　　贝丝在咖啡屋里等待去采购圣诞商品的阿力。终于，阿力来了。

　　Beth: Did youget everything?

　　Alex: Hardly. I haven't even got half my presents。

　　Beth: I told you it'd be busy。

　　Alex: Ok, clever clogs!

　　Beth: People go completely round the bend, don't they? You'd thinkthe shops were going to close for a whole month。

　　Alex: To be honest, I wish they would。

　　贝丝：要买的都买了吗？

　　阿力：没有啊，我连一半的礼物都没买到。

　　贝丝：我就说现在购物会很挤嘛。

　　阿力：好吧，你总是对的。

　　贝丝：人们完全疯了，难道不是吗？你以为商店整个月都要关门吧。

　　阿力：说实话，我真希望如此。
