这里有很多新鲜的菜和水果。你想买什么?这个苹果很好看,那个西瓜很大。如果你想知道多少钱,你会怎么问?今天,我们一起学习在菜市场买东西。听完这集,你就能自信地问价格、买东西了!

早上好!今天天气真好。我决定去菜市场买些新鲜的菜。市场里人很多,很热闹。我看到很多绿色的青菜,还有红色的番茄。哇,这些水果看起来很漂亮,颜色真鲜艳!我想买一些苹果和香蕉。一个阿姨在卖草莓,她的草莓看起来很新鲜,红红的。我走过去,指着草莓,问她:“阿姨,这个草莓多少钱一斤?” 她笑了笑,告诉我价格是二十块钱。我觉得有点贵,但是它们真的很新鲜,味道一定很好。

Let's pause our story for a moment to look at some key phrases we just heard.

  • 买 (mǎi) — to buy, 我想买一个苹果。
  • 菜 (cài) — vegetables, 我喜欢吃中国菜。

  • 很新鲜 (hěn xīnxiān) — very fresh, 这些蔬菜很新鲜。, 好了,我们继续去市场看看!

我决定不买草莓了,因为我觉得太贵了。我走到另一个摊位,看到那里的橘子很便宜。我问:“这个橘子多少钱一公斤?” 摊主说:“八块钱。” 我说:“七块钱可以吗?” 摊主想了想,说:“好吧,给你七块钱。” 哈哈,我成功了!在菜市场,有时候可以稍微讲价,很有意思。我买了两个橘子,又买了一些土豆和胡萝卜。我的袋子满了,心里也很开心。我跟摊主说:“谢谢,再见!” 提着满满的菜回家,觉得很满足。今天在菜市场买东西真有趣!
