實用會話 Dialogue

 A  Good afternoon. How may I help you, sir?
 B  I’m just browsing. Is this table made of mahogany?
 A  Yes, it is. Good eye, sir. Old as it is, it’s a really good piece of hand-carved furniture.
 B  Good as it may be, it’s too expensive.
 A  How about 20% off for a connoisseur like yourself?
 B  Hmm... How about 50% off?
 A  I’m sorry, sir. Generous as I am, I can’t afford to offer a discount like that.
 B  OK. Make it 30% off and you’ve got a deal.
 A  You do drive a hard bargain! OK, sir. It’s a deal.
 B  Do those chairs go with the table?
 A  They don’t come as a set. They’re actually a slightly different shade of mahogany.
 B  Different as they are, I don’t think a blind man on a galloping horse would notice.
 A  If you’re interested in them, I could offer the same 30% discount as the table.
 B  OK, I’ll take them, too. So much for just browsing!

 

 A  午安。先生，有什麼我可以為您服務的嗎？
 B  我只是隨意看看。這張桌子是紅木製成的嗎？
 A  是的，沒錯。先生，您眼力真好。雖然它很舊了，但它真的是很優質的手工雕刻傢俱。
 B  它固然很好，但太貴了。
 A  那給像您這樣的鑑賞家八折優惠怎麼樣呢？
