你想买一个新手机吗? 或者一台新电脑? 在商店里,怎么问价格? 怎么说你想要什么? 今天,我们会去电子产品店。 听完这一集,你就能自信地问出‘这个多少钱?’

早上好!我今天要去电子产品店。 我的旧手机坏了,所以我想买一个新手机。 商店很大,有很多东西。 哇,好多电脑! 屏幕都很大。 我走进去,看见一个服务员。 他很忙。 我等了一会儿,然后说:“你好,我想买一个手机。” 他点点头,指着一排手机。 有黑色的,有白色的,还有红色的。 我拿起一个黑色的手机,它看起来很不错,手感也很好。 我问他:“这个手机多少钱?” 它的价格是多少? 他的回答让我有点吃惊,我需要好好考虑一下。

Let's pause our story for a moment and look at some useful phrases from what we just heard.

  • 买 (mǎi) — to buy, 我想买一个手机。
  • 手机 (shǒujī) — mobile phone, 我的旧手机坏了。
  • 电脑 (diànnǎo) — computer, 哇,好多电脑!
  • 多少钱 (duōshǎo qián) — how much money, 这个手机多少钱?
  • 这个 (zhège) — this one, 我拿起一个黑色的手机。
  • 商店 (shāngdiàn) — shop/store, 我今天要去电子产品店。, 好,现在我们回到故事里,看看接下来发生了什么。

服务员说那个手机很贵。 我想,‘嗯,有点太贵了。’ 我问他:“有没有便宜一点的手机?” 他指了指旁边一个白色的手机,说:“这个很新,现在有活动,所以比较便宜。” 我仔细看了看,这个白色的手机大小合适,也很漂亮。 我问他:“这个手机是什么颜色?” 他说:“白色。” 我又问了几个关于功能的问题。 他很有耐心。 我决定买这个白色的手机。 在中国,买东西的时候,问问有没有“优惠”是很常见的。 最后,我用手机付钱,然后开心地离开了商店。 今天,我买到了一个非常满意的手机!
