課文詳注 Further notes on the text

1．Do you have any shoes like these? 像這樣的鞋你們有嗎？

這個句子里的 like these是介詞短語作定語，修飾 shoes，意思是“像這樣的鞋子”。

2． What size? 什么尺碼的？

這是一個省略句，后面省略了 do you want。下文中的 What colour? 同樣也是省略句。 what size通常用來詢問服裝、鞋子、手套等的'尺寸，即什么號碼：

What size do you wear?

你穿幾碼的？

3．They are very uncomfortable.的確很不舒適。

這個句子中的are用斜體表示強調，應重讀。這里的強調表明了售貨員對女士所說的話的反感和憤怒。
