情景对话
　　A: Good morning, what can I do for you? 　　B: I'm looking for a handbag. How much is it? 　　A:¥450. It's a quite fancy one made of alligator skin. It closes all the way around with a zipper. 　　B: Oh, dear. It's too expensive. Can you give me a better price? 　　A: Your discount is already included. Normally we charge Y500, but now we can giveyou a special price. This is our sale period. It's a real bargain(很划算). 　　B: It's still too much. Can't you make it any cheaper than that? 　　A: Sorry, but this is the rock bottom price(低价格)and it's unable to cut any further. 　　B: I see. Can I pay with my credit card directly? 　　A: I'm afraid you can't. You're welcome to pay in cash.
　　A:早上好，有什么能为您效劳的吗? 　　B:我正在找一个手提包。这个多少钱? 　　A: 450元。这个特别好，是用鳄鱼皮做的。全部用拉链开关。 　　B:哦，太贵了。能降些价吗? 　　A:己经降价了，平常我们要500元，现在正降价出售，己经给您优惠了。这真是一个很便宜的价格。 　　B:价格还是太贵了，就不能多降点吗? 　　A:抱歉，这是低价格，无法进一步降价。 　　B:噢，明白了。我能直接用信用卡支付吗? 　　A:恐怕不行，还是用现金吧。
