A: backseat driver 就是喜欢瞎指挥，给别人乱出主意的人。想一想，生活中这样的人还真不少！

B: I know! No one is asking their opinions, but they just pester you with their advice! Like a friend of mine, she likes to be a backseat driver when it comes to fashion. She always tells me what to wear, but her taste is really bad.

A: Really? What style does she like?

B: She likes clothes that are tacky or trashy.

A: 哦，你是说她喜欢俗气，看着档次低的衣服。

B: That's right. I think she should buy clothes that are more classy in style, but again, I'm not a backseat driver. I don't tell her what to wear.

A: 是，每个人的品位不同吗。不过你刚才说她应该穿些经典款的衣服，这让我想到咱们在下面的“美语怎么说”里要教的词，那就是“必备单品”。

KAT在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是吴琼要问的：必备单品。

WQ: Hey KAT! Wow...wait, 我们穿的裤子一样耶！

KAT: OMG! Yeah! We ARE wearing the same thing! Where did you get it?

WQ: 在outlet啊！现在这种紧身裤最流行了！衣橱必备！对了，这种什么都能配，大家都需要的衣服用美语怎么说啊？

KAT: Hmm, we usually say that kind of clothing is a must-have item.

WQ: M-u-s-t, must, 是必须的意思，have, h-a-v-e, 拥有，must-have, 必须拥有，就是必备单品喽！

KAT: Exactly! Must-have items often go with many different styles. For example, skinny jeans are a must-have in today's fashion. 紧身牛仔裤是时尚潮人的必备单品。

WQ: That's why we are both wearing it! 对了，我这条裤子买的特值，买一送一呢！

KAT: What? Buy one get one free? That's such a great bargain!

WQ: Buy one get one free? 我猜这就是买一送一的意思吧？

KAT: That's correct! Sometimes you can buy one and get one 50% off Guess what that means?

WQ: Hmmm, 我想，这就是买一件，第二件打5折，对不对？

KAT: Good job! Besides, many stores are having end of season sales!

WQ: 这个我知道，就是换季大甩卖！Actually, I got these pants from the end of season sale! 我这条裤子就是换季大甩卖的时候买的！

KAT: There you go! I think we should pay a visit to the mall together this weekend, shall we? We can not and must not miss the end of season sale!

WQ: Sounds good!

KAT: It's a date!! Now let's see what you've learned today!

WQ: 第一：必备单品叫做：must-have;

第二，买一送一，可以说: buy one get one free;

第三，换季大甩卖，叫做end of season sale.

B: A little black dress is a must-have for every girl. Do you have one, yanglin?

A: Hmm, 我倒是觉得，什么是 a must-have item? 这还不都是时尚杂志说的？我看也是在忽悠消费者，为什么别人穿我就得穿啊？我非要和大家不一样，难道不行？

B: That's an interesting point! Why should we follow the trend? We should be unique, or better yet, a trend setter!

A: 就是！要是大家都穿某一季的所谓必备单品，那满街都是一样的衣服，多没意思！好了，一提起穿衣打扮咱们就没完了，还是继续听节目吧。

B: Okay! Let's listen to Go English
