 Old man: You want some flowers, I believe?
 Young man: That's right.
 Old man: Bramley's is the place to go.
 Young man: Bramley's?
 Woman: It's a wonderful place. They sell everything, not just flowers. It's a department store - a very good one.
 Old man: I bought some flowers at Bramley's forty years ago, for my new wife.
 Woman: That's right.
 Young man: There flowers are for my new wife.
 Old man: Wonderful! They'll find something special for you at Bramley's. And they're not expensive.

（在旅馆……）
 年轻人：劳驾。
 接待员：什么事，先生？
 年轻人：请问我们在哪里能买到花？
 接待员：在金街有一家花店，先生。出了旅馆向右拐。那儿的花总是很新鲜的。
 年轻人：谢谢您。
 老人：听说你想买花，是吗？
 年轻人：是的。
 老人：你该 上布兰姆里去。
 年轻人：布兰姆里？
 妇女：那儿好极了。他们什么都 卖，不光是花。那是家百货商店——一家很好的百货商店。
 老人：四十年前我在布兰姆里买了些花，是给我的新娘买的。
 妇女：不错。
 年轻人：我是给我的新娘买的。
 老人：妙极了！在布兰姆里，他们会专门给你挑一些花，而且也不贵。
 年轻人：好的。布兰姆里在哪里？
 妇女：不远。我们可以带你去，如果你愿意的话。我们正要去散散歩呢。
 老人：好主意。买花也是个好主意。麦吉喜欢花，对不对，亲爱的？
 妇女：当然了。
 老人：和我们一起走吧。
 年轻人：好。
 接待员：谢谢您，夫人。
 妇女：我们带这年轻去布兰姆里。
 接待员：布兰姆里？
 老人：买花去。他想买一些花。
 接待员：是啊，可……
 老人：在布兰姆里你可以买到很好的花。
 接待员：恐怕不再有了吧。
 妇女：什么？
 老人：他们现在不卖花了？
 接待员：他们什么都不卖了。布兰姆里现在不在那儿了。大约十年以前他们在那儿建了办公楼了。
 妇女：哎哟！万物都在变哩，是不是？好在这旅馆还在这儿。
 老人：更重要的是，我们还在这儿！
 妇女：老天爷保佑！

 注1. 问在哪儿购买某东西，说：Where can I get …？get 本意是得到，在这里可译为“搞到”、“弄到”或“买到”。例：
 We are spending our time looking at some local castles and old houses. Where can I get a book about castles?（我们的时间要用来参观一些当地的城堡和老房子的。哪儿能弄到一本关于城堡的书呢？）
 注2. believe 意思是相信。口语中常说“I believe …”或“… I believe”，这里 I believe 意思是我听说、我猜测、看来、我认为等。
 注3. 在英国，买下面这些东西要到这些店铺去：
  Where can I get a roll of film?（照相胶卷） At a chemist's.（药房）
  Where can I get a newspaper?（报纸） At a newsagent's.（报刊经售）
  Where can I get some medicine?（药品）At a chemist's.（药房）
  Where can I get some bread?（面包）At a baker's.（面包铺）
  Where can I get some meat?（肉）At a butcher's.（卖肉的）
英国的商店常以 —’s 称呼，省略了 shop（或 store）。如 chemist's 是 chemist's shop，Bramley's 即指 Bramley‘s Store。
  注4. We can tack you there, if you like. 这里 if you like（如果你喜欢的话）常用来表示建议。为人做某事，或劝人做某事时可附加这一句，以表示礼貌、客气，表示不强加于人，而是提出建议。
 注5. 出去散步，是 to go for a walk，for 表示目的。
 注6. anything 和 something 同义，但一般情况下前者用于疑问句和否定句，后者用于肯定句。*
 注7. at least 意思是至少，无论如何。此处根据上下文可以译为“好在”。

2. Can you recommend a good show?

（At the hotel. Mr Jones wants the receptionist to have dinner and go the theatre with him.）
 Mr Jones: Well can you help me? Where can I get some theatre tickets, please?
 Receptionist: At Robinson's Ticket Agency. It's across the road. It's a very good one.
 Mr Jones: Thanks. Oh, and can you recommend a good show? Is there a show you want to see, for example.
 Receptionist: Excuse me. Ask that gentleman. Mr Jones. I'm sure he can recommend something.
 Husband: Recommend…？
 Mr Jones: A show. And a restaurant. Something that she will like.
 Husband: Oh, I see.Well, you can get a good nead at Luigi's. That's a good Italian restaurand. And there's a very good play at the National Theatre.
 Mr Jones: A play?
 Husband: She looks like a serious girl to me.
 Mr Jones: Oh. Yes, perhaps you're right. We can eat at Luigi's Restaurant, then see a play at the National Theatre. How's that?
 Receptionist: Very good.
 Mr Jones: Well, when are you free? Tonight?
 Receptionist: Me？
 Mr Jones: Yes. I'd like you to have dinner with me and come to the theatre.
 Receptionist: I see. Er — can my husband come too?
 Mr Jones: Your husband?
 Receptionist: Yes.

（在旅馆，琼斯先生想请接待员去吃饭和看戏。）
 琼斯先生：哎，你能帮个忙吗？我在哪儿能卖到戏票？
 接待员：在鲁滨逊售票代理处。就在马路对面。这是家很好的代理处。
 琼斯先生：谢谢。哦，你能推荐一场演出吗？比如说你有没有你愿意看的演出？
 接待员：对不起。问那位先生吧。琼斯先生。我敢肯定他会推荐的。
 丈夫：推荐……？
 琼斯先生：一场演出。还有饭店。她喜欢的东西。
 丈夫：哦，我明白了。嗯，你可以到路易吉饭店美餐一顿，那是一家很不错的意大利饭馆。在国家剧院还有一出很好的话剧。
 琼斯先生： 话剧？
 丈夫：我看她象是一个严肃的姑娘。
 琼斯先生：噢，是的，大概你是对的。我们可以在路易吉饭店吃饭，然后去国家剧院看话剧。怎么样？
 接待员：很好。
 琼斯先生：那么，你什么时候有空？今天晚上？
 接待员：我？
 琼斯先生：是的。我想请你和我一起吃饭，看戏。
 接待员：明白了。呃——我丈夫也去，行吗？
 琼斯先生：你丈夫？
 接待员：是的。

 注8. 要别人推荐什么，说：Can you recommend (something)? 或客气一些，说：Could you recommend … ？
 向别人推荐什么时说：You can …? 或 There's … 或反问 Do you like …?
 例：In the Tourist Information Centre
 Clerk:Well, what are your interests?
 Man:Oh, they're very general. We're interested in the theatre. Can you recommend a good show?
 Clerk:Well, what are you like comedies?
 Woman:Yes, we do.
 Clerk:Well, there's a very good play at the National Theatre. I can recommend it?
 Man:*Why not? Thank you. Will you do the booking for us?

 职员:你们对什么感兴趣？
 男子:嗯，兴趣也很一般。我们对看戏有兴趣。你能推荐一场好的演出吗？
 职员:好，你喜欢喜剧吗？
 女子:我们喜欢。
 职员:那，在国家剧院有一场很好的话剧，我可以推荐。
 男子:好啊，谢谢你。你能帮我们订票吗？
 注9.show 演出，节目。一场电影可说 a film show，一个广播节目叫 a radio show，一个电视节目叫 a televition show。
 play 戏剧，话剧。
 一般讲 show 是比较小型、轻松的表演，play 是比较正轨的演出。这就是为什么在这一篇课文中 Mr Jones 想看 show，但那人推荐 a good play，并说“She looks like a serious girl to me.”
 注10.Something that she will like. 全句是：You recommend something that she will like. that she will like 是定语从句，修饰 something.
 that 可以用来代替 which 引导一定语从句，形容某物。在形容 evrything、nothing、something、anything 等不定代词时，多用 that，that 也经常可以省略，如：
 Is there anything (that) I can do for you?

3. Where can I get my shoes repaired?

 (An extravagant woman comes to the receptionist and ask for help.)
 Extravagant woman:Excuse me.
 Receptionist: Yes, madam?
 Extravagant woman: I've got a problem with one fo my shoes. Where can I get it repaired, please?
 Receptionist: At Mason's. That's the shoe shop in the High Street. Turn right outside the hotel. But it's quite a long way, I'm afraid.

 （一个衣着奢华的女人来到接待员这里请求帮助。）
 奢华女人:对不起。
 接待员: 什么事，太太？
 奢华女人: 我的鞋子出了问题。请问，我到哪儿能把它修理一下？
 接待员: 在梅森鞋店。那是在海街的鞋店。出旅馆向右转。不过，路可不近呢。

 注11.请比较下面的句子：
 I want to get my car repaired.（我要把车修一下。）
 I want to repair my car.（我要修一下车。）
这两句都是要修车，但第一句是意味着要别人帮他修，是拿出去叫别人修，第二句则意味着自己修。又如；
 I'd like to have my hair done.（我要做头发。）这是当然是别人（理发师）帮他做。
 I want to have my clothes cleaned. （我要人把我的衣服洗洗。）
 I want to clean my clothes.（我要洗我的衣服。）
 注12.problem 可用来表示物品的毛病，如：
 There's a problem with my watch.（我的表有毛病。）
 Jone's husband had a big problem, you remember?（珍妮的丈夫有个大毛病，你记得吗？）
