An Art Purchase

購買藝術(shù)品

Kathy and Evan visit a local art gallery near Kings New Square.

凱西和艾凡參觀了國王新廣場附近的一家當(dāng)?shù)孛佬g(shù)館。

E:I like these etchings, Kathy. Let's stop in here to take a look.

艾凡：凱西，我喜歡這些蝕刻畫。咱們進(jìn)去看看吧。

K:I don't know, Evan. This place looks pretty ritzy.

凱西：艾凡，我不知道該不該進(jìn)去　。這個(gè)地方看起來很豪華。

E:Come on. We're just going to have a look. All galleries look ritzy, but sometimes you can find a good buy.

艾凡：拜托。我們只是進(jìn)去看看而已。所有的美術(shù)館看起來都很豪華，但是有時(shí)候你可以買到很劃算的東西。

K:It's up to you.

(They enter and look around.)

凱西：由你決定。

(他們進(jìn)去逛了起來。)

K:You're right, Evan. These etchings, paintings, and silkscreens are really nice. Too bad we can't afford anything.

凱西：艾凡，你說得對(duì)。這些蝕刻畫、水彩畫和絹畫真的很不錯(cuò)。只可惜我們買不起任何東西。

E:I don't know about that. Look at this glass etching of the Little Mermaid.

艾凡：我看不見得。看這件刻有小美人魚的玻璃器皿。

K:Ooh! That is pretty, Evan. It must have taken a lot of time to etch that. Very fine detail, and a good likeness, too. I don't dare ask how much it is.

凱西：哦!艾凡，好漂亮哦，蝕刻這個(gè)圖案一定花了不少時(shí)間。刻工精細(xì)又很逼真。我沒有勇氣問它要多少錢。

E:38 euros.

艾凡：三十八歐元。

K:And that is...?

凱西：那就等于……?

E:About fifty bucks. To me, it's worth it.

艾凡：五十元美金左右。對(duì)我來說，它值這個(gè)價(jià)錢。

K:If you have enough, then go for it!

凱西：如果你錢夠的話，就去買吧!
