你好呀,欢迎收听:英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱
彩蛋: 这期我家有3只猫"出镜"了 🐱🐱🐱能猜出是哪三只吗?
1. What do you usually shop for?
I mostly shop for daily necessities and a few things for my cats, so products like groceries, books, clothes, plus cat food and litter. For groceries, I prefer the local supermarket for packaged stuff and the fresh-food market for fresh veggies and meat since the produce there is fresher.
But for things like books and clothes, I always buy those online. They're often cheaper than in physical retail stores, and the best part is they get delivered right to my door, so no need to carry heavy bags around.
* mostly 主要地;通常
* daily necessities 日常必需品
* products 产品;物品
* groceries 食品杂货
* cat litter 猫砂
* packaged stuff 包装好的商品
* fresh-food market 生鲜市场
* fresh veggies 新鲜蔬菜
* produce 农产品
* physical retail stores 实体零售店
* delivered right to my door 直接送到家门口
2. Do you often go to malls?
I guess so, at least once a week. There are two malls really close to where I live, both around four floors, though the one that is closest is half the size. Both have everything though: restaurants, clothing stores, home appliance shops, cinemas, and even supermarkets. Sometimes when I go, I just go to have a look, window shopping, plus I like the vibe, or vibrancy of the place. Malls have this busy, lively atmosphere that's nice to be around, even if I'm just meeting a friend for coffee.
* half the size 一半大小
* home appliance shops 家电专卖店
* go to have a look 去看看
* window shopping 橱窗购物;逛而不买
* plus 而且;另外
* the vibe 氛围
* vibrancy 活力
* lively atmosphere 热闹的氛围
3. Do you shop online a lot?
I do, actually, yes. Like I mentioned earlier, I get books, clothes, and most importantly, cat supplies online. Cat food and litter are things I need to restock regularly, so buying them online makes way more sense, especially as they can be heavy. They're also way cheaper than in stores, and like I said, I don't have to haul them home. Door-to-door service is great, and saves me so much hassle.
* restock regularly 定期补货
* makes way more sense 合理得多
* haul 拖/运
* Door-to-door service 送货上门服务
* saves me so much hassle 省去很多麻烦
4. How common are shopping centers in your country?
In cities, they're absolutely ubiquitous. Despite online shopping, people still like going to malls, especially as they have, as I mentioned earlier, everything including restaurants and cinemas, so pretty much every community or neighborhood has some sort of shopping center or plaza or mall.
Also, I think for many families, going to the mall on weekends is basically a ritual: they'll shop a little, eat together, maybe watch a movie. Young people also love hanging out there to meet up with friends, go window shopping, or to just chill.
* ubiquitous 随处可见
* online shopping 网购
* so pretty much every 所以几乎每个
* neighborhood 街区
* some sort of 某种
* plaza 广场
* basically a ritual 基本上是一种惯例
* hanging out 闲逛;泡(在某地)
* chill 放松
