Ruth: Oh its quite an interesting story. I went to a hairdresser just down the road. I saw a sign outside and it said that they were offering cheap haircuts so I went in there.

魯斯：哦，這是一個非常有意思的故事。我去了街邊的一家理髮店。我看到外面有個牌子寫着他們剪髮很便宜，於是我就去了。

Akane: Oh right, ok. So are you pleased with your new haircut?

茜：好。那你對你的新發型滿意嗎？

Ruth: Erm, yeah, I am pleased. Im pleased that its shorter and its better than it would have been if I had done it myself and Im also pleased that it was cheap, but its not exactly what I was looking for.

魯斯：嗯，我很滿意。我滿意的是頭髮剪短了，而且比我自己剪的要好，同樣我對價錢便宜這點也很滿意，不過這並不是我想要的髮型。

Akane: Oh, so, would you go there again?

茜：哦，那你還會再去那裏剪髮嗎？

Ruth: Erm, probably not!

魯斯：嗯，可能不會了！

Akane: Oh no, dirty!

茜：不是吧，很髒嗎？

Ruth: Well it was kind of a bit greasy and everybody in there…well, it was full of old men and I was the only girl in there.

魯斯：嗯，那裏油膩膩的，而且去那裏的都是老爺爺，只有我一個女孩。

Akane: Oh, ok.

茜：這樣啊。

Ruth: And the haircut took probably 7 minutes.

魯斯：整個剪髮過程用了7分鐘。

Akane: Wow, thats really fast!

茜：哇！那簡直太快了！

Ruth: Yeah, exactly and they didnt wash my hair or anything, so…

魯斯：沒錯，而且他們沒有給我洗頭，所以……

Akane: Oh no!

茜：哦不！

Ruth: But it was cheap and you know I like bargains so it wasnt too bad.

魯斯：不過很便宜，你知道我喜歡便宜的東西，所以還不算太壞。

Akane: So there were a lot of old men there and no women?

茜：有很多老爺爺去那裏，但是沒有老奶奶嗎？

Ruth: Thats right.

魯斯：沒錯。

Akane: So was it a barber?

茜：那是家男子理髮店嗎？

Ruth: I hope not! I hope I didnt make the mistake of going into a barber but there was a woman in there cutting hair and she cut my hair.

魯斯：我想不是！我希望我沒有誤進男子理髮店，不過那裏有一位女性理髮師，就是她給我剪的頭髮。

Akane: Oh thats a good sign.

茜：哦，那是個好跡象。

Ruth: Yeah that was a good sign.

魯斯：對，那是個好跡象。

Akane: So do you think your haircut will last until you have to go back to England?

茜：你覺得你在回英國之前是不是都不用剪頭髮了？

Ruth: Well Im hoping so. It is quite short; its a lot shorter than it was before so hopefully it will.

魯斯：我希望吧。現在頭髮非常短；比之前短的多，所以我希望不用再剪了。

Akane: Ok, well I really like it.

茜：好，我真的很喜歡。

Ruth: Oh thats really nice of you, thanks! Well, if you get your haircut dont go there!

魯斯：哦，你真是太好了，謝謝！不過如果你想剪頭髮，最好不要去那裏！
