原文及翻譯
Every Saturday morning in our part of the world, except in winter, many people drive around the city looking for yard sales. Yard sales, or garage sales, often take place in the driveway of someone's home, or perhaps the front lawn. The homeowners take out all the stuff they don't want and arrange it in front of their house.
在我們這個(gè)地區(qū)，除了冬天，每個(gè)周六早上，許多人都會(huì)開車在城里轉(zhuǎn)悠，尋找庭院拍賣。庭院拍賣，或車庫拍賣，通常發(fā)生在某人家的車道上，或者可能是前草坪上。房主把他們不想要的東西都拿出來，擺在房子前面。
Usually, they put a price tag on items. People driving by will stop to see if there's anything they want. Many people spend every Saturday morning shopping at yard sales. If they find that they have bought too many things, then they have a yard sale of their own.
通常，他們會(huì)給物品貼上價(jià)格標(biāo)簽。路過的人會(huì)停下來看看是否有他們想要的東西。許多人每個(gè)周六早上都會(huì)在庭院拍賣會(huì)上購物。如果他們發(fā)現(xiàn)買了太多東西，他們就會(huì)自己舉辦庭院拍賣會(huì)。
Some of the shoppers are dealers who buy things for resale. Sometimes they resell them at their own yard sales, but some dealers are professionals who run antique stores, used bookshops, flea markets, or used furniture and appliance stores.
有些購物者是買東西轉(zhuǎn)售的經(jīng)銷商。有時(shí)他們?cè)谧约旱耐ピ号馁u會(huì)上轉(zhuǎn)售，但有些經(jīng)銷商是經(jīng)營(yíng)古董店、二手書店、跳蚤市場(chǎng)或二手家具和電器店的專業(yè)人士。
Usually, the dealers will try to get to the yard sale before anyone else, that way they have the best selection. Often, they'll try to buy items for less than what the price tag says. The cheaper they can buy the item, the more profit they can make when they resell it. Their motto is "buy low, sell high."
通常，經(jīng)銷商會(huì)試圖先于其他人到達(dá)庭院拍賣會(huì)，這樣他們就有最好的選擇。通常，他們會(huì)試圖以低于標(biāo)價(jià)的價(jià)格購買物品。他們買入的價(jià)格越便宜，轉(zhuǎn)售時(shí)獲得的利潤(rùn)就越大。他們的座右銘是“低買高賣”。
