    Dialogue 1 
    Candy wants to become an artist, so she goes to an art store to buy some supplies.
    蔻蒂想要成為畫家，所以她去美術用品店買用具。
    Clerk: Hello. May I help you? 店員： 哈囉，請問您需要什麼嗎？
    Candy: Yes. I want to become an artist, so I need to buy some supplies for my new art studio. 蔻蒂： 有的，我想成為藝術家，所以我需要添購一些用具放在我的新工作室中。
    Clerk: Are you more interested in painting or sculpting? 店員： 請問您對繪畫還是對雕塑比較有興趣？
    Candy: Well, actually, I'm interested in both as well as making pottery. 蔻蒂： 嗯，事實上，我對兩者都有興趣，還有對製陶也是。
    Clerk: Well then, you'll need to purchase quite a few things. For painting, you'll need an easel, some canvases, a palette, paintbrushes, and of course a smock to keep your clothes from getting paint on them. By the way, what kind of paints are you interested in using? 店員： 嗯，那樣的話您需要買很多東西。如果是繪畫用品，您需要一座畫架、一些畫布、一塊調色板，畫筆，當然還有工作服，以免顏料沾在您的衣服上。對了，您想用哪種顏料？
    Candy: I think I'd like to work with watercolors. What will I need for making pottery? 蔻蒂： 我想畫水彩畫。我需要什麼捏陶器具？
    Clerk: You'll need a potter's wheel, a kiln for drying your pottery, and of course some clay. All of that will be pretty expensive. 店員： 您需要拉坏機、要有一座窯燒製您的陶藝作品，當然還有黏土。那些東西都很貴。
    Candy: That's not a problem. My rich aunt died recently and left me a ton of money. 蔻蒂： 那不成問題。我有錢的阿姨最近過世且留了一堆錢給我。
    Clerk: I'm sorry to hear about your aunt. 店員： 很遺憾聽到您阿姨的死訊。
    Candy: Ah, It's OK. She was an old shrew anyway. Now let's get started on buying my art supplies! 蔻蒂： 喔，別在意。反正她是隻老態龍鍾的母老虎。現在我們開始來選購我的美術用具吧！
    Dialogue 2 
    Abraham and Gertrude are visiting an art gallery.
    亞伯拉罕和珂筑正在逛畫廊。
    Abraham: I'm really excited that we have the opportunity to see this art exhibit while it's in town. 亞伯拉罕︰ 我真的很高興這畫展在城裡展覽的期間，我們有此機會來參觀。
    Gertrude: Yeah. I could spend all day here just staring at all the beautiful paintings. 珂筑： 對呀。我可以在這裡花上一整天的時間用力欣賞這些美麗的畫作。
    Abraham: This one over here is really bizarre. It looks like the artist just splashed a bunch of different colors on the canvas. 亞伯拉罕： 這邊這幅真的很奇怪。看起來這個畫家只是把一堆不同顏色的顏料潑在畫布上而已。
    Gertrude: That's because it's an abstract painting, you silly goose! 珂筑︰ 那是因為這是抽象畫，你這呆頭鵝！
    Abraham: Oh, I see. I think I prefer more realistic paintings. But I have to admit, the artist does seem to have quite a bit of imagination. 亞伯拉罕： 喔，我了了。我想我比較喜歡寫實畫。但我必須承認，這個畫家似乎很有想像力。
