4．Buying a Gift 买礼物

Salesclerk: May I help you, sir?

Mr. Jones: Yes, please. I'd like to buy a gift for my younger brother. He's going to take a trip to South America.

Salesclerk: By air or by sea?

Mr. Jones: By air. So my gift should be quite light. What can you suggest?

Salesclerk: How about this wallet? It's made of fine leather.

Mr. Jones: My sister already gave him one. I like something unusual.

Salesclerk: This gift is the best for a man who has everything.

Mr. Jones: Oh, a nice handkerchief. That's a great idea. I'll take it.
