Bob the Canadian: 我今天带大家参观一个位于加拿大安大略省的购物中心,它是一个典型的“strip mall”,所有商店都排成一列,门朝向停车场。我会带大家走过每一家商店,并讲解它们的英文名称和用途,帮助大家学习一些新的英语单词和短语。这次讲解会比较特别,我会边走边说,就像一次真实的购物中心之旅。首先,我们看到的是一家五金店(hardware store),你可以在这里买到各种工具和五金材料,比如锤子、螺丝钉、螺母和螺栓等等。现在天气变暖和了,他们还卖一些盆栽植物和户外座椅。接下来是Foodland,这是一家杂货店(grocery store)或者超市(supermarket),你可以在这里买到各种食品杂货,例如胡萝卜、汤、面包、鸡蛋和牛奶等等。在五金店附近,你可以看到很多袋装的泥土(topsoil)和肥料(manure),人们可以在温暖的季节用来种植花草。然后我们看到一家Tim Hortons,这是一家咖啡馆(cafe)或者餐厅(restaurant),你可以在这里买到咖啡、甜甜圈等。接下来是一家宠物店(pet store),你可以在这里买到宠物食品、宠物玩具等。然后是一家药店(pharmacy),你可以在这里买到各种药品,包括处方药和非处方药。我们还经过了一家舞蹈工作室(dance studio),提供舞蹈课程。接下来是一家洗衣店(laundromat),你也可以在这里买到水。然后是一家一元店(dollar store),虽然现在空置了,但它曾经出售各种价格低廉的商品。现在它重新开张了,规模缩小了一半,但仍然出售各种商品,例如工艺品、手机配件、电子产品、厨房用品等等。然后我们看到一家邮局(post office),你可以在这里寄信或者取信。接下来是一家保险公司(insurance company),提供汽车保险和房屋保险等服务。然后是一家听力诊所(hearing clinic),提供听力检查和助听器服务。接下来是一家美发沙龙(hair salon),提供美发、美甲、面部护理等服务。然后是一家就业援助中心(employment help center),帮助求职者寻找工作。接下来是一家酒吧(bar)兼餐厅,提供餐饮和酒水服务。然后是一家脊椎按摩诊所(chiropractic office),提供脊椎按摩服务。接下来是一家牙医诊所(dentist's office),提供牙齿护理服务。然后是一家瑜伽和健身工作室(yoga and fitness studio),提供瑜伽和健身课程。接下来是一家巨虎百货(Giant Tiger),这是一家大型百货商店,出售各种商品,包括食品、服装、家居用品等等。然后又看到一家美甲沙龙(nail salon)。最后,我们看到一家比萨店(pizzeria)和一家三明治店(sub shop),以及一个加油站(gas station)。最后,我还想说,这里还有一家空置的商店(vacant store),正在出租。
