第7章 逛街购物

Shopping is often equated with women,although men waste their fair share of money at tHe"store.Shopping is usually when one visits a store and browses,looking at different products before deciding what to buy.The quick act of going in,grabbing what you need,and getting out,is not real shopping.Shopping can be quite time consuming.

虽然男人通常也花大笔的钱购物,但购物通常跟女性相连。购物通常是在我们决定要购买什么之前在商店里浏览和观看不同的产品的过程。迅速地走进商店,买了你所需要的东西然后走出来,这其实不是真正的购物。购物可能会很费时间。

逛街购物小常识

顾客走进商店时,售货员通常会说Can I help you?这句惯用语就相当它字面上的意思:“我可以帮忙吗?”如果只是想随便逛逛,不妨客气地告诉售货员I"m just looking.(我只是随便看看。)体贴的售货员就不会再缠着顾客推销商品了。

如果你已经有购物的打算,也可以清楚地告诉售货员自己的喜好(preferences)和预算(budget),请他们提供建议(suggestions)并推荐(recommend)合适的商品。如果你对商品不满意,不打算购买,就告诉售货员I"ll pass this time(我这次不买),或是I"ll think about it(我再考虑考虑)。最后别忘了向售货员道谢,说声Thank you for helping(谢谢你帮忙)。

打折文化

在美国的大型商场,如超市、百货公司和批发市场(wholesale market)里,商品大多是不讲价,所以服务人员只负责介绍商品和收款就可以了。如果是跳蚤市场(flea market)、折扣商店或规模较小的个人商店,才有较多讲价(bargain)的机会。

如果顾客主动要求介绍商品,售货员通常会从最畅销的商品开始介绍,例如:This has been our best seller for two months(这个产品已经蝉联两个月的销售冠军了),或是This one is a must have(这个一定要买)。如果顾客嫌贵,要讲价,就可以说The price is too steep、expensive.(太贵了。)而售货员为了顺利成交,可能会稍稍让步:I"ll give you a 20% discount.(我给你打个八折好了。)然后顺利成交,皆大欢喜。

发票

所谓的“发票”,指的是消费者购物时商家开的“统一发票”,或是厂商开立的“收据”。在美国,这两种单据有不同的说法。

美国并没有“统一发票”,但开“购物收据”(receipt)则是必需的程序。所以,如果问美国人“你买牛奶有没有拿收据?”,应该这么说:Did you get the receipt for the milk?

如果是厂商开立的进、出货发票,则叫做invoice;这在会计学中是常用的词,也常出现在商业文件上。

退换小文化

如果商品有瑕疵(defects),顾客会要求“退货”(return)或“换货”(exchange)。一般美国商店的做法是在商品售出后某个期限内包换包退,而且绝不为难顾客,也就是所谓的“no questions asked”policy。有礼貌的还会补上一句:We are very sorry for the inconvenience.(我们很抱歉给您带来不便。)
