It: "Magari c'è un'alternativa," suggerì Marco, indicando un angolo con un cartello 'SALDI'.
En: "Maybe there's an alternative," suggested Marco, pointing to a corner with a sign 'SALES'.

It: "Vediamo lì prima di decidere."

It: Dopo numerosi giri, tornarono al vestito.

It: "È sopra il budget," ammise Elena, guardando Marco.

It: "Ma ti rende felice," rispose lui.
En: "But it makes you happy," he replied.

It: "Potresti comprarlo e aggiungere le magliette scontate.
