生活英语情景口语:送化妆品给女朋友...

A: how can I help you?

J: I'd like to buy some perfurm for my girlfriend.

A: ok, here are some of our most popular perfumes.

J: which one would you recommend?

A: personally, I quite like the new perfume by Clinique. It's a subtle flowery scent. What do you think?

J: that smells great. I'll take one bottle, please.

A: would you like to buy any other cosmetics³ for your girlfriend? We have a full range of products from cosmetics to skin cleansers and moisturizers.

J: it's ok. She normally just wears a little foundation and some loose powder, and I wouldn't know what shade to buy.

A: how about some lipstick⁴? Every woman needs a nice tube of red lipstick.

J: she doesn't usually wear lipstick. She thinks it makes her nose look too big.

A: how about some mascara? That will make her eyes look bigger.

J: no thank you. She has big enough eyes as it is.

A: I know what she would like---some whitening cream.

J: no thanks. Western women usually try to make their skin darker, no lighter⁵.

A: will that be all then?

J: that will be all. You're been very helpful, thanks.

需要我帮你什么?
我想给我女朋友买点香水。
你知道她平时爱用哪种香型吗？
她一般除了香奈儿5号不用别的。但是我想给她买一种新的。
好的，这有一些我们卖的特别好的香水。
你推荐哪一种？
就个人而言，我非常喜欢倩碧的这个新款。属于神秘花香型。你觉得怎么样?
闻起来感觉好极了。请给我拿这瓶。
你想不想给你女朋友买些其他的化妆品？我们有各种产品，从彩妆到洁肤到润肤用品。
没关系。她一般只用一点粉底和散粉，我也不知道该买哪种颜色呢。
唇膏呢？每个女人都需要一支好口红。
她很少用口红。她觉得涂口红使她的鼻子显得很大。
那睫毛膏呢？睫毛膏能使眼睛看起来更大。
不用了，谢谢。她的眼睛已经很大了。
我想她会喜欢美白润肤露。
不了，谢谢。西方女子通常想让她们的皮肤更黑一些，而不是更白。
这些就行了吗？
就这些了。你帮了不少忙，谢谢。
