你好，我想买一双跑步鞋，你能帮我推荐一下吗？
nǐ hǎo, wǒ xiǎng mǎi yì shuāng pǎobù xié, nǐ néng bāng wǒ tuījiàn yíxià ma?
Hi, I'd like to buy a pair of running shoes. Could you give me some recommendations?
L
当然可以。请问您平时主要在哪儿跑步呢？
dāngrán kěyǐ. qǐngwèn nín píngshí zhǔyào zài nǎr pǎobù ne?
Of course. May I ask where you usually do most of your running?

我一般在公园的塑胶跑道上跑，一周跑三四次。
wǒ yìbān zài gōngyuán de sùjiāo pǎodào shàng pǎo, yì zhōu pǎo sān sì cì.
I usually run on the rubber track in the park, three or four times a week.

明白了。那我给您推荐这一款，它的鞋底比较软，特别适合在跑道上跑。
míngbái le. nà wǒ gěi nín tuījiàn zhè yì kuǎn, tā de xiédǐ bǐjiào ruǎn, tèbié shìhé zài pǎodào shàng pǎo.
I see. Then let me recommend this model. Its sole is fairly soft, so it's especially suitable for running on a track.

看起来不错。这双鞋重不重啊？我怕跑起来太累。
kànqǐlái búcuò. zhè shuāng xié zhòng bú zhòng a? wǒ pà pǎoqǐlái tài lèi.
Looks good. Are these shoes heavy? I'm worried they'd be too tiring to run in.

您放心，这双鞋特别轻，穿着也很舒服，您可以试穿一下。
nín fàngxīn, zhè shuāng xié tèbié qīng, chuānzhe yě hěn shūfu, nín kěyǐ shìchuān yíxià.
Don't worry, these shoes are very light and comfortable to wear. You can try them on.
W
嗯，穿上确实挺舒服的。那这双多少钱？
èn, chuān shàng quèshí tǐng shūfu de. nà zhè shuāng duōshǎo qián?
Mm, they really are comfortable once I put them on. So how much is this pair?
L
这双原价六百八十块，不过现在店里正好在做活动。
zhè shuāng yuánjià liùbǎi bāshí kuài, búguò xiànzài diàn lǐ zhènghǎo zài zuò huódòng.
This pair is originally 680 yuan, but right now the store happens to be running a promotion.
W
太好了！那现在能打几折啊？
tài hǎo le! nà xiànzài néng dǎ jǐ zhé a?
Great! So what kind of discount can I get right now?
L
现在打八折，算下来是五百四十四块。要是您办张会员卡，还能再便宜二十块。
xiànzài dǎ bā zhé, suàn xiàlái shì wǔbǎi sìshísì kuài. yàoshi nín bàn zhāng huìyuánkǎ, hái néng zài piányi èrshí kuài.
Right now it's 20% off, which comes to 544 yuan. And if you sign up for a membership card, you can save another 20 yuan.
W
那可太划算了，我就要这双，顺便办张会员卡吧。
nà kě tài huásuàn le, wǒ jiù yào zhè shuāng, shùnbiàn bàn zhāng huìyuánkǎ ba.
That's a really good deal—I'll take this pair, and I'll sign up for a membership card while I'm at it.
