2012年ESL之餐饮娱乐 13 Buying Dinnerware

（单词翻译）

 

Buying Dinnerware 

Wendy: We need some new dinnerware. Nearly all of our plates and bowls are cracked or chipped. 

Jason: All right, you do that. 

Wendy: Aren’t you going to help? 

Jason: I trust your judgment¹. Whatever you like, I’ll like, too. 

Wendy: But I need your input². For instance, this set has eight place settings: eight dinner plates, eight salad plates, eight soup bowls, and eight mugs. Everything is microwave-safe, too. What do you think of this pattern? 

Jason: It’s great. Let’s get that one. 

Wendy: Wait! This set is a little more formal and the plates are bigger, about an inch larger in diameter. It has a nice blue pattern, see? 

Jason: Yeah, it’s perfect. Let’s buy that one. 

Wendy: Oh, but look at these other options on this website. I don’t think I can decide unless I can see them in person. Let’s go. 

Jason: Go where? 

Wendy: To the store. I don’t want to buy something half-assed. We’ll be using these dishes for many, many years. 

Jason: Like I said, I trust your judgment. Buy whatever you want. 

Wendy: You’re not coming with me? Come on. What can I do to get you to come with me? 

Jason: You want me to go with you shopping on my day off and while the game is on? Dream on!
