  1. Two students are talking about buying a new pair of sneakers. (D = Darren, F = Fanny) Conversation

  2. D: I’ve decided to buy a pair of Nike sneakers. They look so cool. F: Do you really need to buy such expensive shoes? There are a lot of other sneakers that are cheaper and just as comfortable. D: Well, no, I don’t have to have Nikes. I just like them, that’s all. F: I think you just want to impress other people with the Nike logo.

  3. D: But Nike makes high quality sneakers. You can’t argue with that. F: Of course not. What I mean is, are you just hoping to buy some good quality shoes? Or are you trying to impress people? D: Both, I guess. F: Well, I just need a pair of comfortable sneakers, so it’s not necessary for me to buy Nike shoes to make a good impression.

  4. D: Well, if you need to save money, that’s the best choice. F: Actually, I have enough money to buy Nikes, too. I just don’t want to spend much money trying to look cool. D: For me, looking cool is part of feeling good. F: All right. Go ahead and buy your Nikes then!

  7. ...other sneakers that are cheaper and just as comfortable. • (1) 原句可改寫為...other sneakers that are cheaper and are just as comfortable as Nikes.。 • (2) as + Adj + as表示「與…一樣的…」。 例： ‧You can buy clothes as beautiful as mine.

  8. I just like them, that’s all. • that’s all 「如此而已」，通常放置於解釋完某件事的原因之後。例： ‧A: Why didn't you call me yesterday? B: I was busy. That's all.

  9. ...impress other people with the Nike logo. • (1) 這裡的impress是指「給人深刻的印 象」，以讓別人尊敬或仰慕。例： ‧Amelia’s speech impressed me favorably. • (2) logo指品牌的代表圖案。

  10. You can’t argue with that. • argue with 為「爭論，爭吵」之意，而with 也可以about替換。 What I mean is.... • 意為「我的意思是…」，常用於解釋自己前面所說的話，再次釐清自己想表達的重點。

  11. Both, I guess. • 這裡Darren說both的意思是他既想要有一雙舒適的球鞋，也想要讓別人印象深刻，也就是both hope to buy some good quality sneakers and try to impress people。
