Lesson 8 Key Conversation Just a Trim, Please

Prescott: What will it be today, Miranda?

Miranda: I'm thinking of chopping it all off for the summertime. What do you think?

Prescott: You could definitely pull off a short, chin-length bob.

Miranda: My hair is so flat, though. It might make my face look too long.

Prescott: Nah, I'll add some layers to create some body and soften¹ up your look.

Miranda: Hmm…on second thought, I think I'll just get a trim for today.

Prescott: Miss Conservative. Well, what about letting me add some highlights?

Miranda: Yeah, I need something to cover this stupid gray.

Prescott: It's not too bad! I think that will freshen up your look.

Miranda: Thanks. OK, make me beautiful!

 

第8课 请稍微修剪一下

普雷斯科特：米兰达，今天是什么日子？

米兰达：我想在夏天把长发剪掉。你怎么认为？

普雷斯科特：你可以做一个齐下巴的短发。

米兰达：不过我的头发太平了。这可能会让我的脸看起来太长。

普雷斯科特：不，我会增加一些层次来塑造身体，让你看起来更柔和。

米兰达：嗯……再想一想，我想我今天就修剪一下。

普雷斯科特：保守派小姐。那么，让我添加一些亮点怎么样？

米兰达：是的，我需要一些东西来遮盖这愚蠢的灰色。

普雷斯科特：还不错！我想这会使你的容貌焕然一新。

米兰达：谢谢。好吧，让我变得美丽！
