常用的英语口语对话之“宰人”

　　商家们特别喜欢宰那些不懂行的朋友，尤其是刚到中国的外国人。Jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国友人要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来求教她。今天常用的英语口语对话是方方要问的：宰人。

　　
JESSICA: 方方，Your new cell phone is so cool!

FF: 那是，这可是最新型的智能手机！

JESSICA: 这手机很贵吧？

FF: 商店里卖5000块呢！

JESSICA:啊？ That price gives me sticker shock.

FF: sticker shock? sticker, s-t-i-c-k-e-r, sticker, 是商品的价签，shock表示吃惊，sticker shock就是说看到价签上的价格，被吓到了，对过错？

JESSICA: That's correct.

FF: 说起来，那天我去商场里买手机，When I saw the price, I got major sticker shock. 那价钱让我大跌眼睛。这么贵，纯属宰人！ 对了，“宰人”在美语里怎么说呢？（注意，我们常用的英语口语对话要学习的核心词出现呀，您觉得该怎么说呢）

JESSICA: We use the word “rip-off”. r-i-p-o-f-f. If something gives you sticker shock, you can say “This is a rip-off”.

FF: This is a rip-off, 这是宰人价！

JESSICA: You can also say rip someone off.

FF: Rip someone off？我明白，就是“冲某人要高价，宰人一刀”。那我要是说“我被人宰了”，就是 I was ripped off，对错误？

JESSICA: Exactly! Fangfang, Don't you think you were kinda ripped off ? This phone is really pricey!

FF: There's no way I got ripped off! 这手机是网上买的，免费学习英语的网站，才1000块！

Jessica: Wow! That's a really good deal!

FF: 那是！ 哎？怎么回事？手机怎么不动了？Jessica 你看看，what's wrong with my phone?

Jessica: Let me see …The phone is dead. It's broken.

FF: 啊？坏了？我，我昨蠢才买的！

Jessica: It seems like you bought a shoddy phone. Shoddy is spelled s-h-o-d-d-y. If something is of poor quality, you say it's shoddy.

FF: Shoddy 就是形容品德低劣。嘿！ 气去世我了！ 买了个劣质品。

Jessica: You know what they say, Fang Fang, you got what you paid for.

FF: You got what you paid for? 便宜没好货！ Jessica, 你损我是吧？

Jessica: 哈哈，别负气了。
