　　情景劇

　　David: I’m trying to buy a good wristwatch.

　　Yang Shu: I can help you! You Americans don’t know how to bargain 討價還價with the shopkeeper. They will try to cheat 欺騙you

　　David: Thanks, Yang Shu. I trust you.

　　Yang: Here, this looks like a good place. [to shopkeeper] How much for this Rolex? Can you quote us a price報價?

　　Laoban: This is a great watch. Very high quality. Imported from Japan. 10,000 RMB.

　　David: 10,000 RMB? That’s ridiculous! It looks like a bootleg 盜版watch to me.

　　Yang: [to David] No, believe me, it’s not fake 假貨. I know about watches. Leave it to me. [to shopkeeper] Too high! The most we’ll pay is 4,000 RMB.

　　David: Wow, you really know how to haggle討價還價 with the shopkeepers, Yang Shu. I’m impressed.

　　Laoban: No, that’s too low! 6,000.

　　Yang: 4,500.

　　Laoban: 5,000, and that’s my rock-bottom price. 最底價

　　Yang: Okay, that’s a fair price. Wrap it up for us.

　　David: Thanks a lot, Yang Shu. I really appreciate it. We Americans are no good at negotiating with shop owners. Without you here, he would surely rip me off. 欺騙

　　Yang: Oh, David, think nothing of it! You’re a good friend, I’m glad to help.

　　Laoban: [giving them the wrapped-up watch] Okay, here it is. Thank you for your business.

　　Yang: You’re welcome, Uncle Zhang.

　　David: Uncle Zhang????

　　Yang: Oops…
