DESPARATE HOUSEWIVES 111
绝望的主妇第一季第十一集
Lynette: 'You know, if we're going to buy a water heater, we should talk about it. We could go to the mall tomorrow. They're having a sale.'
如果我们要买热水器的话,应该讨论下。我们可以明天去商场,那里在打折。
Tom: 'Could we talk about this tomorrow?'
可以明天再说吗?
Lynette: 'Well, I'm just trying to plan my day.'
我只是在做明天的规划。
重点表达
have a sale: 打折
on sale:打折
国外的商场打折和我们不一样。我们是打9折,打8折,国外一般是去掉百分之多少。9折就是去掉10%,8折就是去掉20%,所以老外打折时会写:
10% off
20% off等等
有点听不懂?
非常好
