aBright colors, smooth material, exquisite craftsmanship, soft lines…Darling, it looks elegant on you! It can't be any cheap stuff. Something around two hundred, I guess.
颜色亮丽,料子光滑,做工精致,线条也很柔和…你穿上它显得真高雅.肯定便宜不了吧?大概200块?
bYour offer is way off the mark. It set me back only sixty-five.
你的报价太离谱了.我只花了65块.
aThen you got a windfall! Was sixty-five the original price, or did you get a special discount?
哇!天上掉馅饼了.65是原价呢,还是打了折?
bNeither. I drove a hard bargain with the vendor before I got the price down.
都不是.我跟那个小贩费了老半天功夫才买到的.
aHow much did she ask for?
她开口要多少?
bThree hundred! That's daylight robbery. How dare she play tricks on an old hand like me? Without hesitation, I gave my offer---no more than fifty.
aShe must be fuming with anger at such a bid, wasn't she?
你给这个低的价儿,她一定气的冒烟吧?
bNot at all! She's really been around, and seemed quite accustomed to bargaining like this. That's the trade. She only demanded a higher bid, saying the purchase price was even higher than seventy. She was lying! Then I inquired ,'May I have it at sixty?' she waved her head.
bYeah. I turned around and started to move out. Just then, she yelped behind my back,' all right, all right! I may sacrifice a little. Let's fix it sixty-five! Can't be cheaper.'
