Yeah... Okay!
嗯... 好耶!
Hey! See you like that chair. It's only 35 dollars.
嘿!看來你很喜歡那張椅子。它只要 35 塊美金喔。
You spotted a one-of-a-kind must-have item, but you don't wanna pay full price. Looks like it's time to haggle.
你看到一件獨一無二的必買商品,可是你不想付原價。看來是時候殺價囉。
I'm gonna get you, you f****** salesman.
我一定會好好對付你,你這該死的銷售員。
Bad haggle. Don't be so aggressive. Remember, the salesman isn't your enemy, and haggling shouldn't be a competition. In a good haggle, both parties win, because they get a sale and you get what you want at a decent price.
不良殺價示範。別這麼咄咄逼人。記住,銷售員不是你的敵人,而殺價也不該是場競爭。在讓人滿意的殺價中,雙方都是贏家,因為他們成交一筆買賣而你用一個好價錢買到想要的東西。
What did you say?
你剛說什麼?
Huh! No...nothing. I'll give you...16 cents.
哈!沒...沒什麼。我會付給你...16 分錢。
Bad haggle. Your first offer should be lower than what you'd actually like to pay, but not ridiculously low. Shoot for two thirds of the original price, not less than half.
不良殺價示範。你最初提議的價格應該比你真正想付的還低,但不該低得太誇張。試著提原價的三分之二,不要低於半價。
Ha-ha, I mean 20 dollars.
哈哈,我是說二十塊美金啦。
Oh! Well, uh, you know, I can't go quite that low, but...we can maybe do 30.
喔!這個嘛,呃,你知道的,我沒辦法開到那麼低,不過...我們或許可以用三十塊美金的價格成交。
Hmm... Hmm... Hmm... Hmm....
嗯... 嗯... 嗯... 嗯...
Good haggle. Never immediately respond to an offer. No one likes an awkward silence, so thinking about an offer for a long time might cause the salesman to lower it even further.
優良殺價示範。絕不要馬上對店家報價做出回應。沒人喜歡尷尬的沉默,所以對店家的出價考慮很久可能會讓銷售員開出更低價。
Hmm...
嗯...
This thing is a real eyesore and my boss wants it out of here, so...we probably do, like, 25 bucks.
這東西真的很礙眼,我老闆想把它清出去,所以...我們大概可以用像是 25 塊美金成交。
Hmm...
嗯...
I'll even deliver it for free, and I'll throw in some stuff for you to get the smell out.
我甚至還能免費運送,然後我再額外送你東西來去味。
I'll take it!
我買了!
Good haggle. Extras like free delivery can be just as valuable as money.
優良殺價示範。像免費運送那樣的額外服務可能就和錢一樣划算。
So, what did we learn? Try to work with the salesman. Make a low but still reasonable offer. Always pause and think before responding to an offer. And most important, price isn't always everything. There are many paths to getting a great deal.
那麼,我們學到什麼呢?試著和銷售員合作。提出低廉但仍合理的價格。在回應店家報價前永遠要停下來思考一下。最重要的是,價格不總代表一切。有很多方法可以買到賺到。
