Shop- keeper : Do you need any fruit? Our fruit is very fresh today. Sarah : How do you sell the lemons? Shop- keeper : Lemons are three for ten cents. Sarah : Are they juicy? I want to use them for juice. Shop-keeper : They are ripe and juicy, so are the watermelon. Sarah : No, I don't want watermelons. They're not in season yet. Just give me a dozen lemons. Shop- keeper : Very well. Anything else? Sarah : I also need a loaf of sliced bread and a pound of coffee. Shop- keeper : What kind of coffee? Drip or instant? Sarah : Give me the coarser grind. We make coffee in a percolator at home. Shop- keeper : All right. Sarah : And a bottle of catsup. Any brand will do....Can you send this order to my house this afternoon? Shop- keeper : Certainly! Sarah : Thanks. How much will that be? I'll give you a cheque now. Vocabulary 注释 1.Grind n.碾、研磨,亦可当动词。 2.Percolator n.咖啡过滤器,附有过滤器的咖啡壶。
