原文及翻譯

Every Saturday morning in our part of the world, except in winter, many people drive around the city looking for yard sales. Yard sales, or garage sales, often take place in the driveway of someone's home, or perhaps the front lawn. The homeowners take out all the stuff they don't want and arrange it in front of their house. 

在我們這個地區(qū)，除了冬天，每個周六早上，許多人都會開車在城里轉(zhuǎn)悠，尋找庭院拍賣。庭院拍賣，或車庫拍賣，通常發(fā)生在某人家的車道上，或者可能是前草坪上。房主把他們不想要的東西都拿出來，擺在房子前面。

Usually, they put a price tag on items. People driving by will stop to see if there's anything they want. Many people spend every Saturday morning shopping at yard sales. If they find that they have bought too many things, then they have a yard sale of their own. 

通常，他們會給物品貼上價格標簽。路過的人會停下來看看是否有他們想要的東西。許多人每個周六早上都會在庭院拍賣會上購物。如果他們發(fā)現(xiàn)買了太多東西，他們就會自己舉辦庭院拍賣會。

Some of the shoppers are dealers who buy things for resale. Sometimes they resell them at their own yard sales, but some dealers are professionals who run antique stores, used bookshops, flea markets, or used furniture and appliance stores. 

有些購物者是買東西轉(zhuǎn)售的經(jīng)銷商。有時他們在自己的庭院拍賣會上轉(zhuǎn)售，但有些經(jīng)銷商是經(jīng)營古董店、二手書店、跳蚤市場或二手家具和電器店的專業(yè)人士。

Usually, the dealers will try to get to the yard sale before anyone else, that way they have the best selection. Often, they'll try to buy items for less than what the price tag says. The cheaper they can buy the item, the more profit they can make when they resell it. Their motto is "buy low, sell high."

通常，經(jīng)銷商會試圖先于其他人到達庭院拍賣會，這樣他們就有最好的選擇。通常，他們會試圖以低于標價的價格購買物品。他們買入的價格越便宜，轉(zhuǎn)售時獲得的利潤就越大。他們的座右銘是“低買高賣”。
