　　第一题

　　What kind of shopsallow bargaining with the shop owner?

　　这道题问我们什么样的店铺是可以跟店主讨价还价的，很明显是那种自主经营的小店，不是什么大品牌，店员本身也是老板。

　　讨论

　　The shop where we can bargain is usually not a chained shop that has a relatively famous label like Zara or Starbucks. We can bargain in some smallshops that are located in a community like clothes shops or a fruit shop. Also, in some special department stores where the shop assistants are usually the owners of the business, bargaining is allowed and quite necessary because the price they ask for is usually much higher than the real cost of the product. For example, in such places, the price tag on a backpack could be 150, we can buy it for 35 in the end after bargaining.

　　我们可以讨价还价的店铺一定不是有名气的品牌连锁店，比如Zara或星巴克。我们可以在一些小区附近的服装店或水果店讲价。也有一些商城，里面的店员一般也是老板，这种地方讨价还价很必要，因为他们会要价很高。比如说，有些地方，一个背包标价150，我们讲价之后，35就能买下来。

　　第二题

　　How do people inChina bargain?

　　中国人如何讨价还价？这项技能啊，男女老少水平参差不齐，我们可以举例来说明。

　　讨论

　　Well, the ones who are good at bargaining are usually very brave. For example, if a dress cost 70 yuan, a middle-aged lady may want to take it by payingonly 20 yuan. In the beginning, the shop owner would pretend to beangry and says things like: It’s impossible, for this quality, the price I ask is reasonable. At this time, we can pretend to leave. In many situations, the owner would ask us to come back and argue more.However, as long as we are asked to be back, it means that we can definitely buy it with 20 yuan.

　　擅长讲价的人胆子都比较大。比如，一条裙子卖70，一个中年大妈可能花20就拿下了。一开始，店主可能会假装不开心，说：不行的，这质量，我这个要价很合理的。这个时候，如果我们假装离开，一般店主都会再把我们叫回去商量商量。其实，只要我们被叫了回去，我们就赢了，20拿下不成问题。
