How Much Is It?

It was¹ winter, and Mrs. Hermann wanted to do a lot of shopping, so she waited until² it was Saturday, when her husband³ was free⁴, and she took⁵ him to the shops with her to pay⁶ for everything and to carry her parcels⁷. They went to a lot of shops, and Mrs. Hermann bought a lot of things. She often stopped and said⁸, Look, Joe! Isn't that beautiful!

He then answered, All right, dear, How much is it? and took his money out to pay for it.

It was dark⁹ when they came¹⁰ out of the last shop, and Mr. Hermann was tired and thinking¹¹ about other things, like a nice drink by the side¹² of a warm fire at home. Suddenly¹³ his wife¹⁴ looked up at the sky and said, Look at that beautiful moon, Joe!

Without stopping, Mr. Hermann answered, All right, dear, How much is it?

多少钱？

严冬来临，荷曼太太想采购一大批东西，所以她就一直等到周六丈夫有空的时候，她拖着他去商店付钱连带拎包裹。他们去了许多商店，荷曼太太买了一大堆东西。她经常停下脚步说道：“看，乔伊!那个多漂亮!”

他总是回答：“好吧!亲爱的，多少钱？”然后掏钱去付款。

他们从最后一家商店出来的时候夜幕已经降临，荷曼先生已精疲力尽了。他心里想着其它事情，比如在家里暖暖的火炉边呷口美酒。突然他太太仰望天空，说道：“看那月亮多美，乔伊!”

荷曼先生不加思索答道：“好吧，亲爱的，多少钱？”
