天气可真好!阳光、春风都暖融融的,终于可以脱掉一身厚重的棉袄、换上春装、拥抱春日的温暖了! 不过当小译打开衣柜—— 一到换季,大家的钱包怕是捂不住了,但如果能掌握一点砍价的小技巧,那还是能给自己一些安慰哒! 小译记得之前看过一个视频,说的是一个外国人在北京秀水街买鞋,与一位有着强大气场的卖鞋大妈之间的正面交锋。 只看这位大妈手里拿着计算器、嘴上用着流利的业务型中式英语、步步紧逼: “I give you best price!” “how much you tell me!” “you don’t buy you ask me!” …… 从心理上和言语上对对方进行双重压制,让人根本无(bu)法(gan)拒绝。这么看来,砍价还真是一场斗智斗勇的心理战呐。 在国内购物,我们或许还能利用自己擅长的语言优势,与卖家“杀”几个来回,而到了国外,我们又能如何利落优雅的与外国人讨价还价一番呢?一起来学习吧~ Bargain 砍价 砍价时会遇到的常用单词 bargain [ˈbɑ:gən] 讨价还价、商讨条件 haggle [ˈhægl] 讲价 price [praɪs] 价格 overprice ['əʊvə'praɪs] / overcharge [ˌəʊvəˈtʃɑ:dʒ] 要价过高 discount [ˈdɪskaʊnt] 折扣 afford [əˈfɔ:d] 支付 worth [wɜ:θ] 值得 on sale 特价、打折 clearance sale 清仓 cheap [tʃi:p] 便宜 expensive [ɪkˈspensɪv] 昂贵 budget [ˈbʌdʒɪt] 预算 split the difference 折中成交、各让一步 rip off 诓、骗 bulk purchases 大量地购买 bargain store 专门卖廉价物品的商店 bargain counter 店里卖廉价商品的柜台 砍价时的常用口语表达 1. 买东西最担心被宰,行家都要先造出声势,用这句话镇住卖家: Hey, don't try to rip me off. I know what this is worth. 别想宰我,我识货。 Don’t you even try to fool me! I’m not a country cousin. 你别想忽悠我,我可不是乡巴佬。 2、想让卖家给你打折,可以试试以下说法: Can you give me this for cheaper? 能便宜点卖给我吗? Could you give me a discount? 能给我个折扣吗? Give me a discount! 给我打个折吧! Is there any discount on bulk purchases? 我多买些能打折吗? Are these clothes on sale? 这些衣服打特价吗? 3、当你看中了某件商品,希望能和卖家商量个好价格,可以试着这么说: Is the price negotiable? 这价钱可以商量吗? How about buy one and get one free? 买一送一怎么样? Could you give me a better deal? 可以给我更好的价钱吗? I'd buy it right away if it were cheaper. 便宜一点的话我马上买。 The price is beyond my budget. 这价钱超出我的预算了。 I'll give 500 dollars for it. 五百块我就买。 4、如果觉得卖家出的价格太高了,可以直接表达出来: That's steep, isn't it? 这价钱太离谱了吧? It's too expensive. I can't afford it. 太贵了。我买不起。 You are pricing yourself out of the market! 你这是在漫天要价! That’s unreasonable! I’ll take it for 100. 太贵了!一百块我就买。 I like everything about it except the price. 各方面我都很喜欢,除了价格。 Lower the price and I’ll consider. 便宜点我就考虑。 情景小剧场 Dialogue A A: How much is this shirt? 这件衬衣多少钱?
