Today, Mommy and Daddy are going to buy something for Pat’s birthday. They don’t know what they will buy yet – they want to look first. Daddy thinks they should buy Pat something she can use in school. He tells Mommy they should buy her a new bag for school. He says Pat can use the bag for her writing books, reading books, pens, pencils, ruler and eraser.
今天，妈妈和爸爸准备为佩特生日买点东西。他们不知道要买什么——他们想先看看。爸爸认为他们应该给佩特买一些她在学校可以使用的东西。他告诉妈妈他应该给她买一个新书包上学。他说佩特可以用这个包来装她的写作书，阅读书，钢笔，铅笔，尺子和橡皮。
Mommy doesn’t think a bag would be a good present for Pat. Mommy knows that Pat would like to have something she can play with. She knows that Pat loves to play with her friends’ dolls. Pat is Mommy’s daughter, and Mommy always knows what her daughter wants. Mommy understands her daughter very well and loves her very much. Daddy doesn’t understand his daughter as well as Mommy does.
妈妈认为包对佩特来说不是件好礼物。妈妈知道佩特想要一些她能玩的东西。她知道佩特喜欢和她朋友的洋娃娃玩。佩特是妈妈的女儿，妈妈总是知道她女儿想要什么。妈妈很了解她的女儿，非常爱她。爸爸不像妈妈那样理解他的女儿。
Now, Mommy and Daddy are outside the toy shop. In the shop window there are lots of nice dolls. Mommy can count sixteen, seventeen or eighteen dolls in the window. Some of the dolls are big. Others are small. All of the dolls have nice clothes. One or two of the dolls have hats. One of the dolls has a big blue hat, yellow hair and a pink dress. Mommy thinks Pat would like to have a doll like that.
现在，妈妈和爸爸在玩具店外面。商店橱窗里有许多漂亮的洋娃娃。妈妈可以在橱窗里数出十六、十七或十八个娃娃。有些是大娃娃。其他是小的。所有的娃娃都有漂亮的衣服。有一两个娃娃有帽子。其中一个娃娃有一顶蓝色的大帽子、黄色的头发和一件粉红色的连衣裙。妈妈认为佩特想要一个像那样的洋娃娃。
Daddy doesn’t like that doll. He doesn’t like its big blue hat, and he thinks the doll’s face is not so beautiful. He says if they get Pat a doll, they should get one without a hat. He thinks dolls without hats look better.
爸爸不喜欢那个洋娃娃。他不喜欢那顶蓝色的大帽子，他觉得娃娃的脸没那么漂亮。他说如果他们要给佩特买一个洋娃娃，他们应该买一个没有帽子的。他认为没有帽子的娃娃看起来更好。
Mommy doesn’t listen to Daddy. She thinks Daddy doesn’t know what his daughter likes. Mommy knows what girls like because she can remember when she was a young girl. When Mommy was a young girl, she really liked dolls. She had a doll until she was seventeen or eighteen years old. She liked to take that doll into her bedroom and play with it on her own.
妈妈不听爸爸的话。她认为爸爸不知道女儿喜欢什么。妈妈知道女孩喜欢什么，因为她能记得她小时候的样子。当妈妈还是个小女孩的时候，她真的很喜欢娃娃。她有一个娃娃，直到她十七岁或十八岁。她喜欢把洋娃娃放在卧室里自己玩。
Mommy and Daddy go up to the toy shop door, open it and go into the shop. Just now, it is very quiet in the shop. Mommy wants someone to come and help her, so she goes up to a woman who works in the shop. That woman can help Mommy find a good present for Pat.
妈妈和爸爸走到玩具店的门前，打开它，走进商店。刚才商店里很安静。妈妈希望有人来帮助她，所以她走到一个在商店女员工那里。那个女员工能帮妈妈给佩特找到一件好礼物。

Mommy
Excuse me.
Woman
Yes. Good afternoon. Can I help you?
Mommy
Yes. Good afternoon. I’m looking for something for my daughter. It’s her birthday tomorrow.
Woman
I see. How old will your daughter be tomorrow?
Mommy
Nine. She will be nine years old tomorrow.
Woman
Well, we have lots of games here. And some of our games are ones teachers use to help them teach children things like reading or counting.
Mommy
Really?
Woman
Yes. And some of our games are for children up to sixteen or seventeen years old.
Mommy
I think my daughter would just like something that is fun to play with. She really loves playing with dolls.
Woman
Oh well, we have lots of nice dolls here. All the girls who come into our shop love our dolls.
Mommy
How about that one, over there?
Woman
Which one?
Mommy
That one. The very big one with the blue hat.
Woman
Oh, yes. That doll is nice, isn’t it? It’s quite expensive because it’s so big, but I think your daughter would really love that doll.
Mommy
I think so, too. I really like its hair. It’s so yellow!
Woman
Yes, and that doll has its own hairbrush. Your daughter can use the hairbrush to brush the doll’s hair. And look here – this doll has seventeen or eighteen beautiful white teeth.
Mommy
Oh, yes. I see.
Woman
Your daughter can brush the doll’s teeth, too. She can wash the doll’s face, and she can put the doll’s clothes on, too. That doll comes with lots of different clothes.
Mommy
All right. I’ll take that doll. Here, I’ll get the money for you.
Woman
Okay. I’ll get all the doll’s clothes and put them in a bag for you. Then, I’ll help you take the doll out to your car.
妈妈
不好意思，打扰一下。
女员工
下午好。你好，我能帮你吗？
妈妈
下午好。我在给我女儿看礼物。明天是她的生日。
女员工
我知道了。你女儿明天几岁？
妈妈
九岁。她明天就九岁了。
女员工
嗯，我们这里有很多游戏。我们的一些游戏是老师用来帮助孩子们阅读和数数的。
妈妈
真的？
女员工
对。我们的一些游戏是为十六到十七岁的孩子准备的。
妈妈
我想我女儿会喜欢好玩的东西。她真的很喜欢玩洋娃娃。
女员工
哦，我们这里有很多漂亮的洋娃娃。所有到我们店里来的女孩都喜欢我们的洋娃娃。
妈妈
那边那个怎么样？
女员工
哪一个？
妈妈
那一个。戴蓝色帽子的大娃娃。
女员工
哦，是的。那个洋娃娃很漂亮，对吧？它太大了所有很贵，但是我想你女儿会很喜欢那个洋娃娃的。
妈妈
我也这么想。我真的很喜欢它的头发。颜色很黄！
女员工
是的，这娃娃有自己的梳子。你的女儿可以用梳子梳娃娃的头发。看这里，这个娃娃有十七颗或十八颗美丽的白牙齿。
妈妈
哦，是的。我看到了。
女员工
你女儿也能刷娃娃的牙齿。她给娃娃洗脸，她也可以给娃娃穿衣服。那个洋娃娃有许多不同的衣服。
妈妈
好吧。我要那个洋娃娃。来，我来拿钱。
女员工
可以。我会把所有洋娃娃的衣服都放进你的包里。然后，我会帮你把娃娃带到你的车上。
