纯正地道美语 第141期(外教讲解):我该穿什么?

A: Honey come on! We are going to be late! Honestly, you take longer getting ready than I do!

B: I was drying my hair and ironing my shirt! Can you come here for a sec? I need your help.

A: What is it? Why are all these clothes on the bed?

B: I don’t know what to wear! Ok, give me your opinion. Do you like the way this looks?  The striped short sleeved shirt with this checkered¹ sweater  and my lucky sandals. I like the cut and hemline of these shorts so I think
I’ll wear these as well.

A:Are you joking? What am I going to do with you? We are going to a dinner party not the beach! Wear the shirt with the silk tie I bought you and these corduroy pants. It’s chilly² outside so you can wear this coat.

B:Thanks  honey!   You  have  such  great  fashion sense. Now, what am I going to do with my hair?
