写出文中划线部分缺少的句子即可,一句一段(注意句首大小写问题,每段最后不用加标点)。让我们开始今天的内容吧
Salesperson: Well do you want something inexpensive, or is money no object?
Kevin: _________________________.
Salesperson: Hmm ... so how about $100 dollars? Maybe $200?
Kevin: $200? ____________________.
Salesperson: Is $100 out of your price range?
Kevin: ________________________________.
啊? 他的"budget" - 预算,只有20块!我看这些钱只够给人买双袜子的! Kevin真是“浪漫”得让人想揍他一顿!
Professor: Why, Winnie? Women don't think socks are a romantic present? Hmm ... So, that's why my wife was so mad at her birthday last year! But Winnie, can you guess what "money is no object" means?
我想,"money is no object"就是说 “钱不是问题,多少钱都无所谓”的意思。
Professor: That's right. For example, I usually only buy cheap things. _________________________________.
Salesperson: Umm ... __________________________. This is a nice clothing store.
Kevin: Oh ... well, _______________________________?
Salesperson: There is a store down the street called Bargain Basement. You could probably find some really cheap clothes there.
Kevin: Wow, _______________________. I'll go try to find her a present there. Thanks!
Professor Bowman,"go overboard"意思是“过份”么?
Professor: Exactly.
这么说,Kevin连100块都不舍得花?要我说,等他女友把他甩掉时,他可别怪人家 go overboard!
Professor: I agree. Tune in next time to see what happens!I want to get her something reasonably priced, but nice
Come on, it's not like we're married
I don't want to go overboard. I think my budget is closer to $20
But when I look for something important like a good doctor, money is no object
I don't think we have any outfits for $20 here
can you recommend a store near here where I could find some really good bargains
that sounds perfect for my budgetS:请问你先要一些不贵的东西还是要多少钱都无所谓的东西?
K:我想送她一份价格合理,但又好的礼物。
S:嗯~,那不如100美元吧?或者200美元?
K:200美元?真是的!这不像我们已经结婚了!
S:请问100美元是不是超出你的预算?
K:我不想太过分。我想我的预算20美元左右吧!
P:为什么,Winnie?女人不喜欢袜子做礼物吗?嗯~怪不得上一年我的妻子那么生气!但是,Winnie,你可以猜到“money is object"是什么意思吗?
P:正确。例如,我总是只买便宜的东西。但是,当我需要一些重要的事物如好的医生的时候,钱不是问题,多少钱都无所谓。
S:嗯~,我想我们这里没有任何设备是20美元的。这是一件非常好的衣服店。
K:噢。。。那,请问你可以介绍一间在这附近的,我能找到好的廉价商品的店吗?
S:这条街的下面有一个地下商场。你或许可以在那找到一些非常便宜的衣服。
K:哇,这听起来符合我的预算。我会尽力在那里找到她的礼物的。
P:完全正确。
P:我同意。让我们拭目以待吧!
