Ruth: Oh its quite an interesting story. I went to a hairdresser just down the road. I saw a sign outside and it said that they were offering cheap haircuts so I went in there.

鲁斯：哦，这是一个非常有意思的故事。我去了街边的一家理发店。我看到外面有个牌子写着他们剪发很便宜，于是我就去了。

Akane: Oh, ok well, how cheap was it?

茜：哦，有多便宜呢？

Ruth: Erm, well it was 1500 yen which is about ￡7.50.

鲁斯：嗯，1500日元，大概7.50英镑。

Akane: Oh right, ok. So are you pleased with your new haircut?

茜：好。那你对你的新发型满意吗？

Ruth: Erm, yeah, I am pleased. Im pleased that its shorter and its better than it would have been if I had done it myself and Im also pleased that it was cheap, but its not exactly what I was looking for.

鲁斯：嗯，我很满意。我满意的是头发剪短了，而且比我自己剪的要好，同样我对价钱便宜这点也很满意，不过这并不是我想要的发型。

Akane: Oh, so, would you go there again?

茜：哦，那你还会再去那里剪发吗？

Ruth: Erm, probably not!

鲁斯：嗯，可能不会了！

Akane: No? Well, what kind of person cut your hair?

鲁斯：嗯，那里油腻腻的，而且去那里的都是老爷爷，只有我一个女孩。

Akane: Oh, ok.

茜：这样啊。

Ruth: And the haircut took probably 7 minutes.

鲁斯：整个剪发过程用了7分钟。

Akane: Wow, thats really fast!

茜：哇！那简直太快了！

Ruth: Yeah, exactly and they didnt wash my hair or anything, so…

鲁斯：没错，而且他们没有给我洗头，所以……

Akane: Oh no!

茜：哦不！

Ruth: But it was cheap and you know I like bargains so it wasnt too bad.

鲁斯：不过很便宜，你知道我喜欢便宜的东西，所以还不算太坏。

Akane: So there were a lot of old men there and no women?

茜：有很多老爷爷去那里，但是没有老奶奶吗？

Ruth: Thats right.

鲁斯：没错。

Akane: So was it a barber?

茜：那是家男子理发店吗？

Ruth: I hope not! I hope I didnt make the mistake of going into a barber but there was a woman in there cutting hair and she cut my hair.

鲁斯：我想不是！我希望我没有误进男子理发店，不过那里有一位女性理发师，就是她给我剪的头发。

Akane: Oh thats a good sign.

茜：哦，那是个好迹象。

Ruth: Yeah that was a good sign.

鲁斯：对，那是个好迹象。

Akane: So do you think your haircut will last until you have to go back to England?

茜：你觉得你在回英国之前是不是都不用剪头发了？

Ruth: Well Im hoping so. It is quite short; its a lot shorter than it was before so hopefully it will.

鲁斯：我希望吧。现在头发非常短；比之前短的多，所以我希望不用再剪了。

Akane: Ok, well I really like it.

茜：好，我真的很喜欢。

Ruth: Oh thats really nice of you, thanks! Well, if you get your haircut dont go there!

鲁斯：哦，你真是太好了，谢谢！不过如果你想剪头发，最好不要去那里！
