Cindy: Sis, why did you ask me to come to this bargain market? It's so crowded, and you can't find anything that you really want.
Shirley: You just don't get it. Looking for bargains can be really interesting.
Cindy: Are you serious? How can that be?
Shirley: Bargaining is a game, or even a battle. You feel like a winner when you get a good price.
Cindy: Come on. You know, you can never really win. The salesperson 1 never loses. They make their living out of it.
Shirley: That's true. But I just love it. Come here!
Cindy: Oh, this silk carpet is really beautiful. Look at the pattern, and how delicate it is!
Shirley: You do have great taste. That's the most expensive stuff here.
Cindy: Really? Oh, this one. I like the cloisonné vase.
Shirley: Are you kidding me? I bought a same one last week. It's surprising that there is something we both like. Well, what do you think of these ceramic 2 cups?
Cindy: Come on. They look so cheap. Something else, please.
Shirley: What about this picture? I think Benjamin would like it.
Cindy: Don't underestimate his taste. I don't think he'd like it.
Shirley: Don't be so sure. He loves the vase I bought here last week.
Cindy: Yeah. Well, anyway, it's up to you. But I can tell that you come here often.
Shirley: Absolutely. That's why I can always get a good price.

辛迪: 姐姐,你为什么带我来这个廉价市场啊?这里这么拥挤,而且你也买不到什么你真正想要的东西。
雪莉: 你就是不明白。淘便宜的东西会非常有趣啊。
辛迪: 你说真的吗?不会吧?
雪莉: 讨价还价是一种游戏,甚至是一场“争战”。当你得到一个好的价格的时候,你会感觉像一个赢家。
辛迪: 拜托。你知道,你永远不会真正胜利的。卖家是永远不会输的。他们靠它生活啊。
雪莉: 那是没错。可我就是喜欢啊。过来这边!
辛迪: 哦,这块丝织地毯真漂亮。看它的花色,做得多么细致啊!
雪莉: 你的眼光真不错。这是这里最贵的东西。
辛迪: 真的吗?嗳,这个。我喜欢这个陶瓷花瓶。
雪莉: 你没和我开玩笑吧?我上周买了个一模一样的。真是惊奇啊,这里竟然有我们俩都喜欢的东西。这儿,你看这几个陶瓷茶杯怎么样?
辛迪: 拜托。它们看起来就很廉价。请挑点别的吧。
雪莉: 那这幅画呢?我觉得本杰明会喜欢它的。
辛迪: 别低估了他的品味。我觉得他不会喜欢它的。
雪莉: 别这么肯定。我上周买的一个花瓶他就很喜欢。
辛迪: 好吧。不论怎样,这是你的事啦。但是我敢说你真的是经常来这里。
雪莉: 当然了。这是为什么我总能得到一个优惠的价格啊。
