　　Helen: Ow, did it hurt? 买衣服的时候把眼睛给拉了一下，疼不疼?

　　Chris: No, no. Its just a way of saying it attracted my attention and it made me want to take a closer look. I eventually bought it for only 10. What do you think?

　　Helen: Well, its OK. But I dont really like the yellow colour with orange sleeves. Its a bit bright!看着有点儿扎眼!

　　Chris: What do you mean?

　　Helen: I have to be honest Chris: bright colours dont really suit you. 很鲜艳的颜色不是特别适合你。

　　Chris: Oh. Well, it might not be to your taste, but Im sure other people will like it.

　　Helen: Jen, what do you think of Chriss outfit today?
