Alright, so Max, what are we chatting about today?

好的，Max，我們今天聊什麼呢？

Today we're talking about something we all do, whether we love it or hate it.

我們今天要聊一個我們都會做的事，不管我們愛它還是恨它。

If you're traveling abroad, moving to another country, even just browsing online stores, you're going to need to know how to communicate about shopping.

如果你出國旅行、搬到另一個國家，甚至只是逛逛網路商店，你都會需要知道怎麼跟購物有關的溝通。

From asking for sizes to dealing with returns, there's so much vocabulary involved.

從問尺寸到處理退貨，裡面有很多詞彙。

We're talking about grocery shopping, electronics, gifts, all of it.

我們在講的範圍包含買菜、買電子產品、買禮物，全部都算。

So whether you're a shopaholic or someone who only shops when absolutely necessary, this episode is definitely for you.

所以，不管你是購物狂，還是隻在絕對必要的時候才購物，這一集絕對適合你。

所以，Max，我來問你一個問題。

I mean, I'll shop when I need something, but going to the mall, that's not my thing.

我的意思是，我需要東西的時候會買，但去逛百貨公司，那不是我的菜。

That means looking through different products at any time, day or night.

也就是說，你可以隨時隨地，不論白天黑夜，看看不同的商品。

You know, check different websites to find the best deal.

你知道的，可以看看不同的網站，找到最划算的交易。

I actually prefer going to physical stores.

Well, I like trying things on before buying them.

You never know if something will fit properly until you actually wear it.

你永遠不知道東西穿起來適不適合，除非你真的穿上它。

Returns can be a hassle when you shop online.

A hassle meaning something difficult or annoying.

麻煩就是指很難處理或很煩人的事。

Like when you have to return things, print labels and ship them back.

就像退貨時，還要印標籤、寄回去。

But still, for me, it beats dealing with long queues at the checkout.

不過對我來說，還是比排隊結帳好。

That's just the British word for lines when you're stuck waiting to pay.

那是英國人說的，就是你付錢時要等的那種隊伍。

See, when I shop online, there's no waiting.

Just add items to your cart, enter your payment details and boom, done.

只要把東西加到購物車，輸入付款資訊，就大功告成了。

But don't you miss the experience though?

Like Walking around, window shopping, maybe grabbing a coffee.

像是逛街、看看櫥窗裡的商品，或是喝杯咖啡。

You mean just looking at stuff without actually buying anything?

你的意思是，只是看看東西，但其實不買嗎？

Plus, sometimes you find things you didn't even know you needed.

而且有時候你會發現連自己都不知道需要的東西。

I do tend to pick up random things sometimes.

See, online shopping helps you stick to your budget better.

你看，網購能讓你比較好地控制預算。

You can see the total before you check out.

沒錯，但實體店面也有特價啊。

And clearance sections where everything is discounted.

Online stores have discount codes though.

Sometimes you can get like 20% off your entire purchase.

Alright, I think we're both making good points here.

好吧，我覺得我們兩個說的都有道理。

It really depends on what works best for each person.

其實真的看每個人最適合哪種方式。

Whether you're shopping in store or online, the important thing is knowing how to communicate what you need.

不論是實體店面購物或線上購物，重點是懂得溝通自己需要什麼。

So let's talk about some specific situations you might encounter when shopping.

所以我們來聊聊購物時可能會遇到的一些具體情況吧。

Let's listen to a conversation between two friends, Sarah and Tom, who are out shopping for a birthday gift.

我們來聽聽莎拉和湯姆這兩位朋友在逛街買生日禮物的對話。

Hey, Tom, thanks for coming with me today.

嘿，湯姆，謝謝你今天陪我來。

I really need help finding a gift for my sister's birthday.

我真的需要你幫忙，幫我姊姊找生日禮物。

Well, she's been dropping hints about wanting a new handbag, but I'm not sure what style she likes.

嗯，她一直暗示想要一個新的皮夾，但我不太確定她喜歡哪種款式。

Okay, let's check out that department store downtown.

好的，我們去市中心的百貨公司看看吧。

They usually have a good selection and we can browse different brands.

他們通常選擇很多，我們可以逛逛不同的品牌。

Let's head to the accessory section on the second floor.

I think I saw a sign for handbags near the escalator.

我想我看到手扶梯附近有皮夾的標示。
