Lesson 41 — Do you call that a hat? · 新概念英语第二册

原文

Do you call that a hat? I said to my wife, you needn't be so rude about it. My wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror. I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited.

We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror. We mustn't buy things we don't need, I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once. You needn't have said that, my wife answered.

I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday. She ties. And a woman can't have too many hats, she answered. Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together.

My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse.

译文

你管那叫帽子吗？我对我妻子说，你不必这么粗鲁。妻子看着镜子里的自己回答道。我坐在一张有洞的现代椅子上等待。

我们在帽子店待了半个小时，我的妻子仍然站在镜子前。我们不能买不需要的东西，我突然说道。我几乎立刻就后悔说了这句话。你不必这么说，我妻子回答道。

我不需要提醒你昨天买的那条糟糕的领带。她打结。她回答说，女人不能戴太多帽子。十分钟后，我们一起走出了商店。

我妻子戴着一顶看起来像灯塔的帽子。
