關於這篇文章
背景
在旅遊時,到當地市集與小攤販討價還價是許多旅客喜愛的體驗。一般來說,攤販開價後,買家可以委婉地表示太貴,再提出較低的價格,雙方慢慢縮小差距,直到達成共識。以量換折扣(一次買兩件比只買一件划算)也是市集常見的談判策略。本篇模擬旅客 Alex 在市集向攤商 Maria 購買手工手環,完整走過詢價、殺價、以量換折扣到確認付款方式的真實流程,所有句子皆可直接在旅遊現場開口使用。
  • 旅客 Alex 詢問攤商 Maria 手工手環的價格
  • Alex 以「其他攤位更便宜」為由要求降價
  • 雙方針對單件與兩件的價格來回議價
  • Alex 以一次買兩件換取折扣,最終以五十二元成交
  • 確認市集只收現金,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!

中文翻譯

Alex: 不好意思,請問這個手環多少錢?

Maria: 那個四十美元。

Alex: 四十?對我來說有點太貴了。可以算我便宜一點嗎?

Maria: 這是手工製作的,所以品質比其他攤位的高很多。

Alex: 其實我在另一個攤位看到一樣的東西,價格更便宜。

Maria: 那些不是手工的。我的要花很多時間做。我可以算你三十五。

Alex: 這是你的最低價嗎?三十五感覺還是有點高。

Maria: 我可以算三十二,這已經是很划算的價格了。

Alex: 如果我買兩個呢?你可以給我更優惠的價格嗎?

Maria: 如果你買兩個,兩件一起算你五十五。

Alex: 兩個四十八怎麼樣?

Maria: 四十八對我來說太低了。我可以算五十二,手工商品這樣已經很合理了。

Alex: 好,兩個五十二。成交!

Maria: 太好了!這些是很棒的紀念品,你的家人一定會喜歡的。

Alex: 這兩個我都要。你們收信用卡嗎,還是只收現金?

Maria: 很抱歉,只收現金。市集裡沒有刷卡機。

Alex: 沒關係,這是六十美元。

Maria: 這是找你的八美元零錢。謝謝你,祝你後半段旅程愉快!
