情景对话 Dialogue
Shop Assistant: Excuse me, can I help you?
Customer: Yes, I could really use some help, actually.
Shop Assistant: What do you need?
Customer: I've got a long list of things I need; I don't really
know where to start…
Shop Assistant: OK, well, let's just start with the first one
on your list. Wht is it?
Customer: Well, my wife is pregnant and she told me to get her
some vitamins, but I have no idea what kind of vitamins she needs.
Shop Assistant: That's not a problem. Pregnant women should
take 400 micrograms of folic acid every day—up until the first 12
weeks of pregnancy. It should help prevent pre-term births, and
neural defects like spina bifida.
Customer: Ok, so 400 micrograms, you say?
Shop Assistant: Yes, it's written on the bottle. I'd also
recommend she take 10 micrograms of Vitamin D every day. She can
take a multivitamin tablet if she wants for this, as long as it
doesn't contain Vitamin A, as too much of this can harm the baby.
Customer: Would you recommend a multivitamin tablet or a
separate vitamin D tablet?
Shop Assistant: If she's got a healthy diet, Vitamin A should
be fine. But she should talk to her doctor if she's concerned about
it.
Customer: OK, now I also need something to help me sleep. Ever
since we found out we were going to have another baby, I just
haven't been able to drop off at night.
Shop Assistant: If you are looking for sleeping pills to cure
your insomnia,I'd recommend this packet here, but if you'd like to
try something natural, you could try this herbal remedy—it's a tea
you drink about an hour before you want to go to sleep.
Customer: Yes, I don't really want to get hooked on sleeping
pills—I'll take the tea.
Shop Assistant: Looks like you appreciate natural products. Can
I interest you in this brochure on the international slow food
movement?
Customer: Sure, that looks really interesting—and it reminds
me, my mother-in-law wanted me to pick up something to help her
lose weight.
Shop Assistant: This is a natural food product containing
essential vitamins and minerals which is supposed to suppress your
appetite, while speeding up your metabolic rate.
Customer: That sounds good.
Shop Assistant: Maybe she'd like these vitamins with ginkgo
biloba. They're all natural and help to stimulate brain activity
and memory; they're perfect for older people. I've also got special
ingredients you can put in soup to restore energy and vigour…
译文 Translation
店员：有什么可以帮您的吗？
顾客：是的，我确实需要一些帮助。
店员：您需要什么？
顾客：我列了张我需要的东西的单子，太多了，无从下手……
店员：好吧，那我们就从单子上列出的第一个开始吧。第一个是什么？
顾客：我妻子怀孕了，她让我买些维生素，但我不知道她需要哪种维生素。
店员：这很简单。孕妇每天需要摄入400微克的叶酸——直到怀孕第12周，可
以防止早产和神经系统缺陷，如脊柱裂。
顾客：好的，你是说400微克吧？
店员：是的，瓶子上有标注。我还建议她每天摄入10微克的维生素D。如果愿意
的话，还可以吃多种维生素片，只要不含维生素A就可以，因为维生素A过量的话对
胎儿不利。
顾客：你推荐多种维生素片还是单独的维生素D片呢？
店员：如果她饮食合理的话，维生素A应该没问题。如果她担心的话，可以咨询
医生。
顾客：好的，我还需要买些助睡眠的药。自从知道又要有孩子后，我就晚上睡
不着觉。
店员：如果您想要之类的，我建议您拿这一套，但如果您想要纯天然药
物，您可以试试这种草药——是一种茶，睡前约一小时喝。
顾客：是的，我不想依赖——我还是要茶吧。
店员：看来您还是喜欢纯天然产品。我可以给您推荐这本关于国际慢食运动的
小册子吗？
顾客：没问题，听起来很有趣——这提醒了我，我岳母还让我帮她挑减肥的产
品呢。
店员：这是一款纯天然食物产品，含人体所需的、抑制食欲的维生素和矿物
质，能加快新陈代谢。
顾客：很好。
店员：或许她会需要这些维生素搭配银杏叶片。这些都是纯天然的，有助于刺
激大脑活动和增强记忆力，很适合老年人。我这里还有一些特殊原料，您可以加入
汤中食用，帮助您恢复精神和体力。
