今天的这段对话，在讨论讨价还价，
怎么看待在中国买东西时讨价还价的行为
来听今天的讲解:
A: Hey, Robert, that's a nice shirt you are wearing. Where did you get it?
嗨,罗伯特.你身上这件衬衫不错,在哪里买的?
B: thanks, I like it too. I bought it at the nearby department store.
谢谢,我也挺喜欢这件衬衫的,就在附近的商场里买的.
A: that's nice. Do you know you can get one at the wholesale market near the zoo for a much lower price?
挺好的.不过你知道要在动物园旁边的批发市场里买,还会便宜很多吗?
B: yeah, I know that. But at those places. the prices they ask you are ridiculously high, and if you don't bargain hard, you will get ripped-off.
是的,我知道.但是在那些地方,通常他们的要加都很高,要是你不还价的话,你就会被狠宰一顿.
A: true, learning how to haggle the price is one of the things people have to pick up when they come to China for the first time.
的确是,第一次来中国,人们最开始要学会的东西中有一样就是还价.
B: yeah, but personally, I hate bargaining. If I bargain,I might come to a lower price, but I will never konw the true price of what I am buying; and I always have the feeling that I am overcharged at those places.
是的，但就我个人而言，我讨厌讨价还价。如果我讨价还价，我可能会得到更低的价格，但我永远不会知道我所买东西的真实价格；我总是觉得在那些地方我被多收了钱。
A: yeah, I have the same feeling. Also there is another thing that bothers me the quality. Things in a department store are usually quality-guaranteed. But at a wholesale market, you never know whether what you are buying are of good quality or not.
是的，我也有同样的感觉。还有一件事困扰着我，那就是质量。百货商店里的东西通常都有质量保证。但在批发市场，你永远不知道你买的东西质量是否好。
B: that's why I like department stores more. Shopping at a wholesale market like the locals is one of the few things I am unable to grow accustomd to.
这就是为什么我更喜欢在商场里没东西,我就总是做不到像当地人一样在批发市场里购物,真的不习惯.
A: I understand. While it's always good to follow the local customs, I guess there are exceptions.
我明白.尽管按照当地的习俗来做很好,可是我也觉得应该有例外的情况.
