地道美语听力练习:和街头小贩讨价还价

Sean:Just look at the quality of that.

You won't find a finer one anywhere.

Patrice:It's nice, but it's more than I want to spend.

Sean:Okay, just for you, I'll knock off 10%.

What do you say?

Patrice:I think it's still too pricey.

I think I'll pass.

Sean:Wait! Don't be so hasty.

What you have there is a one-of-a-kind item.

You don't want to pass up something this special.

Patrice:I'll think about it…

Sean:How about if I throw in a second one for the same price, a two-for-one offer?

Patrice:I thought you said this was one-of-a-kind.

Sean:Did I? I meant to say that there aren't many out there like it.

I just happen to have two. How about it?

Patrice:I think I'll shop around first.

Sean:This offer is only good right now, so don't walk away.

Patrice:Like I said, I'll think about it…

Sean:All right. Name your price.

Make me a reasonable offer and I'll let you have it.

Patrice:How about 30% off?

Sean:That's highway robbery!

I'm just a street vendor trying to make a living here.

Patrice:Take it or leave it.

Sean:All right, you have a deal.

You drive a hard bargain. You wouldn't be looking for a job, would you?
