今天的这段对话,在讨论买东西,
你算是购物狂吗?你会买那些你不需要的东西吗
来听今天的讲解:
A: So, Melissa, this week we're talking about buying things. Now, in terms of shopping, are you one those people that are like a shop-a-holic? You buy things you don't need?
梅莉莎,这周我们来聊聊买东西。在购物方面,你算是购物狂吗?你会买那些你不需要的东西吗?
B: Yes, but recently I've been trying to veer away from that habit.
会,不过最近我正在努力改变这个习惯。
A: So, what influences you most to buy something? Is it like commercials or is just impulse?
在买东西时,什么对你的影响最大?是广告还是一时的冲动?
B: I think it's kind of just having the money and feeling like I deserve it.
我想应该是这样,如果我有钱,那我觉得那东西就应该是我的。
A: So, it's a reward?
就像奖励一样?
B: Yeah, it's always a reward for something.
对,一种奖赏。
A: Well, how about ... how persuaded are you to buy something by commercials or advertising or things like that?
那广告之类的宣传对你买东西的影响有多大?
B: Defintely food commercials persuade me to buy it. Like I'll see a food commercial or even a picture of deliciously looking food and I'll want to have it, so I have two or three concrete examples over just the past month where I saw an ad for food and I went and bought it.
我看到食品广告后绝对会去买回来。如果我看到食品广告,或是看上去很好吃的食物的图片,那我就会想去买回来,我上个月这样做了得有两三次,我看到食品广告后,就会去买回来。
A: Oh, really. Like what did you buy?
哦,真的吗?那你买了什么?
B: One was hot Hotto-Motto. It was like a kind of fast food chain and they were selling a fried chicken on rice that looked really good, and the other was a McDonald's Cinnamon Role.
好麦道。那是家快餐连锁店,它们在卖炸鸡盖饭,看上去非常好吃,我还买了麦当劳的Cinnamon Role。
A: And you saw it and you're like, I gotta have it.
你看到以后喜欢,就会去买。
B: Yeah, and like one weird thing happened. I just saw a red and yellow sign and it reminded me of Wendy's and then I was craving a chocolate milkshake ...frosty ... so I went somewhere else and bought it.
对,而且还发生了一件不可思议的事。我看到一个红色和黄色的标志,那让我想起了温迪快餐,然后我就想来杯冰冰的巧克力奶昔,所以我就去买了。
A: And you got it?
你买了?
B: Yeah.
对。
A: Oh, Ok.
哦,好。
