圣诞节前夜你仍然在商场里。难道你还没购完吗？

不，不，没有！我还没有没到送我母亲的礼物。

她的礼物很难买吗？告诉我们一下实际情况。

是的，她比较挑剔。

那现在这些礼物是送给其他人的吗？

是的。

大部分都是给母亲的。是的。

是的，父亲的一点。大部分是给母亲的。

Ted，你这里有一份维多利亚秘密内衣套装。这应该是给妻子的。

是的，是给我妻子的。

不是女朋友？

不是女朋友。

那是什么。

不是很确定。不是狗，也不是猪，类似的冻死。

这个包里面是什么东西呢？

我一直梦想的东西。

那么，这不是圣诞节的一部分。意思是，这是你现在拥有的东西，因为她一直在购物，你现在才有时间为自己买东西。

你还给女朋友买了什么东西，因为，因为这是逃不掉的。

是的，当然还有其他东西，但是……

那里有一个珠宝店，你可以考虑一下。

这个建议不错。

你准备什么时候停止购物？

随时准备。

现在看上去是最后时刻了，为什么有那么大压力呢？

我似乎感觉到有什么东西追着我，难道你不是整天工作，下班之后又要做其他事情吗？

所以你也在为接下来的节日做准备。

是的，我猜，是这样的。

你知道另外一个节日就要开始了，是吗？

是的。

那么，你会不会觉得自己准备的太迟了？

我还需要几天才能感觉到我是正确的。

一直都是我妻子购物的，现在我只是帮她，我会做好的。

没有压力，你看上去似乎非常轻松。

是的，有一些圣诞礼物。有很多促销。

现在有没有很多大家抢购的东西？

很多。就好象现在的热销产品。这些产品往往会被一抢而空。大家都跑来买。

对。

这听上去很棒。
