How’s everything, Joey?

Joey:

Very well. How about you, Hope?

Hope:

Good. Say, Joey, you seem happy. What are you reading ?

Joey:

Oh, nothing much. I am just looking for items to shop for after work today.

You know, it’s Friday again. Here, take a look! It’s the DM from the department store.

Hope:

Oh, it’s not a DM. It’s a catalogue from the department store. No wonder you are so excited.

Joey:

I am. So, we don’t call this a DM. It’s A catalogue. I see. Here you are.

A catalogue from the department store.

Hope:

Hmm...Let me take a look. Wow, this 20-inch suitcase is below a thousand dollars.

Joey:

Yes. Look at this one! This purse is only 1999 dollars and you get an extra handbag as a gift. 

I’ve been waiting for it all week.

Hope:

A purse and a handbag? And they are only 1999?! No wonder everybody says the discounts this year are insane.

Joey:

Insane? 是瘋了嗎?

Hope:

Yes. When you say something is insane, you mean it is out of your expectation and you feel it amazing.

Joey:

I see. The discounts this year are insane. 今年的折扣真的很瘋。

Many products are up to 50% off, like here, cosmetics, and shoes, purses, etc.

Hope:

Now, that catches my attention too! Hey, you know how expensive those designer bags can be on normal days.

Joey:

I know. That’s why I am 鎖定這個品牌下手!

Hope:

Ah~ you are eyeing that serum and skincare products? I like this brand too.

Joey:

What is that? I am eyeing?

Hope:

Oh! Eye, E-Y-E. When you are eyeing something. You look at it with interests.

Joey:

I see.所以當我鎖定這品牌，I can say, “I am eyeing this product?”

Hope:

That’s right.

Joey:

By the way, what is that in English, 美容液and護膚品?

Hope:

They are serum and skincare products.

Joey:

Got it. 美容液is serum and護膚品 is skincare products.

Hope:

How about this brand? They sell good eye cream. I think I need to take care of the wrinkles on my face.

Joey:

Wrinkles? What are wrinkles?

Hope:

Here, look at my forehead and eyes, these lines are never welcome by a woman, and they are wrinkles!

Joey:

Wrinkles. I see. Hmm… Talking about wrinkles.  Perhaps I should also start to take care of them.

Hope:

Come on! You are still young!

Joey:

But 及早預防嘛!

Hope:

Agree.  It’s better to start now than too late.

Joey:

Yes! It’s better to start now than too late. So, that’s why I am always 失心瘋 when it comes to 百貨周年慶!

Hope:

No kidding! Same here. When it comes to Department store anniversary sales, I am out of my mind, too.

Joey:

So, 百貨周年慶 is Department store anniversary sales and失心瘋 is out of my mind.
