Amber:Good morning, Ethabella. Have a good sleep?

    Ethabella:Sure did. You?

    Amber:Me too. Where’s the best deal in town?

    Ethabella:Probably at Saver’s Mart. It’s like a huge warehouse. You can find just about anything there.

    Amber:Sounds like the right place to start. Where’s the nearest flea market?

    Ethabella:Just 3 blocks north of here.

    Amber:OK, see you later (she goes to Saver’s Mart and gets into a discussion with a vendor) How long will this be on sale?

    Vendor:3 days.

    Amber:Is there a limit to how many I can purchase?

    Vendor:Yes, there is a limit of 5 per customer.

    Amber:Do I get a better price if I buy in bulk?

    Vendor:Sorry. No discounts on sales items, not even if you have any coupons.

    Amber:Of course. Well, I’ll take two, please (she concludes the purchase, then heads for the flea market. Maybe she can bargain a little more there?)

    Amber决定再去买些东西。由于自己的经济预算有限，她问 Ethabella 哪儿的东西比较便宜。在美国怎样省钱呢？

    Amber:早上好，Ethabella。昨晚睡得好吗？

    Ethabella:很好，你呢？

    Amber: 我也睡得很好。城里哪儿卖东西最便宜啊？

    Ethabella:可能要数旧货市场了。那儿就像一个大仓库，你能找到任何你想要的东西。

    Amber: 听起来是个不错的地方，可以从那儿开始。最近的跳蚤市场在哪里？

    Ethabella:往北过三条街就是。

    Amber: 那好,待会儿见。(她独自一人去了旧货市场，很快就和一位摊主谈了起来) 这个打折会打多长时间？

    Vendor:三天。

    Amber:对我买的数量有限制吗？

    Vendor:是的，每位顾客最多只能买五件。

    amber:如果我一次买很多能再便宜点吗？

    Vendor:对不起。这些东西一直都不打折，即使你有优惠卡也不行。
