这个碗很漂亮,但是多少钱呢?你喜欢老东西吗?在古玩市场,你会看到很多有趣的东西。今天我们会学习怎么问价格,怎么说你喜欢什么。下次你在市场,你就可以用中文交流了!

今天天气很好,我去了古玩市场。市场里有很多人,很热闹。我看到很多老东西,都很特别。有旧书,有小碗,还有一些漂亮的画。我走来走去,看看这个,看看那个。一个蓝色的花瓶很漂亮,我非常喜欢它。旁边有一个小盒子,也很旧,很有意思。我问店主:“你好,这个花瓶多少钱?” 店主看着我,笑了笑。我又指了指那个小盒子,问:“这个呢?这个也很好看。” 我心里想,希望不要太贵。我想买一些特别的东西。

Let's pause our story for a moment to look at some useful words and phrases from that scene.

  • 古玩市场 — antique market, 我去了古玩市场。
  • 东西 — thing/things, 市场里有很多老东西。
  • 漂亮 — beautiful, 这个花瓶很漂亮。
  • 喜欢 — to like, 我非常喜欢它。
  • 多少钱 — how much money/how much, 这个花瓶多少钱?
  • 好看 — good-looking/pretty, 这个也很好看。, 现在,我们继续听故事,看看我最后买了什么。

店主说:“花瓶三百块。小盒子一百五十块。” 我一听,觉得花瓶有点太贵了。我问店主:“可以便宜一点吗?三百块有点贵。” 在中国市场,讲价是很常见的。店主想了想,说:“花瓶两百五十块,小盒子一百块,怎么样?” 我很高兴。两百五十块可以买花瓶,一百块可以买小盒子。我最后决定买那个花瓶。我说:“好的,谢谢!” 付了钱,我拿着花瓶开心地回家了。今天我买到了一个我很喜欢的东西,我很满意。
