賴世雄購物英語口語大全（56）退款與更換
Most stores in America have return and exchange policies. If, for instance, you buy a shirt and find out when you try it on that it's too small, you can take it back to the store and exchange it for a larger size. At many stores it is also possible to return items for a refund, though there is usually a time limit. Also, not all items can be returned. Books, swimsuits and CDs (if they've been opened), for example, cannot be returned. When you make a purchase, it's always a good idea to find out the store's return and exchange policy.
美國大部份的商店都有退款和更換的規(guī)定。舉例來說，如果你買了一件襯衫，試穿時(shí)卻發(fā)現(xiàn)太小了，就可以把它拿回店里換大一點(diǎn)的尺寸。很多商店也可以讓商品歸還以退錢，不過這有時(shí)間限制。并非所有的物品都可被退還。例如：書、泳衣和CD(假如它們已經(jīng)被打開了)就不能被退還。當(dāng)你在買東西時(shí)，通常的好點(diǎn)子就是弄清楚店家退貨或退款的規(guī)定。
