情走下坡路的话,意思是情况变得更糟。'The quality has been going downhill' means that the quality of their products has been getting worse and worse.“质量一直在走下坡路”意味着他们的产品质量越来越差。
There are other useful words and phrases in the dialogue.对话中还有其他非常有用的单词和短语。We recommend listening to each dialogue several times and noting down any phrases you think are useful or interesting.我们建议你多听几遍每个对话,并记下你认为有用或有趣的短语。Next, you heard how to talk about shopping websites you use for buying clothes.接下来,你听到了如何谈论购买衣服的购物网站。Look at some questions.来看一些问题吧。
Think about how you could answer these.想想如何回答这些问题。When you answer the questions, try to include some details.回答问题时,请尝试包含一些详细信息。For example, when you answer question one, don't just say, 'I like shopping on Amazon'.例如,当你回答第一个问题时,不要只说“我喜欢在亚马逊上购物”。
Instead, you could say, 'I love buying clothes online.相反,你可以说:“我喜欢在网上买衣服。My favourite website is Asos because the prices are very reasonable, and their customer service is excellent.' You could also say, 'I usually buy clothes online two or three times a month.我最喜欢的网站是 Asos,因为它价格非常合理,而且他们的客户服务也很棒。”你也可以说:“我通常一个月在网上买两三件衣服。I would recommend staying away from Frox because the quality of the clothes has gone downhill recently.' OK Pause the video and try to answer the questions now.我建议远离 Frox,因为最近衣服的质量下降了。
”可以吗?暂停视频,尝试立即回答问题吧。Could you do it 你能做到吗?If not, go back and listen to the dialogue again.如果不能的话,请返回并再听一遍对话吧。Ready to move on 准备好继续了吗?Let's look at your next topic.让我们看看下一个话题。
In this dialogue, you will hear us comparing two websites — Amazon and AliExpress.在对话中,你将听到我们比较两个网站——亚马逊和速卖通。Have you ever used these websites 你用过这些网站吗?If you have, how do they compare 如果用过的话,它们相比而言怎么样呢?Think about yo。
