Cindy: Sis, why did you ask me to come to this bargain market? It's so crowded, and you can't find anything that you really want.

Shirley: You just don't get it. Looking for bargains can be really interesting.

Cindy: Are you serious? How can that be?

Shirley: Bargaining is a game, or even a battle. You feel like a winner when you get a good price.

Cindy: Come on. You know, you can never really win. The salesperson never loses. They make their living out of it.

Shirley: That's true. But I just love it. Come here!

Cindy: Oh, this silk carpet is really beautiful. Look at the pattern, and how delicate it is!

Shirley: You do have great taste. That's the most expensive stuff here.

Cindy: Really? Oh, this one. I like the cloisonné vase.

Shirley: Are you kidding me? I bought a same one last week. It's surprising that there is something we both like. Well, what do you think of these ceramic cups?

Cindy: Come on. They look so cheap. Something else, please.

Shirley: What about this picture? I think Benjamin would like it.

Cindy: Don't underestimate his taste. I don't think he'd like it.

Shirley: Don't be so sure. He loves the vase I bought here last week.

Cindy: Yeah. Well, anyway, it's up to you. But I can tell that you come here often.

Shirley: Absolutely. That's why I can always get a good price.

聽看學(xué)

辛迪: 姐姐，你為什么帶我來這個(gè)廉價(jià)市場(chǎng)啊?這里這么擁擠，而且你也買不到什么你真正想要的東西。

雪莉: 你就是不明白。淘便宜的東西會(huì)非常有趣啊。

辛迪: 你說真的嗎?不會(huì)吧?

雪莉: 討價(jià)還價(jià)是一種游戲，甚至是一場(chǎng)“爭(zhēng)戰(zhàn)”。當(dāng)你得到一個(gè)好的價(jià)格的時(shí)候，你會(huì)感覺像一個(gè)贏家。

辛迪: 拜托。你知道，你永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)真正勝利的。賣家是永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)輸?shù)?。他們靠它生活啊?/p>

雪莉: 那是沒錯(cuò)。可我就是喜歡啊。過來這邊!

辛迪: 哦，這塊絲織地毯真漂亮?？此幕ㄉ?，做得多么細(xì)致啊!

雪莉: 你的眼光真不錯(cuò)。這是這里最貴的東西。

辛迪: 真的嗎?噯，這個(gè)。我喜歡這個(gè)陶瓷花瓶。

雪莉: 你沒和我開玩笑吧?我上周買了個(gè)一模一樣的。真是驚奇啊，這里竟然有我們倆都喜歡的東西。這兒，你看這幾個(gè)陶瓷茶杯怎么樣?

辛迪: 拜托。它們看起來就很廉價(jià)。請(qǐng)?zhí)酎c(diǎn)別的吧。

雪莉: 那這幅畫呢?我覺得本杰明會(huì)喜歡它的。

辛迪: 別低估了他的品味。我覺得他不會(huì)喜歡它的。

雪莉: 別這么肯定。我上周買的一個(gè)花瓶他就很喜歡。

辛迪: 好吧。不論怎樣，這是你的事啦。但是我敢說你真的是經(jīng)常來這里。

雪莉: 當(dāng)然了。這是為什么我總能得到一個(gè)優(yōu)惠的價(jià)格啊。

Cindy: I went to the bargain market with Shirley today. It was very crowded and most of the stuff looked just too cheap. But Shirley just enjoyed the bargain process. It was really surprising when we found something we both liked. But still, when she tried to buy a picture for Benjamin, I felt that we did have quite different tastes on shopping.
