Pat is asking Mommy about the shops

佩特在向妈妈询问商店

Pat

What are we going to buy first, Mommy?

Mommy

Well, I’m looking in the shop windows. I’m looking for a shop that sells potatoes and tomatoes.

Pat

Oh, look at that shop window over there! That shop has tomatoes!

Mommy

All right. I’ll stop the car here. You get out, go into the shop and ask if their tomatoes are new. I don’t want any old tomatoes.

Pat

All right.

Mommy

And I think that shop should sell potatoes, too. If they do, buy some potatoes. But don’t get any old ones!

Pat

How many should I buy?

Mommy

Buy enough for one week. But remember, Daddy eats a lot of potatoes so you will need to get a lot.

Pat

Yes, and if Tom comes to dinner, we will need a lot more of everything. Should I buy some meat, too?

Mommy

I don’t think that shop sells meat. Go into the shop next to it. I think that shop sells meat. If they do, buy some chicken.

Pat

All right. I’ll go now. Excuse me please, Lee. Let me get out of the car please.

Mommy

Thank you, Pat. After you buy the tomatoes, potatoes and chicken, we’ll go down this road a little more.

Pat

Why?

Mommy

I want to look for a shop that sells fish, and then a shop that sells orange-juice. Oh, and Pat?

Pat

Yes?

Mommy

Don’t take a long time. I can’t stop the car here long.

Pat

All right, Mommy. I won’t be long.

佩特

我们要先买什么，妈妈？

妈妈

哦，我在看商店橱窗里面。我在找卖土豆和西红柿的商店。

佩特

啊，看那里的商店橱窗！那家商店有西红柿。

妈妈

好。我会把车停在这儿。你下车，去商店问问他们的西红柿是否新鲜。我不想要不新鲜的西红柿。

佩特

好的。

妈妈

我想那家商店也卖土豆。如果是，买些土豆。但是不要买不新鲜的土豆。

佩特

我要买多少呢？

妈妈

买够吃一周的。不过记住，爸爸吃的土豆多，所以你需要买多些。

佩特

好的，如果汤姆来用餐，我们每样食物都得买多些。我还应该买肉吗？

妈妈

我想那家商店不卖肉。去旁边那家商店。我想旁边那家商店卖肉。如果是，买些鸡肉。

佩特

好。我现在去了。请借过一下，李。请让我下车。

妈妈

谢谢你，佩特。你买了西红柿、土豆和鸡肉后，我们会沿路向前开车。

佩特

为什么？

妈妈

我想要找卖鱼的商店和卖橙汁的商店。哦，佩特？

佩特

怎么啦？

妈妈

不要花太长时间。我在这儿不能停车太长时间。

佩特

好的，妈妈。我不会花太长时间。
