【流行美语】239:旧物;毫无疑问(1/2)


Larry和李华一起去购物。Larry准备去参加朋友的婚礼,可是原来的西装太旧了,所以需要买一套新西装。李华今天要学两个常用语hand-me-down(别人用过的旧东西)和hands down(毫无疑问)。

只需要听写文中出现的【男生说的】英文部分,中文对话部分(包括里面个别的英语词组)不需要听写!!
Hints:
Hey
Li Hua
Jack
Wow
hand-me-down

Wow! Wow! Don't overwhelm me already. Any department store will do. All I need to do is find something to replace this old hand-me-down suit that I always wear.
No. "Hand-me-down" is an expression. It refers to something that is given to you because someone else does not want it any more. My father gave me the suit that I wear now because he could not wear it any longer.
What? Your wingtip dress shoes?
Wow! Now that's a hand-me-down. How have those shoes lasted so long?
No, unfortunately, my big feet won't fit into his hand-me-down shoes.LL: Hey, Li Hua, I need your help with something. I want to go to the mall and buy a new suit to wear for my friend Jack's wedding.
LH: 要我帮你购物?这可是我的专长。你想买什么牌子的西装?是Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, 还是Dolce and Gabbana?
LL: Wow! Wow! Don't overwhelm me already. Any department store will do. All I need to do is find something to replace this old hand-me-down suit that I always wear.
LH: 什么?你这套旧西装是什么质地的?Hand-me-down? 我怎么没听说过这种西装布料呀?
LL: No. "Hand-me-down" is an expression. It refers to something that is given to you because someone else does not want it any more. My father gave me the suit that I wear now because he could not wear it any longer.
LH: 噢,我明白了,hand-me-down是说从别人那儿捡来的旧东西,是别人不要的东西。你现在这套西装原来是你老爸穿不了给你的,怪不得看起来不太合身,而且还有些旧旧的。要这么说的话,我的鞋也是hand-me-down。
LL: What? Your wingtip dress shoes?
LH: 就是啊,这双鞋其实是我的好朋友Jane不要了给我的。她还告诉我说,她的另外两个朋友Sarah和Lily也都穿过这双鞋。
LL: Wow! Now that's a hand-me-down. How have those shoes lasted so long?
LH: 这种鞋之所以结实,是因为鞋底可以换新的,我已经换过两次了。对了,你老爸有没有给你什么hand-me-down的鞋,让你穿着去参加Jack的婚礼啊?
LL: No, unfortunately, my big feet won't fit into his hand-me-down shoes.
LH: 你的脚确实不小。那就走吧,大脚,我们买东西去。
