Did you see the beautiful sunset tonight?
It was gorgeous.
No, I didn't, but I'm surprised you even noticed such things.
Really, why are you surprised?
You are so focused on your work.
I didn't imagine you had room in your mind for nature.
Really, well I just don't show it.
I make a point of it to note such things as often as I can.
You know, I think you should try to show that side of yourself more often.
It would improve your image.
So you think my image needs some improving?
Well, it wouldn't hurt to be a little less formal, and to smile once in a while.
You might also improve the way you dress, maybe with a few more warm colors.
I'm afraid I don't know much about fashion design and warm colors.
Do you really think the way we dress influences people?
You must be kidding.
The first impression you give is based on your appearance and clothes.
Don't you ever notice the kind of shoes someone is wearing?
No, I hardly notice.
(She couldn't imagine that he had room in his mind to notice things like sunsets.)
Well then, that explains why your shoes are always the same.
How old are the shoes you are wearing now?
These? I don't know, probably a year or so.
And I bet you've been wearing them almost everyday.
They look like it.
That's right.
These shoes are comfortable and they weren't expensive.
I'll bet yours were expensive.
Well, they weren't cheap.
I think it's important to dress right, to dress for the occasion and make a good impression.场合
(To bet on something means to be fairly confident about it, to bet money on it's true.)
OK, why don't we go shopping together this weekend?
You can be my fashion adviser.
What's in it for me?
If I like your advice, I'll buy you another pair of shoes.
How is that?
OK, but they won't be cheap.
You understand that, right?
Of course but it will be worth it if you think my new look will improve my image.
I'll guarantee it.
With me as an adviser you can't go wrong.
