譯言堂:邱政政教你購物狂的必備英語
你是購物狂shopaholic嗎?要當(dāng)一個兢兢業(yè)業(yè)誠誠懇懇的購物狂,這些問題你必須知道:
1. 購物狂最喜歡的兩個日子是?
Black Friday(感恩節(jié)后第二天)和Boxing Day(圣誕后第二天)。 為什么?這兩天都是銷售旺季?。lack Friday標(biāo)志著Christmas Shopping Season的開始:
On this day, many retailers open very early, often at 4 a.m., or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season. Black Friday is not actually a holiday, but many employers give their employees the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers.
這一天商店開門都會很早,凌晨四點(diǎn)就會開門,雖然不是法定節(jié)假日,但基本上這一天都會放假,無形中給了大家購物的機(jī)會。
Boxing Day中文里稱之為節(jié)禮日,這一天商家都會打折,所以是購物的好日子:
In Britain, Canada, New Zealand and some states of Australia, Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday, much like the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. It is a time where shops have sales, often with dramatic price decreases. For many merchants, Boxing Day has become the day of the year with the greatest revenue.
在英國、加拿大、新西蘭和澳大利亞一些地區(qū),節(jié)禮日的意義跟美國的Black Friday一樣,是名副其實(shí)的購物日,這一天各處都有打折,商家在這一天的收益幾乎是全年最多的。
2. 購物之后,除了商品,還有什么不能忘記?
不要忘拿receipt(收據(jù)),上面通常會印有Exchange and refund policy:90day exchange,30day refund with tags.90天之內(nèi)可以更換商品,30天內(nèi)可以退貨(商品完好的狀況下)
3. 除了節(jié)假日打折,還有哪些省錢妙招?
節(jié)假日之外我們還可以用到coupon,優(yōu)惠券;一般商場里平時(shí)也會有降價(jià)出售以吸引人氣的商品,這種稱為loss leader。超市或者便利店里還有送積分的活動,這種叫做frequent shopper program,買的多,積分多,一般就會有折扣或者禮物。想當(dāng)一個職業(yè)的購物狂嘛?買東西前真的要多做homework哦~
