四十一　购物

西方的超市和我们在中国所看到的有很大的不同。

实际上，除了大城市外，中国没有多少真正的大超市。

在中国，走进一座大楼，在同一楼层里买到食物、家具等不常见。

谈起购物，我们常联想到买食物和衣服。

现代西方超市，以上两种都能买到，我们也可以买到家具、报纸、家庭用品、电器和电子产品。

进入超市，我们通常要拿篮子或推车。

这个将取决于我们计划购买什么。

推一辆大推车在超市里闲逛是一种乐趣。

我们在走道之间行走，选择所需物品，可以在同一个楼层里买到全部所需。

然后排队付款，收银员会告诉我们要付多少钱。

我们可以用现金、支票、信用卡付款，这对超市没有影响。

现在，我们不必离开家也可以购物。

我们可以在网上购买日常用品。

整个超市在屏幕上展现出来，我们可以在走道间行走选择。

我们用信用卡付款，货物当天就可以送到。
