一個漂亮的發型總會給人一個眼前一亮的感覺。美麗當然要重“頭”開始!今天在這里為大家選取了兩段有關美發的對話,如果下次你有機會到國外剪發,就不用再吱吱嗚嗚地打啞語了。
Dialogue 1:

Stylist: Hello! Welcome to Amy's Salon. How can we help you today?
發型師:你好,歡迎光臨艾米美發沙龍。我能為您做點什么?
Customer: Hello, I'd like a trim please.
客人:你好,我想修修頭發。
Stylist: Sure thing. Why don't we start off by washing your hair?
發型師:沒問題。先去洗洗頭發吧。
Customer: I just shampooed my hair an hour ago. Can we make this quick? I just need a slight trim.
客人:我一小時前才洗過?,F在開始剪行嗎?只要稍微修下邊就好。
Stylist: Alright. Please take a seat over here. (begins cutting hair…)
發型師:好的。請您那邊坐。(剪發開始……)
Customer: I think that's a little too long. Could you cut the top a little shorter, please?
客人:我覺得有點太長了。上面的頭發能再短些嗎?
Stylist: If you're going to cut the top that short, then might I suggest that you fade the sides a little shorter as well?
發型師:如果您想把上面再剪短些,那我建議您兩邊也要跟著短些。
Customer: Well… alright. I usually leave the sides a little long, but I guess I can try something new today.
客人:嗯……好吧。我兩邊的頭發通常都會長一些,不過今天我想我也試試新發型。
(continues cutting hair…)
(繼續剪發……)
Stylist: You certainly have a lot of hair. It must be hard to style sometimes.
發型師:您的頭發挺多的??隙ㄓ械臅r候很難造型。

Customer: No kidding. I have to use a ridiculous amount of gel to get my hair to stay.
客人:對啊。我不得不用很多啫喱讓頭發保持造型。
Stylist: Would you like me to thin it out a little bit?
發型師:您想讓頭發稍微薄一些嗎?
Customer: You can do that?
客人:可以嗎?
Stylist: Of course. I just have to use this pair of thinning shears, see?
發型師:當然。我用這副啞剪就搞定了,你看!
Customer: Wow, alright. Go ahead.
客人:哇,不錯。繼續吧。
Stylist: See? Now your hair is much more manageable. How does it feel?
發型師:看,現在您的頭發好打理多了吧?覺得怎么樣?
Customer: It feels a lot lighter than before. And my hair looks much more clean cut! I think I like this new look. My girlfriend is always complaining that my hair looks too greasy.
客人:感覺輕薄多了。看上去也清爽了不少。我喜歡我的新造型。我女朋友總是說我的頭發油乎乎的。
Stylist: I'm glad you like it. Let me just tidy up the sides and the back for you. (A few minutes later…) There, all finished. Would you like me to use some hairspray or mousse?
發型師:您能喜歡我很高興。讓我幫您修一下旁邊和后面的頭發吧。(幾分鐘后……)剪好了,您要用些營養水或者摩絲嗎?
Customer: I usually apply gel.
客人:我經常用啫喱的。
Stylist: I know. Your hair is a lot thinner than before, though, so you don't need to use anything as strong as gel. A little hairspray or a handful of mousse should give your hair that extra flair without making it look too greasy.
發型師:我知道。您的頭發比以前薄了很多,您就不必用像啫喱那樣的強定型產品了。噴些營養水或者上些摩絲就能讓您的頭發更有型,那樣頭發就不會油乎乎的了。
