地道美語聽力播客:跟賣家討價(jià)還價(jià)
It was Saturday afternoon and I was shopping in the garment district in downtown L.A. If you want to find good deals on clothes, shoes, and accessories , this is the place to come. To get the best deal, though, you have to be ready to bargain.
I walked by a stall and saw a purse I liked. The owner had just finished making a sale .
Lucy: Does this come in any other colors?
Man: Yeah, we have this one in white and blue. I also have this other style in green.
Lucy: How much is the blue one?
Man: It's $32.
Lucy: $32? What about the green one?
Man: That's $30.
Lucy: That seems a little high. Can you do better on the price?
Man: This is a designer bag and it's good quality. It's a bargain at that price.
Lucy: Is that your best offer ?
Man: That's the best I can do.
Lucy: Well, I don't know. I think I'll shop around .
Man: Okay, how about $28.
Lucy: That's still more than I wanted to spend . What if I take the blue one and the green one?
Man: I'll give you both of them for $55.
Lucy: That's not much of a break on the price. How about $50 for both?
Man: You drive a hard bargain . The best I can do is $54. You won't find it cheaper anywhere else.
Lucy: Why don't we split the difference and make it $52?
Man: Okay, okay. You've got a deal .
