an unwanted house guest不受欢迎的房客
About a month ago, my friend Richard called me and asked if he could come stay with me for a couple of weeks.
大约一个月前,我的朋友理查德打电话给我,问是否能跟我一起住上几周。

通常我不喜欢与人合住,不过理查德是我的好友。
He’s an artist and he was thinking about moving to L.A.

慢速生活英语口语广播20:看牙 第二篇
going to the dentist看牙
I went to the dentist to get a check-up and cleaning. I showed up at the dentist's office a few minutes before 10. I gave the receptionist my name and told her that I had a 10 a.m. appointment. She said that the doctor was running a little late and that I should take a seat. After about 15 minutes, a dental assistant came out and told me to follow her. She led me to a room and told me to take a seat in the exam chair, and then she put a dental bib on me.
The dentist came into the room.
我去牙医那里去做个检查并洗洗牙。我是十点前几分钟到的牙医诊所。我告诉接待人员我的姓名并告之与医生约的是十点。她说医生有点晚了,让我先坐一下。约15分钟后,牙医的助理出来让我跟着她。她领我进屋并让我坐在检查椅上,还给我套上一个牙医的围嘴。牙医也走了进来。
Dialog

Dentist: Hello, how are you today. Here for your six month check-up?
女:嘿,今天还好吧,是来做半年的检查吗
Gary: I'm fine, Dr. Meecham. Yes, just a cleaning and check-up today.
男:我挺好,医生,我是来做个检查,并洗洗牙。
Dentist: Oh, fine. Let's take a look.
女:好,让我写看一下
She probed my teeth and checked my gums.
她检查着我的牙齿还有牙银。
Dentist: Well, it looks like you have a cavity and your crown is loose. We need to fill that cavity before it gets any worse and the crown needs to be refitted. Make an appointment for next week and I'll take care of them.
女:看来你的牙有一个洞,而且牙冠也有点松。我们要将洞补上防止恶化,牙冠也需要加固一下。你约一个下周的号,到时我会来处理。
Gary: Okay, I'll do that, but my crown was just put on last year. Will my dental insurance cover the work?
男:好,我这就去。不过我的牙冠是去年才安上的。我不知道这部分我的保险是否承担
Dentist: Since you had that done here, we'll take care of it. There won't be a charge. And, your insurance should cover the work on the cavity. Now, I'm going to have the hygienist do your cleaning and I'll see you soon for the other work.
女:既然牙冠是我们这里做的,这个我们来负责,不需要你承担费用。不过补洞的部分需要你的保险来承担。现在我让清洗师给你做清洗,其它工作以后我来做。
Gary: Thanks, doctor.
男:谢谢医生
The hygenist came into the room and had me rinse with mouthwash. She began her cleaning and finished by polishing my teeth. On my way out, I tried to make an appointment for the following week. Unfortunately, there were no appointments available for two weeks, and the time they had was an inconvenient one, but I said I'd manage. I have to say, going to the dentist can be a pain, in the mouth and in the butt.
清洗师走进屋,帮我做清洗。她先洗,然后给我的牙齿抛光。走之前,我尝试约下周的门诊,不幸的是近两周都没有号了。而能约上的时间对我又有点不方便,不过我说我来调整我的时间吧。不得不承认,去看牙医是一件又痛又不方便的事。

慢速生活英语口语广播24:创业者 第四篇
being an entrepreneur创业者
I had lunch today with my friend Sam. She recently quit her job with a large company to strike out on her own. She has always been an entrepreneur in all ways, but she decided to start her own business. The start-up she launched provided technology consulting services for all- to medium-sized companies.
我与我的朋友萨姆今天一起吃的午饭。她最近从一个大公司辞职开始做自己的生意。她以前也做过几次小生意,不过这回她决心开创自己的事业。她的创业企业是为中小企业提供技术咨询的服务。
At first, she considered becoming partners with one or two of her co-workers. She wasn't sure if she could raise the seed money she needed for the start-up costs. But, she was able to raise the capital by taking on a silent partner, her uncle who had a lot of investment capital but didn't want to be involved in the day-to-day operations of a business now that he's retired.
开始,她想与她的一两个同事合伙。她不知道是否能融到开企业所需要的种子资金。不过,他找到一个不参与经营的合伙人,她的叔叔。她叔叔有很多投资的资金,不过他不想整天陷在日复一日的公司经营中,他已经退休了。
One way that Sam is able to cut down on overhead is to make this a home-based business. She converted her garage into an office where she and her employees could work. Since most of the work would be done on site at her client's office, she didn't need a lot of office space.
萨姆减少人头费用的一个方法就是办个家庭企业。她将她的改成了办公室用于员工工作。由于公司的很多工作都可以在用户的地方完成,所以她不需要太多的办公地址。
I asked Sam if she was nervous about quitting her job to start her own business. She said that it's a big risk but that she was looking forward to the challenge. If she fails, she said, she can always audition for American Idol. Well, I thought, I've heard Sam sing. I really hope her business takes off!
我问她辞掉工作自己创业是否感觉紧张。她说是有点冒险,不过她渴望迎接些挑战。她说如果她失败了,她就去美国偶像栏目去试戏。我倒是以前听过她唱歌。我真希望她的事业能起飞。

篇二:学生生活小常识广播稿
涵涵和菲菲
一、开场白
男:采撷一缕阳光,编织成七彩的花环。
女:留住一阵清风,播撒出希望的明天。
男:付出一份真诚,打造出温馨的世界。
女:带走一丝烦恼,让快乐与我们同行。
合:敬爱的老师们,亲爱的同学们,大家好!红领巾广播又和大家见面啦!
女:我是播音员xxx
男:我是播音员xxx
女:这一期我们为大家安排的栏目有《成语故事》、《十万个为什么》、《谜语屋》《生活小窍门》,希望你们能喜欢。
男: 首先是《成语故事》
女:杞人忧天
从前在杞国,有一个胆子很小,而且有点神经质的人,他常会想到一些奇怪的问题,而让人觉得莫名其妙。
有一天,他吃过晚饭以后,拿了一把大蒲扇,坐在门前乘凉,并且自言自语的说:
假如有一天,天塌了下来,那该怎么办呢?我们岂不是无路可逃,而将活活地被压死,这不就太冤枉了吗?从此以后,他几乎每天为这个问题发愁、烦恼,朋友见他终日精神恍惚,脸色憔悴,都很替他担心,但是,当大家知道原因后,都跑来劝他说:老兄啊!你何必为这件事自寻烦恼呢?天空怎么会塌下来呢?再说即使真的塌下来,那也不是你一个人忧虑发愁就可以解决的啊,想开点吧!
可是,无论人家怎么说,他都不相信,仍然时常为这个不必要的问题担忧。
后来的人就根据上面这个故事,引伸成杞人忧天这句成语,它的主要意义在唤醒人们不要为一些不切实际的事情而忧愁。它与庸人自扰的意义大致相同。
女:接下来是《十万个为什么》--起床后马上叠被子对吗
男: 大多数人起床后总先忙着把被子叠好,再去洗漱、做早饭等,而且认为这是一个好习惯。然而,你也许不知道,起床后立即叠被子是错误的。
人体本身也是一个污染源。在8小时左右的睡眠中,人体的皮肤会排出大量的水蒸气,使被子不同程度地受潮。人的呼吸作用和分布全身的毛孔会排出多种气体和汗液。
国外2024专家用气相色谱仪测定表明,人从呼吸道排出的化学物质等达149种,从汗液中蒸发的化学物质多达151种。被子吸收或吸附了水分和气体,如不让其散发出去,会使被子受潮,并使其受化学物质的污染,产生难闻的气体,从而影响被子的使用寿命。经常使用受污染的被子,对人体健康也是有害的。
正确的方法是,起床后随手将被子翻过来,并立即把门窗打开,让水分、气体自然散发,出门前再将被子叠好。
女:下面是《谜语屋》
男:上一期的答案,同学们想到了吗?
(猜一物 )一根藤儿结满果,果子红衣紧紧裹,藤儿着火往上窜,果子大喊四下落。答案是鞭炮。
女:(脑筋急转弯)用椰子和西瓜打头哪一个比较痛?答案是头比较痛。
男:本期谜语,请大家仔细听罗!
(打一乐器) 一条小弄堂,许多小天窗。
女:(脑筋急转弯)动物园中,大象鼻子最长,鼻子第二长的是什么?
男:接下来是《生活小窍门》栏目。生活中,我们总会碰上一些麻烦事。
女:生活小窍门,我们帮你支招。
男:今天,借着电波告诉你五则小常识。竖起耳朵,听好哦!
女:吃了辣的东西,感觉就要被辣死了,就往嘴里放上少许盐,含一下,吐掉,漱下口,马上就不辣了。
男:牙齿黄,可以把花生嚼碎后含在嘴里,并刷牙三分钟,很有效。
女:同学们仰头点眼药水时可以微微张嘴,这样眼睛就不会乱眨了
男:眼睛进了小灰尘,闭上眼睛用力咳嗽几下,灰尘就会自己出来。
女:最后要告诉大家的是:吃了有异味的东西,如大蒜、臭豆腐,吃几颗花生米就好了。
男:下面是《哆来咪点歌台》栏目
音乐〈 xx〉
男:时间过得真快,同学们,又到说再见的时候了。
女:我们衷心地祝愿:红领巾广播站能成为你的良师益友,愿它能带走你所有的烦恼,为你带去无尽的欢乐;
男:愿它能给你留下美好的回忆,伴随你度过金色的童年。
女:感谢大家的收听,再见。
男:再见!
篇三:小学生生活小常识广播稿
(一)音 乐:
主持人: Hello,大家好, 又到了周三,又是这个时间,生活小百科栏目又和大家见面了,我是五二班的主持人孟凡睛, 好了,快来看看今天都有什么内容吧。
1. 为甚么星星会一闪一闪的? 我们看到星闪闪,这不是因为星星本身的光度出现变化,而是与大气的遮挡2024。 大气隔在我们与星星之间,当星光通过大气层时,会受到大气的密度和厚薄影响。大气不是绝对的透明,它的透明度会根据密度的不同而产生变化。所以我们在地面透过它来看星星,就会看到星星好像在闪动的样子了。 2. 为甚么人会打呵欠? 当我们感到疲累时,体内已产生了许多的二氧化碳。当二氧化碳过多时,必须再增加氧气来平衡体内所需。因为这些残留的二氧化碳,会影响我们身体的机能活动,这时身体便会发出保护性的反应,于是就打起呵欠来。 打呵欠是一种深呼吸动作,它会让我们比平常更多地吸进氧气和排出二气化碳,还做到消除疲劳的作用呢
3.牛奶什么时候喝比较好
据专家介绍,一天之中饮用牛奶有三个最佳时间:早餐的热能供应占人体总热能需求的25%至30%,早餐时喝一杯牛奶,再配合鸡蛋或面包,就可以提供充足的营养;下午4时左右,在晚餐前饮用牛奶比较好;晚上睡觉前喝一杯牛奶有助于睡眠,在喝牛奶时配上几块饼干效果更佳
(二)音 乐:
主持人: 欢迎大家回来 。 下面是一组科学小常识
1. 读写时,眼离书本的距离应该一尺,最好每30分钟休息个5分钟,站起来走动一下,或看看窗外都可以。
2.要保护好牙齿一定要做到早晚刷牙。
3.看电视时,座位与电视机的距离至少二米。 4.预防蛔虫病和蛲虫病要做到注意饮食卫生,不喝生水,生吃瓜果要洗净削皮。 5.饭前便后勤洗手。
6.肺在人体的胸腔里。
7.预防流感主要是在流感流行期间尽量少到公共场所。
8.预防肠道传染病应防止病从口人养成良好的卫生习惯,饭前便后要洗手。
9.预防甲型肝炎应做到:注意饮食卫生;喝开水;饭前便后要洗手。
10.老鼠主要传播流行性出血热。
11.苍蝇能传播肠道传染病。
12.预防贫血要多吃动物肝脏。海带等含铁量高的食物。
13.吸烟可致肺癌。
14.骨头。虾皮。豆制品的含钙。磷量较多。
15.被狗咬后一定要及时到防疫部门处理伤口和注射狂犬疫苗。
16.平时使用计算机,与计算机屏幕的距离不可短于30公分,使用防辐射认证的护目镜,避免辐射线对眼睛的伤害

春天是万物生长的季节,因此细菌、病毒也不例外,它们加速繁殖,再由于气候变化无常,忽冷忽热,也使春天成为了一个疾病好发的季节,对我们的小学生来说,春天容易患二大类疾病:一类是传染性疾病(譬如有:流行性感冒,水痘、腮腺炎等),另一类是过敏性疾病(譬如过敏性鼻炎,严重的甚至发生支气管哮喘),但是,同学们也不要过于担心,害怕,只要我们在平时能做到下面几点,这些疾病还是可以预防的。
一、刚刚被蚊子咬完时,涂上肥皂就不会痒了;
二、如果嗓子、牙龈发炎了,在晚上把西瓜切成小块,沾着盐吃,记得一定要是晚上,当时症状就会减轻,第二天就好了;
三、打嗝时就喝点醋,立杆见影;
四、吃了有异味的东西,如大蒜、臭豆腐,吃几颗花生米就好了;
五、治疗咳嗽,特别是干咳,晚上睡觉前,用纯芝麻香油煎鸡蛋,油放稍多些,什么调味料都不要放,趁热吃过就去睡觉,连吃几天效果很明显;
六、插花时,在水里滴上一滴洗洁精,可以维持好几天;
七、把残茶叶晒干,放到厕所或者沟渠里燃熏,可消除恶臭,具有驱除蚊子苍蝇的功能;
八、桌子、瓶子表面的不干胶痕迹用风油精可以擦拭;
九、出门时随时在包里带一节小的干电池,若裙子带静电,就把电池的正极在裙子上面擦几下即可去掉静电;
十、夏天足部容易出汗,每天用淡盐水泡脚可有效应对汗脚;
十一、夏天游泳后晒晒太阳,可防肌肤劳损等疾病发生;
十二、夏天枕头易受潮滋生霉菌,时常曝晒枕芯有利健康;
十三、防失眠:睡前少讲太多话,忌饮浓茶,睡前勿大用脑,可用热水加醋洗脚;
十四、14 、夏天擦拭凉席,用滴加了花露水的清水擦拭凉席,可使凉席保持清爽洁净。当然,擦拭时最好沿着凉席纹路进行,以便花露水渗透到凉席的纹路缝隙,这样清凉舒适的感觉会更持久;
十五、因外伤碰破皮肉时,在伤处涂上牙膏进行消炎、止血,再包扎,作为临时急救药,以药物牙膏效果最为显著;
十六、发生头痛、头晕时,可在太阳穴涂上牙膏,因为牙膏含有薄荷脑、丁香油可镇痛;
十七、加酶洗衣粉剂放在温水中需要较长的分解时间才能使洗衣效果更佳;
十八、换季疲劳:在季节更替的时候经常发生换季疲劳,给自己做一个“安眠枕”。在枕套下面多放些气味芬芳的杀菌植物叶片:月桂、蕨、榛树、针叶、薄荷和玫瑰花瓣。
十九、眼睛红肿:用香芹汁湿敷消除眼睛红肿,将香芹切成小细段装入纱布袋内放入开水中。过15-20分钟取出,冷却,放在眼皮上10分钟。
高三我的校园生活广播稿2024 第十一篇
在我心目中,班级就是我第二个温暖的家。
记得两年前的九月,带父母的期盼、带着雀跃的心情,我走进了津天第九中学。走进班级,迎接我的是同学们一张张灿烂的笑脸。那笑容犹如一道阳光,照亮了我忐忑不安的心扉。从那时起,我就决定把我青春的爱和热情,献给我梦想起飞的新起点—2班。
2班,是一轮冉冉升起的朝阳。瞧,我们的班主任,出类拨萃,在带好我们同时,又要为班级的琐碎小事而操劳,她把我们看得比自己的孩子还重要呀!再看看任课老师们,语文老师循循善诱,数学老师方正质朴,英语老师慈祥和蔼……他们是一群团结、慈爱,并且充满工作热情的园丁。有他们的呵护,我们怎么能不茁壮成长?
请听乐曲《月光》
2班,是一棵茁壮成长的大树。这里有24位可爱的学生,他们团结,充满梦想。教室里他们埋头若干,在书的海洋里,寻找知识的宝藏,在篮球场上他们团结合作,活力四射,打扫卫生,个个都积极劳动。24颗积极向上、荣誉感强烈的心紧密联系在一起,攻无不克,战无不胜。在不久的将来,它将长成为一棵参天栋梁。它和它的每一个成员所创造的辉煌都将属于2班这个光荣的集体。
在这样优秀的老师的教育下,我们怎能不认真用心的学习呢?在这样好的环境里,我们又怎能辜负所有为我们倾注心血的长辈的期望呢?
下面请听一首《tears》
班级是我家,我们在它的树荫下成长,在它的怀抱中坚强。同时,我们也需要付出汗水和努力,使它茁壮成长,结出荣誉的果实。班级的发展与每个同学的付出是密不可分的。我们都爱自己的班级,我们都希望能为班级立下一份功劳,为班级争光,赢得老师和同学们的认可,在班级中健康快乐地成长。那么我们就要从现在做起,从点点滴滴积累,以同学们之间的团结协作为基础,以集体荣誉为动力,坚持不懈,奋发向上,一步步脚踏实地,争取登上更高的山峰。
既然我们都相聚在2班这个温暖的大家庭里,就让我们用心去爱这个集体,共同努力,创造2班品牌,让这条巨龙在第九中学的蓝天上自由飞翔。
听完了我们班级的故事,高三2班再送给大家一首钢琴曲《如诗般宁静》我是高三2班的主持人。我们下次再见。
慢速生活英语口语广播19:高中的打工经历 第十二篇
high school jobs高中的打工经历
I got my first part-time job when I was 15 working at a car wash in the summertime. A friend of mine, Rob, worked there and got me the job. I think it paid $2.90 an hour, which I considered a fortune. There were no allowances in my family, so most of my brothers and sisters started working as soon as they could to get spending money. I hated working at the car wash, drying cars all day. After only about six weeks working there (though it seemed much longer), I up and quit one day. I felt badly about not giving a two-week notice, but I had it up to here with the job. Luckily, another friend of mine got me a job working at a nursing home, washing dishes in the kitchen. I started the day after my 16th birthday, qualifying me for a slightly higher minimum wage.
我在15岁的时候找到了我第一个工作,夏天在一家洗车行洗车。我的一个朋友叫ROB,在那工作并把我介绍到那去的。当时的时薪是2.9美元,在我眼里是个不小的数目。我们家的孩子都没有零花钱,所以我的兄弟姐妹们都早早工作给自己赚点钱。我讨厌在车行里整天擦车的工作。在那工作了也就六周的时间,有一天我突然决定辞职。虽然我有些歉意没有提前两周通知我的辞职,我还是下决心辞掉这个工作。幸运的是,我另外一个朋友给我在养育院找了个在厨房涮盘子的工作。过了16岁生日,我开始了这份工作,因为这样才满足就业的最低年龄要求。
Life scrubbing pots and pans was no picnic, let me tell you. I lasted there for only three months, working after school and on weekends while trying to keep up with my homework in high school. My next job was much better: Making keys at a lockith. The working conditions were much better, and I had flexible hours around my school schedule. I stayed at that job for nearly seven years, right through my college years at the University of Minnesota. To this day I still know the names of all the common key blanks, but it doesn't come in handy very often!
我可以告诉你,整天洗碗与碟的日子真不怎么样。我在那仅坚持了三个月,一方面要跟上学校的学业,一方面课后要工作,还没有周末。我的下一个工作就好多了,在一个锁匠那里做钥匙。工作环境要好很多,而且我的工作时间也很灵活,可以安排好我的学业。那个工作我一做就是七年,包含了我在明尼苏达大学学习的整个时间。直到今天我能叫得出所有常见钥匙胚子的名字,只是这种能力通常是没有什么用武之地。

17.加酶洗衣粉剂放在温水中需要较长的分解时间才能使洗衣效果更佳;
18.换季疲劳:在季节更替的时候经常发生换季疲劳,给自己做一个“安眠枕”。在枕套下面多放些气味芬芳的杀菌植物叶片:月桂、蕨、榛树、针叶、薄荷和玫瑰花瓣。

24.醉后不舒服感:在躺下睡觉前喝几杯水(最好是蜂蜜水):它会帮助你减轻第二天早上的痛苦。如果早上起来还是感觉不舒服,那么,无论是药片,还是盐溶液都帮不了你,贴个芥末膏在小腿上,在额头上放块冰。过半小时你的症状就会减轻。
25.黑眼圈:如果你的黑眼圈不是因为慢性疾病,而是因为睡眠不足,用沾了凉浓咖啡(3汤勺咖啡兑100克开水)的湿布敷在黑眼圈部位。是非常好的血管收缩剂,这种方法青光眼患者禁用。
26.预防感冒:如果你准备牛奶咖啡和三明治做早餐,可以在每片粗粮面包上涂薄薄一层黄油和2-3瓣捣碎的蒜。蒜层上还可以放些干酪和蔬菜。这样的早餐的秘密在于:蒜可以消灭所有的细菌,而牛奶咖啡可以消除蒜味。
27.掉头发:擦碎一个洗净的土豆,榨出土豆汁,加入2汤勺芦荟汁和20克蜂蜜。把这种混合物转圈涂在头部皮肤上,用毛巾将头发包2个小时,然后仔细洗净。每周进行这种疗法两次,会获得效果。
28.嗓子痛:当你刚刚着凉,感觉嗓子发痒和嗓子不舒服时,用两茶勺苹果醋兑入一杯凉开水中。喝掉三分之一,其余的每小时漱口一次。通常一昼夜疼痛就会消失。
29.失眠:如果你经常失眠,那么准备些薰衣草香精油或者普通的新鲜柠檬。睡前半小时在灯泡上滴上1、2滴薰衣草香精油或者柠檬汁,挥发的物质作用于大脑,使身体放松、镇定。
30.不喝不洁净水、生吃瓜果应洗净或削皮、不随地大小便、不乱扔废物、勤晒衣服被褥等。
慢速生活英语口语广播17:航班等位 第十八篇
wait-listed for a flight航班等位
I can't believe I made it into San Francisco, at long last! This morning, I went to the airport to catch my 10 a.m. flight. I got there early to go through security. The folks at the TSA can really slow things down sometimes. Since I had an electronic ticket, I didn't have to wait at the ticket counter to check in, but instead used a kiosk. I then went straight to the gate. But, when I got there, I couldn't believe my eyes. The flight was delayed--for two hours!
我不敢相信最终我还是到了旧金山。今天早上我去机场赶十点的航班。我到得较早为了过安检。交通的家伙有时会耗你很多时间。因为我用的是电子客票,所以我不用到柜台前去办登机手续,而只用自动登机亭就行了。于是我直接走向大门。但当我到那时,我几乎不敢相信我的眼睛,我的航班延误两个小时。
I decided to look at the flight monitors to see if there was an earlier flight to San Francisco. I thought maybe I could either switch to that flight or get wait-listed. I saw that there was another flight leaving in 40 minutes and so I bolted for the gate. When I got there, I got into the back of the long line. When I got to the front of the line, I asked the gate agent if I could get on that flight instead and she said I would be wait-listed. She said that I needed to stay in the gate area and wait for my name to be called if they have a seat available. So, I waited, and waited, and waited.
我决定去机场航班显示屏那看看有没有去旧金山更早的航班。也许我能登上那个航班或在那个航班等位。当我到那的时候,那已经排起长队了。当我排到柜台前时,我问工作人员我是否能登上那个航班,她说我需要等位。她叫我在登机门区域等着,如果有位置他们会叫我的名字。于是,我等呀等呀。
The gate agent began calling out names over the PA system and guest what? The last name called was mine. What a relief! The last seat left on the plane was a middle seat and I usually prefer an aisle or window seat, but I was just happy to get on board. I didn't want my vacation to get delayed because of a late flight.
工作人员开始通过广播系统叫名字,你猜怎么着,最后一个名字是我的。真棒!飞机上空出的最后一个位子是中间的,而我通常喜欢靠过道的或靠窗的,不过能登上飞机我就很高兴了。我不想我的假期因航班延误。
When the plane landed, I went out to the curb to catch a taxi to my hotel. I only had carry-on bags so I didn't need to wait in baggage claim. I was out of the airport and off on my vacation.
当飞机降落后,我去街角打了一个出租车去我的酒店。因为我的行李都是随身的,所以我不用在机场等行李。我离开了机场开始了我的假期。

bargaining with a seller砍价
It was Saturday afternoon and I was shopping in the garment district in downtown L.A. If you want to find good deals on clothes, shoes, and accessories, this is the place to come. To get the best deal, though, you have to be ready to bargain.
I walked by a stall and saw a purse I liked. The owner had just finished making a sale.
这是周六的下午,我在洛杉矶闹市的服装区购物。如果你想买到些好的衣服、鞋子与饰品,这是个好地方。不过要拿到最后的成交价,你要做好砍价的准备。我走过一个小摊位看见一个钱包不错。摊主刚刚做成一笔买卖。

Man: You drive a hard bargain. The best I can do is $54. You won't find it cheaper anywhere else.
男:你砍价真狠。两个给你54美金。你不可能再在任何其它地方拿到这么好的价格了
Lucy: Why don't we split the difference and make it $52?
女:那就取个折中,52美金如何
Man: Okay, okay. You've got a deal.
男:行吧行吧,就按这个价格成交吧。
