   感恩节过去后美国人民马上就要投身买买买啦!Black Friday相当于美国版的双十一,今天Jenny和Spencer要来和大家聊聊黑五的由来。


  “Black Friday”的由来
  什么时候?
  Black Friday是感恩节后的那个星期五
  The Friday after Thanksgiving (4th Thursday of November)
  It has been regarded as the beginning of the country's Christmas shopping season since 1952. 从1952年起,它就是圣诞购物季的序幕(从这一天开始,人们会开始为圣诞节采买。)
  为什么叫“黑色”星期五?
  1) Heavy traffic: 有一种说法是感恩节大家都上街买东西,黑压压一片汽车。
  2) Black Friday is the day when retailers 1 finally begin to turn a profit for the year: 还有一种说法是在那天零售商们终于扭亏为盈(终于不再是赤字了)
  In the red: 赤字、亏损
  “跳楼价”英语怎么说?
  除了常规的“打折”,英语中也有“跳楼价”这样的夸张说法:
  Sale (not “sales”):促销打折
  Deals: 促销
  Bargains:特价
  Discounts: 折扣
  Doorbuster deals: 跳楼价
  Steals: 亏本价
  Haggle 2:讨价还价
  黑色星期五 美国人的双十一
  “黑五”不要急着出手!
  随着网络的发达,Cyber Monday也成了买买买好时机
  Shop till you drop:买到手软
  Cyber Monday:网购星期一,更像我们的双十一。
  It's the Monday after Black Friday
  Started in 2005 by online retailers
  美国的网购主力就是:
  Amazon: 亚马逊
  "The everything store": 亚马逊号称什么货都有卖
  不但什么货都有卖,而且亚马逊的服务也有无限想象力:
  Amazon Key: a service that allows delivery people to enter your home. 最近亚马逊推出的“Amazon Key”服务,能让快递员直接打开你家门!你能接受吗?
  “快递”英语怎么说?
  网购那么多,快递很需要。快递英语说法也挺多:
  Delivery: 这个最常用
  Shipping 3: 运输、快递
  Courier: 比较正式,注意发音:['k?r??]。
  Kuaidi: 中国网购太发达,所以很多在中国的外国人都会直接用kuaidi的拼音,可能将来也会变成一个英语外来词。

零售商,零售店( retailer的名词复数 )
  • High street retailers reported a marked increase in sales before Christmas. 商业街的零售商报告说圣诞节前销售量显著提高。
  • Retailers have a statutory duty to provide goods suitable for their purpose. 零售商有为他们提供符合要求的货品的法定义务。
vi.讨价还价,争论不休
  • In many countries you have to haggle before you buy anything.在许多国家里买东西之前都得讨价还价。
  • If you haggle over the price,they might give you discount.你讲讲价,他们可能会把价钱降低。
n.船运(发货,运输,乘船)
  • We struck a bargain with an American shipping firm.我们和一家美国船运公司谈成了一笔生意。
  • There's a shipping charge of £5 added to the price.价格之外另加五英镑运输费。
