You have just bought a house and will not be able to take possession until the end of the month. This gives you some time to look for furniture you will need for the various rooms. You go to a large furniture store to see what they have on display.
A: May I help you, sir?
B: I'm just looking for ideas to furnish our new home.
A: We have 20% off on our new shipment of leather sofas and matching chairs this month.
B: I'd love to have a look.
A: Come this way, please.
B: I like this three-seater sofa!
A: It's real water buffalo leather and it comes with two matching arm-chairs. Sit down and try it!
B: What will the cost be including delivery and tax?
A: The total amount will be $3,560.
B: Do you have a catalogue or flyer featuring this sofa? I want to show it to my wife.
A: Yes, here's one. You will find it has a good selection of other furniture, such as bedroom suites, kitchen sets, dining-room suites and other household furnishings.
B: Thanks. We'll let you know what we decide.
A: Our sale only lasts until the end of this month. It would be a shame to miss out on it!

乙：你們有沒有目錄或廣告傳單印有這張沙發呢？我想給我太太看看。
