Buying a car – Sir, can I show you one of our latest models?
– Maybe. I'm looking for a fast set of wheels, preferably in red with a leather interior.
– Is there a certain make or model that particularly interests you?
– I'm thinking along the lines (in the way) of a BMW convertible. Something to impress the ladies with.
– Well, in that case this is one of our most popular models. It is fully loaded with the latest luxury options and usually makes an impression on the fairer sex.
– Can I take it for a test drive?
– Certainly. But you will have to fill out some paperwork before you can take it out of the lot.
Покупка машины – Сэр, могу я предложить вам одну из наших последних моделей?
– Может быть. Я ищу быструю машину, предпочтительно красного цвета и с кожаной отделкой салона.
– Есть ли какая-то определенная марка или модель, которая вас интересует?
– Я думаю, что-то типа БМВ с открывающимся верхом. Что-то, чем можно произвести впечатление на женщин.
– Ну, в таком случае, вот одна из самых популярных моделей. Она полностью нафарширована самыми последними прибамбасами и обычно производит впечатление на прекрасный пол.
– Могу я попробовать проехаться на ней?
– Конечно. Вам только надо будет заполнить кое-какие бумаги перед тем, как взять ее со стоянки.

Buying cosmetics – I'm thinking of getting a makeover. Do you have any suggestions?
– Our makeup artist will be glad to assist you in this matter. However, if you'd like a more in-depth consultation, our dermatologist is here every Tuesday.
– I'm looking for a product that will hide existing wrinkles and also for a product that will prevent new ones from appearing.
– For wrinkle prevention we offer a basic line of anti-aging creams and lotions. As for concealing lines that have already appeared, apply a light coat of foundation.
– I was also wondering about the perfumes that you offer this season.
– We have an array of perfumes and colognes. Are you interested in a light or a heavy scent?
– I'm looking for something heavier, although not overpowering. A fragrance for evenings on the town.
– These fragrances fit that description. They let your presence be known without being too powerful.
