乘客A: Hi, Can you take us to Old Town, there and back?
嗨,你能載我們?nèi)ld Town嗎?往返。
司機(jī)B: Yeah, Old Town, sure. I can do it for $50.
嗯,Old Town, 可以的。50美元就行。
技巧1:詢問路程
對(duì)話中乘客A詢問時(shí),用到的這個(gè)句式:
Can you take us to…
你能帶我們?nèi)?hellip;
舉兩個(gè)例子:
① Can you take us to the Red Wood Hotel on Central Street?
你能帶我們?nèi)ブ醒氪蠼稚系募t樹林酒店嗎?
② Can you take us to King Crab's Steakhouse? Here it is on the map.
你能帶我們?nèi)サ弁跣放E硼^嗎?這是它在地圖上的位置。
說明了我們的目的地后,如果有”往返“的行程,還要詢問一下司機(jī)。
There and back
往返,來回
舉兩個(gè)例子:
① The ATM's not that far from the motel. It's about 5minutes there and back.
那個(gè)自動(dòng)取款機(jī)離汽車旅館不太遠(yuǎn)。來回就5分鐘。
② It'll be $20 for a ride there and back. It's not too expensive.
往返20美金。不算太貴。
司機(jī)確認(rèn)了我們的目的地后,表示價(jià)格為50美金。接下來就是我們的表演時(shí)間啦~
乘客A: $50. That's way too much. It's not even that far from here.
50美元?這太貴了。從這里過去都不遠(yuǎn)。
司機(jī)B: Yeah, but I'm going to have to wait for you. That'll cost me other fares.
是的,但我還得等你。別人的單我就不能接了。
技巧2:嫌貴,并找出理由
對(duì)話中乘客A所說的,就是教科書一般的講價(jià):
嫌貴:$50. That's way too much. 50美元?這太貴了。
理由:It's not even that far from here. 從這里過去都不遠(yuǎn)。
如何通過語言表達(dá)”嫌貴“呢?
Way too much
太多了,太貴了
不管對(duì)方開價(jià)多少,第一反應(yīng)一定要嫌貴!
再配上你戲精一般驚恐的小眼神兒,能講多少價(jià)全看演技了。
舉兩個(gè)例子:
① The tickets cost way too much. I can't afford to go on the trip.
這些票太貴了。我負(fù)擔(dān)不起這次旅行。
② That's way too much for renting a car. Let's find a cheaper place.
這對(duì)租車來說太貴了。我們找個(gè)便宜點(diǎn)的地方吧。
對(duì)于我們兇悍的講價(jià),司機(jī)也有點(diǎn)小委屈,他說:因?yàn)槭峭?,所以中間等我們的時(shí)候,That'll cost me other fares. 別人的單就不能接了。
像句中cost這種簡單的詞,我們要學(xué)會(huì)如何使用。
Cost
花費(fèi)
舉兩個(gè)例子:
① How much does a souvenir shot glass cost?
一個(gè)紀(jì)念小酒杯多少錢?
② How much does a picture cost?
一幅畫多少錢?
