Todd: Okay, so I'm here with Jen and we're talking about clothing. Now, Jen, I'm a bit older than you, so I probably don't really care about what I wear so much. I always kind of pay the same price for my clothing. So I'm wondering, what's it like for a younger person? How much are you willing to pay? What is your price range?
Jen: It depends upon like what you're buying. For example, if it's a pair of jeans then I would pay around 4,000 yen, that's Japanese yen. $40?
这要取决于买什么衣服。举例来说,如果是牛仔裤,那4000日元左右我可以接受。大概40美元?
Todd: Oh really? That's still relatively cheap. Like some people pay like $100, right? Or $200.
哦,真的吗?那相当便宜了。有些人愿意花100美元,对吧?或者200美元。
Jen: I don't think I would ever pay that much because I'm a student right now, so paying more than that would be something I wouldn't do.
我认为我不会花那么多钱,因为我现在还是学生,我不会花超过40美元的价格买牛仔裤,我接受不了。
Todd: Well what about in your home country of Nepal? How much would people pay for pants there?
嗯,那你的祖国尼泊尔呢?尼泊尔人会花多少钱买裤子?
Jen: In Nepal, like compared to Japan, it's really cheap there. You can actually get a really decent pant in 1,500 yen.
和日本相比,尼泊尔的商品价格非常便宜。1500日元就能买一条相当不错的裤子。
Todd: That's like $15.
大概15美元。
Jen: Yes.
对。
Todd: Around. Oh that's good. What's the cheapest you would pay? I mean, I guess you could get stuff for free, but what's the lowest you pay for clothes? Or for pants? For pants?
Jen: Okay, so sometimes when there's a sale and especially if there's shorts then you can just get it for like 500 yen.
好,有时有折扣,尤其是短裤非常便宜,500日元就能买一条短裤。
Todd: Oh wow. Five bucks.
哇哦。那大概是5美元。
Jen: Like five bucks, yeah.
5美元左右,对。
Todd: That's good. Now what about shoes? Do you have a lot of shoes?
不错。那鞋呢?你的鞋多吗?
Jen: Yes I do.
很多。
Todd: Okay, for some people like shoes they spend a lot of money on shoes. I have a rule, unless it's dress shoes for work, I don't like to spend anything over $100. If it's athletic shoes, like sneakers, never more than $50. Ever.
