【kaka礼节美语】181 讨价还价，必须得！ 3

听力简介：

Gina带美国老板Jason去购物，Jason让Gina教他砍价。

Jason: What about walking away? Some friends back home told me if I don't like the price, just walk away and the ---1---.

G: (Chuckle) Oh...the vendors know that tactic as well! ---2---. They have a knack of knowing who is serious and who isn't.

J: So, what's our first purchase of the day going to be?

Jason问，如果觉得卖主是在宰自己，转身就走这招管不管用。Gina说，这种策略卖主早就知道，tactic is spelled t-a-c-t-i-c, tactic, 是策略的意思，卖主只有在觉得你99.9%会在他那买东西的情况下才会追出来，而且他们一眼就能看出谁是真心要买，knack is spelled k-n-a-c-k, knack, have a knack of doing something, 是十分擅长做某事的意思。他们今天先要去买什么呢？

G: I think we should start with some silk items. First, ---2---. Then we'll start bargaining.

J: Can I pay with a credit card?

G: In an established store, sure. But when we go into the area with lots of little stalls, ---4---. Also when they see cash in your hand...prices do come down a bit more.

Gina建议去买丝绸制品，她要先确认产品是真货，不是fake,假货，然后开始砍价。Gina还说，在established store正规的大商店里，Jason，可以用信用卡付费，pay with a credit card, 但在小店里，就要用现金了，而且卖方看到你手里拿着现金，the prices do come down a bit more，价格能降得更低些。

J: We have an expression in English: ---5---.

G: Oh...I think I get it. That means it's better to have something tangible, even if it's not as exciting as other possibilities.

J: That's right. You know something, Gina? I think I like China's way of doing business. It's a little wild, but it's a challenge and much more interesting than shopping back home.

G: Ah...there's the store. ---5---.

英语里有种说法叫a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush，一鸟在手胜过两鸟在林，意思是现在已经有的，要比追求更多而失去一切强。

Jason说，他觉得中国人讨价还价的购物方式比明码标价更有意思，更具挑战性。正说着，商店到了，Gina说，let's get down to business. 开始了，意思是咱们开始杀价吧。
