Basic Price Inquiry · 基本询价
basicExcuse me, how much is this T-shirt?
打扰一下,这件 T 恤多少钱?
💡 在美国商店,大多数商品都有标价,但问价格完全正常。注意美国标价不含税,结账时会加上销售税。
That one's $24.99. But we're running a sale — it's 20% off today.
那件 24.99 美元。不过我们正在打折——今天八折。
Oh, nice! So it would be about $20 after the discount?
哦,不错!那打折后大概 20 美元?
💡 美国人习惯心算折扣价,你可以确认一下折后价。口语中 about/around 表示大约。
Exactly, $19.99 before tax. Would you like to try it on?
没错,税前 19.99 美元。你要不要试穿一下?
Yes, please. Where are the fitting rooms?
好的,请问试衣间在哪里?
💡 美国试衣间通常有数量限制(一次最多带 6 件),店员会给你一个号码牌。
Right in the back, past the jeans section. I'll grab you a fitting room number.
就在后面,经过牛仔裤区。我去给你拿个试衣间号码。
Comparing & Negotiating Prices · 比价与砍价
intermediateI saw a similar one at the store next door for $15. Could you do any better on the price?
我在隔壁店看到类似的才 15 美元。你们价格能再优惠一点吗?
💡 在美国正规商店通常不议价,但跳蚤市场、古董店、二手店可以。用 Could you do any better 比 Can you lower the price 更礼貌。
Hmm, I can't go that low, but I could do $18. This one's handmade, so the quality's a lot better.
嗯,不能那么低,但我可以 18 美元。这个是手工做的,质量好很多。
What if I buy two? Could you give me a deal — maybe $30 for both?
如果我买两个呢?能不能优惠一下——两个 30 美元?
💡 买多件要求优惠是常见的议价技巧。What if I buy two 是很自然的提议方式。
Tell you what — $32 for two and I'll throw in a free keychain. That's the best I can do.
这样吧——两个 32 美元,再送你一个钥匙扣。这是我的底价了。
All right, you've got a deal. Do you take cards, or is it cash only?
好吧,成交。你们收刷卡吗,还是只收现金?
💡 跳蚤市场和小摊很多只收现金或 Venmo/Zelle 等手机支付。提前问清付款方式可以避免尴尬。
I take cash or Venmo. No cards, sorry — the fees eat into my margins. I can send you a Venmo request if you want.
我收现金或 Venmo。不收刷卡,抱歉——手续费太高了。你要的话我可以发 Venmo 收款给你。
