Getting Prescription Glasses · 配处方眼镜

intermediate
You

Hi, I broke my glasses during my trip and I need a new pair urgently. I have my prescription from China — will you accept it?

你好,我旅行中眼镜摔坏了,急需配一副新的。我有中国的处方——你们接受吗?

Oh no, sorry to hear that! Let me take a look at your prescription. Hmm, the format is a little different from what we use here, but I can read the numbers. Your right eye is -3.50 and left is -4.00 with some astigmatism. Does that sound right?

哎呀,太不巧了!让我看看您的处方。嗯,格式和我们这边用的有点不同,但我能看懂数字。您的右眼 -3.50,左眼 -4.00,还有一些散光。对吗?

You

Yes, that's correct. How long will it take to make a new pair? I'm leaving the country in four days.

对,没错。配一副新的要多久?我四天后就出国了。

Our standard turnaround is 7 to 10 days, but we offer an express service — same-day or next-day for an extra $50. Since your prescription isn't too strong, we should be able to do it. Let's pick out some frames first.

我们标准周期是7到10天,但有加急服务——当天或次日取,加收50美元。您的度数不算太深,应该可以做。先来选镜框吧。

You

Next-day would be perfect. I like lightweight frames — something like titanium. What do you have?

次日取最好。我喜欢轻的镜框——像钛金属的。你们有什么?

Great taste! Here are our titanium options. This Ray-Ban is very popular — it's feather-light and flexible. And this Oakley one is more sporty. Prices range from $180 to $350 for the frames alone. Lenses are separate.

好眼光!这些是我们的钛金属款。这款 Ray-Ban 很受欢迎——超轻又有弹性。这款 Oakley 偏运动风格。镜框价格从180到350美元不等,镜片另算。

You

I like the Ray-Ban. What lens options do I have?

我喜欢 Ray-Ban 的。镜片有什么选项?

We have standard lenses, thin lenses — which I'd recommend at your prescription strength to keep them from looking thick — and ultra-thin. You can add anti-reflective coating, blue-light blocking, or photochromic which darkens in sunlight. Here's the price list.

我们有标准镜片、薄镜片——以您的度数我建议用薄的,不然会显得很厚——还有超薄的。可以加防反光涂层、防蓝光或变色镜片,在阳光下会变暗。这是价格表。

You

I'll take the thin lenses with anti-reflective coating. How much is the total with the express service?

我要薄镜片加防反光涂层。加上加急服务一共多少?

The Ray-Ban frames are $220, thin lenses with AR coating are $180, plus $50 for express service. Your total is $450. If you're a tourist, I can do the tax-free paperwork for you — that'll save you about $35.

Ray-Ban 镜框220美元,薄镜片加防反光涂层180美元,加急服务50美元。一共450美元。如果您是游客的话,我可以帮您办退税手续——能省大约35美元。

💡 部分国家和美国部分州对游客购物有退税政策。通常需要出示护照和离境机票。

You

Yes, I'm a tourist! I have my passport. Thank you — that's very helpful. When can I pick them up tomorrow?

我是游客!护照带着呢。太好了,太贴心了。明天什么时候能取?

They should be ready by 2 PM tomorrow. We'll send you a text when they're done. When you pick them up, we'll do a fitting to adjust the frames to your face — that's included in the service.

明天下午2点应该能好。做好了会发短信通知您。来取的时候我们会做镜框调整让它贴合您的脸型——这个是包含在服务里的。

Buying Sunglasses · 选购太阳镜

basic
You

I'm looking for a good pair of sunglasses for driving. I heard polarized ones are better — is that true?

我想找一副开车用的太阳镜。听说偏光的更好——是真的吗?

Absolutely. Polarized lenses reduce glare from the road and other cars, which is especially helpful for driving. They also improve contrast so you can see more clearly. The difference is night and day.

没错。偏光镜片能减少路面和其他车辆的反光,开车特别有用。还能增强对比度,看得更清楚。区别非常明显。

You

Okay, I want polarized. What about UV protection? My wife said to make sure they block UV rays.

好,我要偏光的。紫外线防护呢?我太太说一定要能挡 UV。

All our sunglasses provide 100% UV400 protection — that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. That's actually the minimum you should look for. Anything without a UV rating is basically just a tinted lens and can actually be worse for your eyes.

我们所有太阳镜都提供100% UV400防护——能阻挡 UVA 和 UVB 射线。这其实是最低标准。没有UV等级的基本就是有色镜片,反而可能对眼睛更不好。

You

Good to know. Can I try on a few different styles? I'm not sure what looks good on my face shape.

涨知识了。能试戴几种不同款式吗?我不知道什么款式适合我的脸型。

Of course! You have a round face shape, so I'd suggest angular or rectangular frames — they add some definition. Avoid round frames as they'll emphasize the roundness. Let me grab a few options for you.

当然可以!您是圆脸型,我建议有棱角的或长方形镜框——能增加轮廓感。避免圆框,会显得更圆。我给您拿几款试试。

You

I really like this pair. How much are they?

我很喜欢这副。多少钱?

Those are Maui Jim — one of the best brands for polarized driving sunglasses. They're $279. A bit of an investment, but they come with a 2-year warranty and a hard case. They also have a scratch-resistant coating.

这是 Maui Jim——偏光驾驶太阳镜最好的品牌之一。279美元。有点小投资,但带两年保修和硬质眼镜盒。还有防刮涂层。

You

That's a bit over my budget. Do you have anything similar but more affordable? Maybe around $150?

有点超预算了。有类似但更便宜的吗?150美元左右的?

Sure. These Oakley Holbrooks are $153 — also polarized with UV400. Very popular style. They're more of a casual look but still great for driving. Or these Ray-Ban Wayfarers at $163 if you want something more classic.

有的。这款 Oakley Holbrook 153美元——也是偏光加UV400。很受欢迎的款式。更休闲一些但开车也很好用。或者 Ray-Ban Wayfarer 163美元,更经典的风格。

You

The Ray-Ban Wayfarers are perfect. I'll take them. Can I get a cleaning cloth too?

Ray-Ban Wayfarer 正好。我要了。能给一块擦镜布吗?

They come with a cleaning cloth and a soft pouch. I'll also include a microfiber cleaning spray on the house — just spray and wipe. Enjoy your new shades!

附带一块擦镜布和一个软袋。我再送你一瓶超细纤维清洁喷雾——喷一下擦就行。享受你的新太阳镜吧!
