一郎 | なんだか今日はゴミゴミしてるね。
お母さんへのプレゼント、何がいいかな。(*1) (It's crowded today. What should we buy for your mother?) | |
| そういえばお母さん、財布を買い替えたいって言ってたのよね。
ずっと古いがまぐちを使ってるのよ。 (Ah, by the way, my mom said she wants to buy a new wallet. She has been using the old type of coin purse with a metal snap frame.) | さくら |
一郎 | 財布かぁ、いいね!どんな財布がいいかな。
とりあえず売り場に行って店員さんに相談してみようか。 (That's good! What kind of wallet should we buy? Anyway shall we go to the sales floor and ask the shop staff?) | |
| そうね。(売り場に向かう) (Yeah. (off to the sales floor)) | さくら |

woman | いらっしゃいませ。
今日は何かおさがしですか? (May I help you? What are you looking for today?) | |
| 母の誕生日に財布をプレゼントしようと思っているんですが、茶系で人気のあるものはありますか? (I am planning to give my mother a wallet for her birthday, but are there any popular brownish ones?) | さくら |
