第33章 At the Cosmetic Department在化妆品部

A full belly counsels well.

At the Cosmetic Department

A: Good afternoon, madam. Can I help you?

B: I am looking for a shade of lip stick that would not look too glaring on me.

A: Have you ever tried natural?

B: No. But I have tried many other shades.

A: Then, I suggest you give it a try. This shade will go perfectly with your complexion.

衣食足而知荣辱。

在化妆品部

A: 下午好,夫人,你想买点什么?

B: 我在找一种对我来说色调不至于过于显眼的唇膏。

A: 你尝试过自然的色调吗?

B: 没有,但是我已经试过许多种其他的色调了。

A: 那么,我建议你试试吧。这种色调很适合你的肤色。

B: Talking about complexion, I just could not get the right shade, and I hate going around painted like a doll.

A: You are quite right. A person should never paint herself like a doll. Makeup should be applied accordingly.

B: May I try a little of that natural lip stick on my lips now?

A: Certainly.

B: Does it look beautiful on my lips?

A: Yes. It enhances the beauty of your lips, yet they are still very natural looking.

B: Good. I will take this. Now, I want a similar shade of nail polish.

A: Here you are. The shade is identicalidentical adj.同一的, 同样的 to that of the lip stick.

B: Oh yes. I just remember that I also want a bottle of nail polish remover.

A: Is there anything else I can do for you?

B: No. That is all. Thank you.

B: 讲到肤色的问题,我正愁找不到适当的色调,而且我讨厌把妆化得像洋娃娃一样。

A: 你说得很对,夫人。一个人是不应该把自己的妆化得像洋娃娃样的。化妆应该搭配好才行。

B: 我现在可以试一试那种自然色调的唇膏吗?

A: 当然可以。

B: 我涂上这种唇膏看起来漂亮吗?

A: 是的,它增加了你口唇的美丽,然而看起来却十分自然。

B: 好的,我就要这支吧。我还要同样色调的指甲油。

A: 给你。这种色调与唇膏的色调是一样的。

B: 啊,我想起来了。我还要一瓶指甲油清除剂。

A: 还要什么吗?

B: 不要了,就这些。谢谢你。
