对话节选

先看看这个场景说了什么

  1. 对话 1

    That salad looks good. I nearly put berries in mine, but the price at Woolies made me change my mind.

    你的沙拉看起来不错。我本来也差点放莓果进去,但 Woolies 的价格让我改主意了。

    中文提示

    I know, fruit has been ridiculously expensive. I only buy it on special now, otherwise the weekly shop gets too high.

    我懂,最近水果贵得离谱。我现在只买打折的,不然一周菜钱太高。

  2. 对话 2

    Same here. Milk, eggs, and bread used to feel basic, but even those add up now.

    我也是。牛奶、鸡蛋和面包以前觉得都是基础食品,但现在连这些加起来也不少。

    中文提示

    Exactly. Yesterday I only picked up a few things and it still came to almost forty dollars.

    对,我昨天只是买了几样东西,就花了快四十澳元。

  3. 对话 3

    I've started checking the unit price instead of the big sticker price. It saves me from buying fake bargains.

    我现在开始看单位价格,不只看大标签上的价格。这样能避免买到看似便宜其实不划算的东西。

    中文提示

    That's a good idea. I sometimes see a yellow tag and just assume it's cheaper.

    这个办法好。我有时候看到黄色标签就以为一定便宜。
