Conversation Two
对话二
M： Hello, I wish to buy a bottle of wine.
你好，我想买瓶葡萄酒。
W： Hi, yes. What kind of wine would you like?
你好，您喜欢什么酒?
M： I don't know. Sorry, I don't know much about wine.
我不知道，对不起，我不太懂酒。
W： That's no problem at all. What's the occasion and how much would you like to spend?
没事的，请问什么场合用，预算是多少?
M： It's for my boss. It's his birthday. I know he likes wine, but I don't know what type.
这是送给我老板的生日生物，我知道他喜欢喝葡萄酒，但我不知道是哪种。
I also do not want anything too expensive, maybe mid-range.
不要太贵，中档就行。
How much would you say is a mid-range bottle of wine approximately?
一瓶中档葡萄酒大约多少钱?
W： Well, it varies greatly. Our lowest prices are around $ 6 a bottle,
价格有高有低，最便宜的大约6美元一瓶，
but those are table wines. They are not very special. And I would not suggest them as a gift.
但这些都是普通的佐餐酒，没有什么特别之处，我不建议您买这种葡萄酒送给你的老板，
On the other end, our most expensive bottles are over $ 150.
我们最昂贵的葡萄酒一瓶超过150美元。
If you are looking for something priced in the middle,
如果您想选中间价位的，
I would say anything between $ 30 and $ 60 would make a decent gift. How does that sound?
我觉得30美元到60美元之间都可以，您觉得怎么样？
M： Mm, yeah.
嗯。
I guess something in the vicinity of 30 or 40 would be good. Which type would you recommend?
我希望价格在三四十美元。你有什么建议吗？
W： I would say the safest option is always a red wine.
我认为红葡萄酒是个不错的选择。
They are generally more popular than whites, and can usually be paired with food more easily.
因为红葡萄酒通常比白葡萄酒更受欢迎，并且红葡萄酒与食物更好搭配，
Our specialty here are Italian wines, and these tend to be fruity with medium acidity.
意大利葡萄酒是我们这里的特色，这些葡萄酒果味酸度适中。
This one here is a Chianti, which is perhaps Italy's most famous type of red wine.
这是基安蒂红葡萄酒，这也许是意大利最有名的红葡萄酒。
Alternatively, you may wish to try and surprise your boss with something less common, such as this Zinfandel.
或者，你也可以尝试送一些不太常见的酒当作一个惊喜送给你的老板，比如这个仙粉黛。
The grapes are originally native to Croatia but this winery is in eastern Italy and it has a more spicy and peppery flavor.
这种葡萄原产于克罗地亚，但这家酒庄位于意大利东部，口味更加辛辣。
So to summarize, the Chianti is more classical and the Zinfandel more exciting.
总之，基安蒂更经典，仙粉黛更令人兴奋。
Both are similarly priced at just under $ 40.
这两家公司的股价都略低于40美元。
M： I will go with Chianti then. Thanks.
我决定买基安蒂红葡萄酒。谢谢。
