学习英语对话教您如何用英语说“团购”？

KAT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。今天学习英语对话是吴琼要问的：团购。

WQ: KAT 我这里有一些螃蟹跟大虾，你想要么？

KAT: Of course! I love sea food!

WQ: 去我家拿吧! 全给你，不要钱!

KAT: Wow...Wuqiong, that's really nice of you! Are you sure you don't want them? 

WQ: 你不晓得，这些都是我团购买来的，太多了，吃不了! 我还有餐券，电影票，健身卡，都是团购来的，好多都快到期了，我又没时间去。对了，“团购”在美语里怎么说呢？（注意，咱们学习英语对话中的小短语即将出现哦）

KAT: It's called "group buying." It is a very popular marketing gimmick now. A lot of my friends back in the U.S. are just as obsessed with group buying as you are! 

WQ: 呵呵，我确切是个“团购控”! 不外你刚才说 Group buying is a marketing gimmick, 什么是gimmick？

KAT: Gimmick, g-i-m-m-i-c-k, gimmick, 是把戏，学习英语的网站，噱头。I call group buying a gimmick because it's used by retailers to attract more people to buy products of mediocre quality and popularity.

WQ: 你说得有情理。团购是个促销的花招，个别推出团购的都是小店，新店，团购的东西也不是什么名牌热点货。I don't think I can ever get a discount on LV purses through group buying. 

KAT: That's right. In that sense, group buying is just another form of price war. 

WQ: Price war? 价钱战？

KAT: 对。People use group buying because they want the discount. They want to buy things at a lower price. 

WQ: 对，切实这跟返券、打折差不久，都是商家在打价格战。不过，我也不傻，等他们把价格升上去了，我就不买了，就去找新的团购货!

KAT: Haha, that's exactly how you became a group buying maniac! 好了，说说你今天从学习英语对话材料中都学了什么吧!

WQ: 第一：团购是group buying

第二：花招，噱头是gimmick;

第三：价格战是price war.
