关于这篇文章
背景
在旅游时,到当地市集与小摊贩讨价还价是许多旅客喜爱的体验。一般来说,摊贩开价后,买家可以委婉地表示太贵,再提出较低的价格,双方慢慢缩小差距,直到达成共识。以量换折扣(一次买两件比只买一件划算)也是市集常见的谈判策略。本篇模拟旅客 Alex 在市集向摊商 Maria 购买手工手环,完整走过询价、杀价、以量换折扣到确认付款方式的真实流程,所有句子皆可直接在旅游现场开口使用。
  • 旅客 Alex 询问摊商 Maria 手工手环的价格
  • Alex 以「其他摊位更便宜」为由要求降价
  • 双方针对单件与两件的价格来回议价
  • Alex 以一次买两件换取折扣,最终以五十二元成交
  • 确认市集只收现金,完成付款

Alex: Excuse me. How much is this bracelet?

Maria: That one is forty dollars.

Alex: Forty? That's a bit too expensive for me. Could you give me a better price?

Maria: It's handmade, so the quality is much higher than the ones at other stalls.

Alex: I saw the same thing for less at another stall, actually.

Maria: Those are not handmade. Mine take a lot of time to make. I can go down to thirty-five.

Alex: Is that your best price? Thirty-five still feels a bit high.

Maria: I can do thirty-two. That is already a great bargain.

Alex: What if I buy two? Would you give me a better deal?

Maria: If you buy two, I can give you both for fifty-five.

Alex: How about forty-eight for two?

Maria: Forty-eight is too low for me. I can do fifty-two. It's a fair price for handmade items.

Alex: Okay, fifty-two for two. Deal!

Maria: Great! These make perfect souvenirs. Your family will love them.

Alex: I'll take them both. Do you take cards, or cash only?

Maria: Cash only, I'm afraid. There is no card machine at the market.

Alex: No problem. Here is sixty dollars.

Maria: And here is your eight dollars change. Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your trip!

中文翻译

Alex: 不好意思,请问这个手环多少钱?

Maria: 那个四十美元。

Alex: 四十?对我来说有点太贵了。可以算我便宜一点吗?

Maria: 这是手工制作的,所以品质比其他摊位的高很多。

Alex: 其实我在另一个摊位看到一样的东西,价格更便宜。

Maria: 那些不是手工的。我的要花很多时间做。我可以算你三十五。

Alex: 这是你的最低价吗?三十五感觉还是有点高。

Maria: 我可以算三十二,这已经是很划算的价格了。

Alex: 如果我买两个呢?你可以给我更优惠的价格吗?

Maria: 如果你买两个,两件一起算你五十五。

Alex: 两个四十八怎么样?

Maria: 四十八对我来说太低了。我可以算五十二,手工商品这样已经很合理了。

Alex: 好,两个五十二。成交!

Maria: 太好了!这些是很棒的纪念品,你的家人一定会喜欢的。

Alex: 这两个我都要。你们收信用卡吗,还是只收现金?

Maria: 很抱歉,只收现金。市集里没有刷卡机。

Alex: 没关系,这是六十美元。

Maria: 这是找你的八美元零钱。谢谢你,祝你后半段旅程愉快!
