　　自学导读

　　1.Do you have any shoes like these? 像这样的鞋你们有吗?

　　这个句子里的 like these是介词短语作定语，修饰 shoes，意思是"像这样的鞋子"。

　　2. What size? 什么尺码的?

　　这是一个省略句，后面省略了 do you want。下文中的 What colour? 同样也是省略句。 what size通常用来询问服装、鞋子、手套等的尺寸，即什么号码：

　　What size do you wear?

　　你穿几码的?

　　3.They are very uncomfortable.的确很不舒适。

　　这个句子中的are用斜体表示强调，应重读。这里的强调表明了售货员对女士所说的话的反感和愤怒。
