L: Louis F: Florist
Louis is visiting a florist to buy flowers for Mother’s Day.
L: Hello, I’d like to buy some flowers for my mother.
F: That’s wonderful. What kind would you like?
L: Honestly, I’m not sure. I could use a little advice. Should I give her roses?
F: Roses usually express romantic interest. Another flower might be better.
L: I see. What flowers are most popular for Mother’s Day?
F: Well, carnations are the official Mother’s Day flower, but there are plenty of other options.
L: Hmm... it’s hard to decide what to pick.
路易斯去一间花店买母亲节花束。
路易斯: 你好,我想买些花送我妈妈。
花店店员: 那太棒了。您想要什么种类的呢?
路易斯: 老实说,我不确定。我需要一点建议。我该送她玫瑰吗?
花店店员: 玫瑰通常表达恋情。别种花或许会比较好。
路易斯: 我了解了。母亲节最受欢迎的花是什么?
花店店员: 这个嘛,康乃馨是母亲节的官方首选,但还有很多其他的选择。
路易斯: 呃……好难决定要挑什么喔。
