Lesson 41 Do you call that a hat? 你把那个叫帽子吗？
'Do you call that a hat ?' I said to my wife. 'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror. I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.
' We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once.
'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered.' I need not remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.'
' I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.'
'And a woman can't have too many hats,' she answered.
Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse !
While I was looking at myself in the mirror, my husband said to me that he thought what I tried on wasn't like a hat. He sat on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited impatiently. But we stayed in this hat shop for just half an hour. He suddenly remarked that we mustn't buy things we didn't need. I was annoyed and replied to him that he just bought a terrible tie yesterday. To my angeriness, he said he found it beautiful and a man couldn't have too much ties. Well, I thought a lady could never have too much hats.
Last weekend, I was on duty when a couple came in to buy a hat. The woman tried on the hats 'one by one another'[=> one after another] and she found that 'every hat was'[=> hat were all] beautiful and 'the all'[=> ] suited herself. But her husband seemed impatient as he sat on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. The woman had been in front of the mirror for half an hour but she had not decide[=> decided] which to buy. While she was trying on a new hat like a lighthouse, her husband remarked rudely that the hat wasn't like a hat. He was trying to prevent his wife from buying the hat so he added that they mustn't buy anything they didn't need. But the woman reminded him of a terrible tie he bought the previous day. Then the man said he found his new tie beautiful and he could never have too many ties. And his wife answered that she couldn't have too many hats as well. The man had no word to reply. Ten minutes later, the woman paid the bill and walked out of the shop wearing the hat like a lighthouse with his husband.
