原版英语对话1000个:1075 Retail Therapy

Diego: So, Silvia, I hear you have thirty handbags and thirty-five pairs of shoes.
Silvia: Yeah, I know. Actually, it\'s a little bit of a sad story if I tell you why I have a lot of bags and shoes.
Diego: It\'s OK, we have time.
Silvia: Actually, I love to shop. I don\'t know what girl doesn\'t love to shop, and I love shopping and so basically how I ended up with all these shoes is because I broke up and I was sad and it was like therapy for me to go shopping.
Diego: So it was retail therapy.
Silvia: Exactly. So yeah, I just went crazy shopping. For me I don\'t know, I just feel good shopping, and the other thing is I like to travel a lot, and when I\'m traveling then I also buy a lot of stuff. Like the handbags I have, some are traditional looking bags from Vietnam or Cambodia, Thailand.
Diego: Different countries.
Silvia: And it\'s so cheap. That\'s the thing. Sometimes I go somewhere and I see everything so cheap that I go crazy shopping.
Diego: Wow! But do you really need thirty handbags?
Silvia: I\'m a girl. Of course I need thirty handbags.
Diego: Do you really need thirty five pairs of shoes?
Silvia: Mmm?
Diego: No. That\'s quite interesting. Have you ever worn everything?
Silvia: No.
Diego: You haven\'t. OK.
Silvia: No, not yet. And actually last week, I went through ... I was walking and I saw this store had a sale and I went in and as an excuse, it was by birthday last week, so I thought, well, I\'m far away from home, and no one gives me any gifts so maybe I should give myself some gifts and I almost used my credit parents credit card, and I thought oh, I will just call them and tell them like hey, happy birthday, but in the end, I ended up paying for the stuff.
Diego: OK, that\'s good, so you\'re a responsible shopoholic.
Silvia: I\'m trying to control it. Actually, before last week, I spend a few months not buying anything, but I couldn\'t resist the sale.
Diego: But you do know that the sale sign is just cheap marketing, right?
Silvia: No, my God, it was a really good sale.
Diego: No, I think you\'re just ...
Silvia: No, it was a good sale.
Diego: ... a victim of good marketing.
Silvia: Maybe but still. I\'m happy with what I bought so.
Diego: OK, so as long as you\'re happy, that\'s good.
