欢迎关注VX公众号：英语主播Emily获取更多英语学习资料和课程A: Bill, Bill, you gotta help me.比尔，比尔，你一定要帮帮我。B: What's wrong? Slow down or you're gonna give yourself a heart attack. 怎么啦？慢点儿说，你这样心脏会受不了的。A: Tomorrow is Christmas, and I haven't bought my mom anything. I'm such a bad son. 明天就是圣诞节了，我还没给我妈妈买礼物，我真是个不孝子。B: Take it easy. Let's go to the mall window-shop a little and see if there is anything she might like.不要紧张，我们去商场就看看，先不买。看一下有没有她喜欢的东西。A: That's just it. I don't know what to get her. Last year, I got her a rain that was two sizes too big and a pair of shoes five sizes too small. I suck at getting presents for people.就这就是问题所在。我不知道给她买什么。去年我给她买了一个戒指和一双鞋子，结果戒指大了两码，鞋子小了五码。我真是不会买礼物。B: That's where you're making a big mistake, you can't just guess people's likes or sizes, especially with clothes or jewelry. On top of that, I think that you should get your mom something that shows how much you love her. At the same time, you should show her that you took the time and effort to look for something that she would really like.你大错特错了。你不能只想着别人的喜好或者尺码，尤其是衣服和珠宝。除了那些以外，我觉得你应该给你妈妈买一些能够表达你对她爱的东西。同时，你还应该让她知道，为了买这些她真正喜欢的东西，你花了很多时间和精力。A: Yeah, you're right. When it comes down to it, I can be pretty tacky. 是的，你说的对。其实归根结底就是我很俗气。B: Yeah, tell me about it. I know your mom is trying to learn spanish, right? Why don't you get her a gift certificate for this great website I saw called Spanishpod?可不是嘛！我了解到你妈妈最近想学西班牙语是吗？我看到有一个网站叫Spanish pod，为什么不在那个网站上给她制作一张证书作为礼物呢？A: Now that's a great idea. 真是个好主意。Pronunciation:give yourself a heart attack→fə;dətomorrow is→wɪand I→daɪmom anything→mesuch a→tʃətake it easy→kɪdəwindow shop a→pəthere is anything→rɪ;zejust it→dɪget her→dərgot her a→dərəand a→dəpair of→rəsuck at→kəlikes or sizes→sɔːrclothes or→zɔːron top of that→pəget your→tʃurlove her→vərtime and effort→mə;newhen it comes down to it→nɪ;wɪtell me about it→jədɪmom is→mɪdon't you→tʃuwebsite I→daɪthat's a→tsə
