买运动器材——Buy Some Sport Equipment
Bob: Hey, do you know of a good place to buy some sport equipment?
Phil: I know there's a big department store on the edge of town. They probably have some sports equipment. What sports are you looking for?
Bob: Baseball and golf. So it should not be too hard to find.
Phil: There's also a golf store in New York. I think they have more expensive equipment.
Bob: Maybe I'll go there first and see what they have. And I can always stop at the department store on my way home.
Phil: Do you mind if I come with you? I've been wanting to pick up some more golf balls.
Bob: No problem.
鲍伯:嘿,你知道去哪里买运动器材比较好吗?
菲尔:我知道在小镇边上有一家大百货商店。那儿没准儿有运动器材。你想买什么运动器材?
鲍伯:棒球和高尔夫球。所以应该不难买到。
菲尔:纽约有一家高尔夫专卖店。我觉得他们那儿会有贵一点的器材。
鲍伯:或许我该先过去看看他们都有什么。至于百货商店,我每次回家的路上都能停到那儿进去看看。
菲尔:你介意我跟你一起去吗?我一直都想再买些高尔夫球。
鲍伯:没问题。

美国超市文化
在美国,说到连锁大型超市,沃尔玛(Wal-Mart)超市几乎就是其代名词。沃尔玛能让美国人选择它,并不是没有其他的连锁超市与它分庭抗礼。在美国,和沃尔玛同年创立的凯马特(Kmart)因没能在消费者心中树立鲜明统一的品牌形象而示弱。堪称现代超市的鼻祖,第一批以“自选”为主题的连锁店之一伍尔沃斯(Woolworths)在20世纪中期就已将店铺开到了英国、德国、澳大利亚,但后来过度扩张和转型失败,加上1979年英国分店的一场大火,百年老店终于在巨额赔偿和声名受损下一蹶不振,为小弟沃尔玛让出了位置。
