Shopping for a new swimsuit is one of my least favorite activities.
去商店买一件新泳衣是我最不喜欢干的事之一。
Swimsuits have gotten smaller and smaller, so finding a modest one can be a real challenge.
泳衣变得越来越小，所以找到一件体面的泳衣真是一场挑战。
“How about this little one?” she suggested, handing me what appeared to be an empty hanger.
“这件小的怎么样？”她将看起来像空衣架的东西递给我并建议说。
“Where is it?” I asked, straining my eyes to see something.
“衣服在哪里？”我问，同时瞪大眼睛想看到某个东西。
“It’s there— behind the price tag.”
“在那里——在标价牌后面。”
I looked and looked. Finally, I spotted it. It was one of those string bathing suits.
我瞧了半天，终于看到了，那是一件带细线的泳衣。
“If I had wanted dental floss,” I said as I handed it back to her, “I would have gone to the drugstore.”
“如果我要牙线，”说着，我将那件衣服又递给了她，“我会到药店去的。”
“Well, how about this one?” she asked, holding up a tiny hot pink number.
“那这件怎么样？”她问道，将一个鲜粉红色的微小型号递给我。
“That’s a bathing suit?” I said in disbelief. “If I buy that, what will Barbie wear this summer?”
“这是泳衣吗？”我怀疑地说，“我要是买了这个，芭比娃娃今年夏天穿什么？”
