实用口语天天学 第140期:我要给女朋友买些花
(Johnnie enters the flower shop)
Johnnie: I need some flowers for my girlfriend, Lily.
Fredo: No problem. We have a three-for-one special on Artificial carnations.
Johnnie: Carnations are not very elegant. Artificial flowers have no passion.
Fredo: About how much did you want to spend?
Johnnie: Money is no object.
Fredo: Our most elegant,（under his breath）and most expensive flower is the golden lily.
Johnnie: Now you're talking I'll take ten.
★ artificial (a.) 人造的
★ carnation (n.) 康乃馨
★ elegant (a.)文雅的
★ is no object 不是问题
★ lily (n.) 百合花，亦为女子名‘莉莉’
★ Now you're talking 这才像话嘛
（强尼走进花店）
强 尼：我要买些花给我女朋友莉莉。
佛瑞多：没问题。我们现在康乃馨人造花买一送二。
强 尼：康乃馨不够优雅。人造花缺乏热情。
佛瑞多：你打算花多少钱？
强 尼：钱不是问题。
佛瑞多：本店最优雅（压低声音），最昂贵的花就是黄金百合。
强 尼：这才像话嘛。我要十朵。
