买东西的时候售货员和顾客常说的话：

您要点儿什么：

Are you right?

Can I help you?

May I help you?

What can I do for you?

我想要看看.... I'd like to see ....

我想要..... I'm after...

有售货员照应您了吗？ Is someone looking after you?

您要的东西买齐了吗？ Is that all?

您还要点儿什么别的吗？ Something/anything else?

一元钱一公斤 $1 a kilo

您付现款还是记帐？ Cash or charge?

这东西在下一条过道的货架上 It's in the next aisle

在那一头 It's over there

九毛钱买十个 Ten for 90 cents

有很多...... There's plenty of...


PART THREE. The Lesson

SHOPPING 买东西

1. OPENING WORDS 开始交谈

你到商店买东西，售货员过来照应，问你需要什么，说法有多种。你在回答的时候也有好几种说法。

Can I/May I help you?

Thanks. I'm looking for...

Is someone looking after you?

No. I'd like to see...

Are you right?

Mmm. I'm after some...

如果是你主动问售货员，你可以说：

Can you help me?

Have you got any...?

Can you tell me where X is, please?

算帐的时候，售货员可能问：

Is that all?

你可以回答：

Yes,thanks.

售货员也可能问：

Is there something/anything* else?

你可以回答：

No, that's all, thanks.

*如果售货员用anything这个词，只是问顾客“还要不要买什么别的东西？”如果用something 这个词，

就说明售货员更积极的表示希望顾客多买些东西。

2. PRICES 价格

买东西总要涉及价格，请参看对话。

注意：有的商品论个儿买，例如 10 for 90c.

有的商品论分量，例如 A dollar a kilo ($1 per kg).

在商店里，往往可以听到这样的对话：

SHOPPER：How much are these sandals?

ASSISTANT: They're $17.50.

SHOPPER: OK. I'll have them. They're nice.

ASSISTANT: And here's your change.$2.50.

3. QUANTITY 数量

买东西又会牵涉到可数名词和不可数名词：

COUNTABLES UNCOUNTABLES

apples coffee

biscuits orange juice

oranges tea

可数名词与不可数名词的用法有以下两点区别：

a) 可数名词可以用单数，也可以用复数。

例如： Here's a biscuit.

Here are SOME biscuits.

不可数名词则只能用单数，例如：

Here's SOME tea.

b) 与之连用的表示数量的词语也有所不同。例如：

i) There are only A FEW biscuits.(可数名词)

There's only a little/a bit of rice.(不可数）

ii) There isn't MUCH tea.Have we got much coffee?(不可数名词）

There aren't MANY oranges. Have we got many bananas?(可数名词）
注意：

在肯定的陈述句里，无论是与可数名词还是与不可数名词连用往往不同 much/many

而用 a lot of 或plenty of.

There's PLENTY/A LOT of tea. There are PLENTY/A LOT of biscuits.



ones (参看第5讲第8部分第3点的注释）这个词用来代替上文已经提到过的某个复数名词。

例如： I'd like some apples.

some of the green ones,please.

PART FOUR . Background Material

澳大利亚的商店

在超级市场里，顾客自己从货架上取货（有的百货商店也是这样），但是在有的商店，例如

皮鞋商店，顾客需要售货员帮忙。水果在大型无人售货的市场里出售，也能在小的水果铺子里买到

——这种铺子里有售货员照应。

澳大利亚的商店，尤其是大的百货公司，售货员可能问顾客：您付现款还是记帐？有的顾客在

商店开立帐户，每次买东西的时候记在帐上，按月结算。

顺便说一下，在澳大利亚 first floor指二层；一层或底层叫 ground floor.
