This is too big / small / tight / loose. (这件太大/小/紧/宽了。)
Do you have a smaller / larger size? (有小一号/大一号的吗?)
0:00/0:00
价格与优惠:
Is this on sale? (这个打折吗?)
Do you have any discounts / promotions? (有优惠活动吗?)
That's a bit expensive. Is there any discount? (有点贵,可以便宜一点吗?)
0:00/0:00
结账流程:
I'll take it. / I'll buy this one. (我要这个了。)
Can I pay by card / cash? (可以刷卡/付现金吗?)
Can I have a receipt, please? (可以给我收据吗?)
Can I exchange this if it doesn't fit? (如果不合适可以换吗?)
0:00/0:00
在英语国家购物,结账后一定要索取 receipt(收据)。英语国家退换货(return / exchange)通常需要凭收据,而且很多店铺都有明确的退换货政策(return policy)。进店前可以问“What's your return policy?”(退换货政策是什么?),这个问题完全合理,不会显得奇怪。

M

Medium
L
大码
Large
XL

询问尺码的完整对话模式:
Do you have this jacket in size medium? (这件夹克有中码的吗?)
Do you have this in a different size or color? (这有其他尺码或颜色吗?)
What sizes do you have available? (你们有哪几种尺码?)
I usually wear a large, but I'd like to try a medium too. (我通常穿大码,但我也想试试中码。)
Could I try both the medium and the large? (我可以都试一下中码和大码吗?)
Is this a slim fit or a regular fit? (这是修身版还是标准版?)
0:00/0:00
如果你需要进一步说明可以这样表达:I'm not sure about my size here. Could you help me find the right one?(我不确定在这里该穿什么码,可以帮我找合适的吗?)
交通工具
描述出行方式时,使用“by + 交通工具”或“take the + 交通工具”两种结构:
I go to work by subway. (我坐地铁上班。)
I take the bus to school. (我坐公共汽车去学校。)
She drives to work every day. (她每天开车上班。)
He usually walks to the supermarket. (他通常步行去超市。)
0:00/0:00
注意:像 walk(步行)、drive(开车)、cycle(骑车)等动词,应直接用其动词形式表达出行方式,如 “I walk to school.”(我步行去上学)。而对于 subway、bus、train 等名词型交通工具,则常用 “by + 名词” 或 “take the + 名词” 的结构来表达,例如 “I go to work by subway.”(我坐地铁去上班),或 “I take the bus every day.”(我每天乘坐公交车)。此外,“ride a bike”(骑自行车)和 “take a taxi/plane/ship”等也可以表达相应的出行方式。根据不同交通工具选择合适的结构,会让表达更加自然、地道。
问路与指路
问路的礼貌表达:
Excuse me, how do I get to the subway station? (请问怎么去地铁站?)
Could you tell me the way to the nearest bank? (能告诉我去最近的银行的路吗?)
Is the supermarket far from here? (超市离这里远吗?)
方向表达:
距离与时间表达:
It's about 500 meters away. (大约500米远。)
It's about a 10-minute walk. (走路大约10分钟。)
It's just around the corner. (就在拐角处,很近。)
It's quite far — you might want to take a bus. (挺远的,你可能需要坐公共汽车。)

完整场景对话
场景一:购物
Shop assistant: Hi there! Can I help you?
(嗨!有什么可以帮您的吗?)
0:00/0:00
Customer: Hi, I'm looking for a winter coat. Something warm but not too bulky.
(嗨,我在找一件冬季大衣。要保暖但不能太厚重的那种。)
0:00/0:00
Assistant: We have some nice options over here. This one is very popular — it's slim-fit and very warm.
(这边有一些不错的款式。这件很受欢迎——修身款,非常保暖。)
0:00/0:00
Customer: I like it. Do you have this in dark blue, size medium?
(我喜欢这件。有深蓝色、中码的吗?)
0:00/0:00
Assistant: Let me check... Yes! Here you go.
(我查一下……有的!给您。)
0:00/0:00
Customer: Great, I'll try it on. Where is the fitting room?
(太好了,我试一下。试衣间在哪里?)
0:00/0:00
场景二:问路
A: Excuse me, I'm looking for the City Museum. Is it near here?
(打扰一下,我在找城市博物馆。离这里近吗?)
0:00/0:00
B: Yes, it's not too far. Go straight along this street for about two blocks, then turn right at the traffic lights. The museum is on your left, opposite the park.
(不太远。沿着这条街直走大约两个街区,然后在红绿灯处右转。博物馆在你左手边,在公园对面。)
0:00/0:00
A: Turn right at the traffic lights, and it's opposite the park — got it! About how far is it to walk?
(在红绿灯右转,在公园对面——明白了!走过去大概多远?)
0:00/0:00
B: About 10 minutes on foot.
(步行大约10分钟。)
0:00/0:00
解析: 问路之后复述方向(Turn right at the traffic lights, and it's opposite the park)是一个非常好的习惯,能帮你确认自己听明白了。场景一中“something warm but not too bulky”是描述商品需求的自然表达方式——用形容词描述你想要的特点,而不是非要说出具体的款式名称,这种表达方式在实际购物中非常实用。
词汇速查
练习题
练习一(选择题):购物场景用语
知识点:区分购物场景中“只是看看”和“有明确需求”的表达
你刚进入一家服装店,还没决定要买什么,店员走过来问“Can I help you?”你应该怎么回答?
A. I'm just browsing, thanks.
B. I want to buy everything here.
C. I am looking for nothing.
D. No, go away please.
答案:A — I'm just browsing, thanks.
“I'm just browsing”是英语购物中最标准的“随便看看”表达,礼貌且自然,告诉店员你不需要帮助但又不显得不友好。B“I want to buy everything”不是实际场景中的回答;C“I am looking for nothing”语法上比较奇怪,不是自然表达;D 语气过于强硬,不礼貌。记住:在英语购物文化中,对店员保持礼貌是基本礼仪,即使你不需要帮助,也应该礼貌拒绝。
练习二(选择题):出行方式的表达
知识点:“by + 交通工具”与“take the + 交通工具”的用法
以下哪个句子语法正确且自然?
A. I go to work by the subway.
B. I take subway to school every day.
C. She travels to Beijing by train.
D. He drives by car to the office.
答案:C — She travels to Beijing by train.
“by + 交通工具”不加冠词,所以是“by train / by bus / by subway”,A“by the subway”多了定冠词 the,不符合规范(虽然有时也能听到);B“take subway”缺少冠词 the,应是“take the subway”;D“drives by car”重复了意思(drives 本身已经表示开车,不需要再加 by car),应改成“drives to the office”或“goes to the office by car”。
练习三(选择题):指路语言理解
知识点:理解英语指路中的方向词汇
听到以下指路说明,终点应该在哪里?
"Go straight for two blocks, turn left at the bank, then take the second road on your right. The hotel is at the end of that road."
A. 直走两个街区,在银行右转,第二个路口再右转,到路的尽头。
B. 直走两个街区,在银行左转,第二个路口右转,到路的尽头。
C. 直走两个街区,在银行左转,第一个路口右转,到路的尽头。
D. 直走两个街区,在银行右转,第二个路口再左转,到路的尽头。
答案:B — 直走两个街区,在银行左转,第二个路口右转,到路的尽头。
逐步解析:go straight for two blocks(直走两个街区)→ turn left at the bank(在银行左转)→ take the second road on your right(走第二个在右边的路口)→ The hotel is at the end of that road(酒店在那条路的尽头)。这是一个典型的阅读/听力题型,考验你能否把英文方向指引准确转化为动作。记住:听/读指路时,最好动手画一张简单示意图,避免方向混淆。
You: Excuse me, I'm looking for some sneakers. Do you have any in blue or white?
Staff: Yes, we have a few options. Are you looking for anything specific — running shoes or casual wear?
You: Casual, mostly. My size is UK 6.5.
Staff: Let me check... Yes, we have this pair in white with blue details. They're very popular right now.
You: They look nice! How much are they?
Staff: They're £75.
You: That's fine. Can I try them on?
Staff: Of course! The fitting area is just over there.
You:(After trying them on) These fit perfectly. I'll take them. Can I pay by card?
Staff: Absolutely! And would you like a bag?
You: Yes, please. And could I have a receipt?
Staff: Of course. Here you go. Enjoy your new sneakers!
关键表达: “I'm looking for...”开始询问;“Do you have this in...?”询问款式/颜色;“Can I try them on?”提出试穿;“I'll take them.”确认购买;“Can I pay by card?”付款方式;“Could I have a receipt?”索取收据。
Sure! When you come out of Exit B, turn right and go straight along the main road. After about 200 meters, you'll see a large shopping mall on your left. Turn left there, and walk into the mall. The restaurant is on the second floor, next to the cinema. It should take you about 5 minutes on foot. If you get lost, just look for the mall — it's very easy to spot.
(当然!从B出口出来,向右转,沿主干道直走。大约200米后,你会看到左手边有一家大型购物中心。在那里左转,走进购物中心。餐厅在二楼,电影院旁边。步行大约5分钟。如果迷路了,就找那个购物中心——非常容易看到。)
亮点表达: “you'll see [地标] on your left/right”是引路时建立参照物的标准方式;“it should take you about X minutes”是预估时间的礼貌表达;最后加一句“If you get lost, just look for...”是贴心的补充,体现了英语交流中的服务意识。
