經典收藏:實用討價還價口語盤點

我們先來看看來外對討價還價這個概念是怎麼理解的。

It is not a common practice in Western countries... I have a lot of problems coming to terms with this concept here. It is where you and the seller come from different ends of the price to pay for something. Obviously you want it as cheap as you can and the seller wants to sell it for as much money as they can. It then is a process of negotiating a price that both buyer and seller are willing to accept.

看來討價還價在西方國家不是很常見的呢，但是我們還是要掌握怎麼表達。

常見的有: negotiate a reduced price, beat sb down, bargain, haggle...

beat sb down: to persuade someone to reduce a price 說服某人降價,殺價

He wanted $8 000 for the car but I beat him down to $6 000.

他那輛汽車要價8000元,但我壓到了6000元.

Bargain: to discuss the conditions of a sale, agreement etc, for example to try and get a lower price 討價還價,商討條件

He said he wasn't prepared to bargain.

他說他不願討價還價.

Haggle: to argue when you are trying to agree about the price of something 講價

通常搭配是: haggle (with sb) (over sth)

I left him in the market haggling over the price of a shirt.

我扔下他自己在市場上就一件襯衫討價還價.

Don't you even try to fool me! I'm no country cousin.

你甭想蒙我!我可不是鄉巴佬.

You are pricing yourself out of the market!

你這是漫天要價!

It's a daylight robbery!/ You must be putting me on. To charge 50 yuan for a mere cup of tea!

簡直是搶劫!一杯茶就要我50塊.

That's unreasonable! I'd take it for 100.

太貴了!一百塊我就買.

I like everything about it except the price.

各方面我都很喜歡,除了價格.

Lower the price and I'll consider.

便宜點我就考慮下.

If I buy more than one, will you give me a discount?

Three hundred dollars for this dictionary - isn't that a bit steep?

這本字典要三百美元,是不是貴了一點?

It's a rip-off.

貴得太離譜了。

I'm afraid I can't drop the price any further.

這是最低價了.

I'm not kidding, but we are making a fair deal—30 yuan is quite acceptable for a decent man like you.

我不是跟你開玩笑.你是個體面人,30塊的加錢很合理.

Do be reasonable! My offer is based on a minimum profit.

我這價兒不高,利已經夠薄了.
