每日口语| 原来购物还有这么多说法!
每日口语| 原来购物还有这么多说法!

应微信网友“蛋蛋想插腰”的要求,讲讲购物相关的英语。

Go shopping就是购物,购物狂是shopaholic, 俗话说shop till I drop 购物到死,购物中心是shopping centre或shopping mall, 连在一起,Betty is such a shopaholic, shopping mall is the only place where you can find her , she shops till she drops! Betty 是个购物到死的购物狂,整天泡在商场;
打折是on sale, 打几折就是(10-x)x10 % discount/off, 比如,7折就是30% discount /off, 8折就20% discount/off;
会员是member, 会员卡是membership card.
比如,
A:Are these books on sale?
这些书打折吗?
B:There's a 20% discount for members only.
只对会员打八折。
A:How can I get the membership ?
我怎样才能成为会员呢?
B:That's very easy. Just fill in this application form.
非常容易。填张申请表就行了。
断货是out of stock, 脱销是out of sale:
A: Do you have the Oxford English Dictionary? 请问你们这儿有《牛津英语词典》吗?B:It's out of stock. 没有货了。A:What a pity! 太遗憾了!
B:It will be available next week.
下周会有货的。
A:I will come next week. 那我下周再来

其实去国外买东西特别简单,这需要说how much? 想打折就说cheaper,至少说4遍, would you like to pay by cash or credit card? 是外国服务员常问的支付方式,没有在中国支付方便,毕竟国外没有wechat pay 和Alipay.
