(结束篇)

Amber goes to a department store to buy some empty videotape cartridges. She has become enthralled by a TV program called 'Cops', and is recording every episode. She also wants to check out the video cameras while she's at it. How does she get around the store? And what is so interesting about this show?

Amber:(to another shopper) Excuse me. where can I find the information desk?

Shopper:Just around the corner (points the way).

Amber:Thanks. (She gets to the information counter. He overhears an inquiry by the customer ahead of him).

Customer:Where's the 'Lost and Found' counter?

Officer:On the 2nd floor, near the elevator.

Customer:Where's the elevator?

Officer:To your right, near the middle of the store.

(Now it's John's turn. She steps up to the desk.) Hello. Can you tell me the closing time?

Officer:10 PM, miss.

Amber:Thank you. And can you point me to the video cameras?

Officer:5th floor, to the left of the escalators.

Amber:Thank you. (He gets on the escalator and goes to the 5th floor. First he picks up a supply of videotapes, and then he browses around the video cameras for a while. Then he overhears another customer).

Customer:Let's go to the food court and get something to eat.

(Sounds like a good idea to Amber, since she hasn't had dinner yet. She wanted to make sure she could tape the next episode of 'Cops', so she left for the department store right after work. She finds out where the food court is and goes to eat).

Amber来到当地的一家商店，她想买一些空白的录像带。她最近迷上了一个叫'Cops'的电视节目，每集必录。同时她还想去看看录像机。她怎样在超市里找到正确的路径呢?那个节目到底有什么吸引人的方呢?

Amber:(对另一个店员说)打扰一下，那可以找到咨询台?

Shopper:就在那个拐角处。(指出了方向)

Amber:谢谢。(她来到咨询台，恰好听到前面的顾客在咨询)

Customer:失物认领处在哪?

Officer:在二楼，靠近电梯。

Customer:电梯呢?

Officer:在你的右边，在商店的中部。

(现在该轮到John了。她走到台前。)你好，请问什么时候结束营业?

Officer:晚上十点，小姐。

Amber:谢谢。你能给我指一下摄影机柜台在哪吗?

Officer:在五楼，就在自动扶梯的左边。

Amber:谢谢。(他踏上自动扶梯上了五楼。他先选了一些空白带，然后又随便看了看录像机。这时他又恰巧听见了一个顾客的话).

Customer:我们去食品柜台买点吃的。

(Amber觉得是一个好主意，因为她还没吃饭呢。她为了确保能录到下一集'Cops'，一下班就跑到商店里来了。她找到餐厅就去吃饭了。)
