Shopping ( 4 )-- Bargaining (A)

Lesson 31
Shopping ( 4 )-- Bargaining (A)

Shops in China often put their goods on sale. But their way of giving discounts is just the opposite to American shops. If the discount is 90%, it means they offer you a 10 % off and you should pay 90% of the original price. You can make a good bargain in farmers’ markets and free markets.

1. This one is too expensive. How about half price?
这zhè-个ge太tài贵guì了le,一yí-半bàn怎zěn-么me样yàng?
2. If you offer a 25% off, I’ll take it.
你nǐ打dǎ七qī-五wǔ折zhé,我wǒ就jiù要yào。
3. I’m going to buy it if you reduce one third of the price.
你nǐ减jiǎn三sān-分fēn-之zhī-一yī,我wǒ准zhǔn-备bèi买mǎi。
4. Every thing in the shop is sold at 20% off.
