  1. A

    Добрый день, мне нужен костюм на собеседование. Что-нибудь узкое, модное, как у блогеров.

    Good afternoon, I need a suit for a job interview. Something slim and trendy, like the bloggers wear.

  2. B

    Можно и модное. Примерьте вот этот, а я пока рубашку подберу.

    Trendy we can do. Try this one on, and I'll pick out a shirt in the meantime.

  3. A

    Ну как? По-моему, сидит отлично, только руки почему-то не поднимаются.

    Well? I think it fits perfectly, only for some reason I can't lift my arms.

  4. B

    Как бы вам сказать... узковат. Повернитесь-ка и не застёгивайте пиджак, а то пуговица отлетит.

    How shall I put it... it's a bit tight. Turn around, and don't button the jacket, or the button will fly off.

  5. A

    Жалко... А что бы вы посоветовали? Мне главное, чтобы меня взяли на работу.

    Pity... So what would you advise? The main thing for me is that they give me the job.

  6. B

    Я бы посоветовал классику: тёмно-синий, на размер больше. И давайте я научу вас завязывать галстук.

    I'd suggest a classic: dark blue, one size up. And let me teach you how to tie a tie.

  7. A

    Широкий конец вокруг узкого, наверх и в петлю... Получилось! Беру всё, спасибо за урок.

    The wide end around the narrow one, up and through the loop... Done it! I'll take the lot, thanks for the lesson.
