语言点
（点击阅读英文解释）
Can I help you?或 “May I help you?”（我能帮你吗？需要什么吗？）是售货员招呼顾客时常用的话。
I’m looking for a （我在找……）在这里的意思是“I don’t know exactly which one I want.”（我不知道具体要买哪一件。）
Size medium. （中号）。衣服通常分小号、中号和大号。有些女装的大小用数码标记，通常是从最小的2号至最大的16号。
Let’s see … （让我想想/让我看看……。）这是在某人想要对某事考虑一番、或者在做选择决定之前、以及在寻找某样东西时所用的表达方式。
I’d rather have it in （我更希望要……颜色）。 这里的意思是“I don’t like this exact one. I would prefer it in a different” color/size/material, etc. （我不喜欢这个。我想要另一个颜色/尺寸/面料的，等等。）
Would you like to …?（你想要……吗？）是“Do you want to …?”的更礼貌客气的表达方式。
Try it on （试穿一下。）意思是把服装穿上，试试大小或式样是否合适。“Try on”是一个可拆开的动词短语，所以宾语“it” 放在 “try” 和“on”之间。
How much is it? （这价格是多少？） 意思是“How much does it cost?”（这要多少钱？）。请注意此问句的重音落在“is”上。
I’ll take it意思是“I will buy it.”（我买它。）

Language notes
Can I help you? or “May I help you?” is what a salesperson normally says to greet a customer.
I’m looking for a here means “I don’t know exactly which one I want.”
Size medium. Clothing usually comes in small, medium and large sizes. Some women’s clothing comes in number sizes, usually ranging from 2 to 16.
Let’s see… An expression used when a person wants to think something over to make a choice or decision, or to look for something.
I’d rather have it in here means “I don’t like this exact one. I would prefer it in a different color/size/material,” etc.
Would you like to…? is a polite way to ask “Do you want to…?”
Try it on means to test the fit or appearance of a garment by putting it on. “Try on” is a separable phrasal verb, so the object “it” goes between “try” and “on.”
How much is it? means “How much does it cost?” Notice that the main sentence stress falls on “is” in this question.
I’ll take it means “I will buy it.”
