A: It seems the temperature won't be going down again, looks like it's time to box up my thick clothes.  

我看现在的气温也不会再降回去了,是时候把厚衣服收到箱子里了。

(wǒkàn xiànzài de qìwēn yě búhuì zài jiànɡ huíqù le, shì shíhòu bǎ hòu yīfú shōudào xiānɡzǐlǐ le.) 

B: I started putting mine away yesterday, but most of them need to be washed first.                        

我昨天就开始整理了,但是大部分衣服都需要洗一下再收起来。

(wǒ zuótiān jiù kāishǐ zhěnɡlǐ le, dànshì dàbùfēn yīfú dōu xūyào xǐ yīxià zài shōuqǐlái.) 

A: I know what you mean. I didn't wash my down jacket the entire winter.                   

说的没错,我的羽绒服整个冬天都没有清洗。

(shuō de méicuò, wǒ de yǔrónɡfú zhěnɡɡè dōnɡtiān dōu méiyǒu qīnɡxǐ.)  

B: I recommend you send them to the dry cleaners, some cloths can't be washed with water. Although dry cleaning is more expensive.                 

我推荐你送到干洗店里,有些衣服的材质不能用水洗,但是干洗要贵一些。

(wǒ tuījiàn nǐ sònɡdào ɡānxǐdiàn lǐ, yǒuxiē yīfú de cáizhì bùnénɡ yònɡ shuǐxǐ, dànshì ɡānxǐ yào ɡuì yīxiē.)

A: That's OK, I just got paid today.                  

没关系,我今天刚发了工资。
