时差N小时:市场购物 Market Shopping

Mike: Wow! There's so much fresh produce here.Half of it looks like it was growing in the fields this morning.

哇!这里有好多新鲜商品。有一半的商品看起来好像今早上才挖出来。

Amanda: Look at those carrots. They still have mud caked all over them. I wish I could growstuff, but I've never had much of a green thumb.

看看这些胡萝卜，都还有泥块在上面呢，我希望我也能种一些，但是我没有一点园艺的才能。

Mike: Taiwan's subtropical climate is perfect for cultivating all kinds of fruit and vegetables. Youcan get things that grow in Europe, like apples and pears, and also more exotic fruits, such aspineapples, bananas and durian. A smorgasbord of delights!

台湾亚热带的气候特别适合种植各类水果和蔬菜。你可以种些生长在欧洲的作物，像苹果，梨，和一些非本地水果，像是菠萝、香蕉及榴莲。就像一顿丰富的自助餐。

Amanda: Have you set your sights on anything, or shall we just wander around and bespontaneous?

你计划好要买什么东西了吗或者我们可以随意逛逛。

Mike: To be honest, I'm tempted by everything I see. I've never seen so many people hawkingtheir wares. It's not only food that's on offer, there's clothing, flowers, toys, incense, even old-man style vests and pajamas.

老实说，我看到的东西我都想买。我从没有见过这么多人在沿街叫卖。而且还不仅仅是在卖水果，还有衣服，鲜花，玩具，甚至还有老旧款式的背心和睡衣。

Amanda: Look at that guy selling batteries. He's got every single size. Looks like he's corneredthe market on that product.

看那个卖电池的男人，每一种型号的电池他都有。就像他要垄断这个电池市场一样。

Mike: Maybe if you buy two packets he'll give you one for free. You should practice yourbargaining skills if we're going to India next year.

也许如果你买两个他还会再送你一个。我看如果你明年还来印度的话最好要先练好你讨价的技能。

Amanda: I'm too exhausted. Let's just grab some snacks and call it a day.

我有些累了。我们快去买点小吃吧，今天就先逛到这里。
