眼镜是现代社会中,很多人必不可少的生活用品之一,没有了眼镜的世界仿佛加了滤镜一般,虽然具有一种难得的朦胧美,但事实上也会让我们的生活产生诸多不便。但是眼镜的款式也是非常丰富多样的,那么,你最喜欢的是哪一种眼镜呢? Nowadays, lots of people need glasses or contact lenses[1]. This story gives you some vocabulary, plus ways to compliment someone (they suit you) and typical questions to ask (are you nearsighted or are you farsighted?).[2] By the way, English is strange. If you’re nearsighted, like many younger people, you can see to read but not far away. If you’re farsighted, you need reading glasses! If you have 2.0/2.0 vision[3], it’s perfect. How about you? Do you prefer glasses or contacts? Or, do you want laser eye surgery[4]? A: Hey, nice glasses! Are they new? B: Yes, I just got them last week. A: Nice! I like the frames[5]. They really suit you. B: Thanks. They’re very light. I really like wearing them. A: Where did you get them? B: I went to Charlie’s Opticians[6]. They have a good selection of designer frames and they’re cheap. A: The lenses are a little dark. Are they tinted[7]? B: They have a coating[8] that get dark in the sun and gets light indoors. That way, I don’t need shades[9]. My eyes are sensitive to light. |
