时间：2019-02-07 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Jessie: Where are you going?
Masa: I’m going to stand in line to get one of the first iDopes. They go on sale this morning at 9 a.m.
Jessie: Why don’t you just wait a couple of days when there’ll be no line?
Masa: I’m sure they’re going to sell out, and plus, I’m going to buy an extra one so I can resell it.
Jessie: You’re going to resell it? Oh, you mean like scalping tickets.
Masa: You got it. I can put a markup 1 on it and make a nice little profit.
Jessie: You mean you’re going to jack 2 up the price.
Masa: I’m not gouging 3 anybody. I’m just putting a little premium 4 on a product that’s in demand.
Jessie: But what if they don’t sell out? Won’t you be stuck with an extra iDope?
Masa: I won’t have any problems unloading it. Trust me, this is a simple case of supply and demand. I’ve got the supply and there’s a big demand. Hey, where are you going?
Jessie: I’m going with you. You’re not the only one in this house who wants to earn a little extra dough 5.
Masa: I didn’t say you could go with me.
Jessie: Why can’t I?
Masa: Because then I’d be helping 6 you to junk up the market. And that would be shooting myself in the foot.
