(2)Unit 6 英美购物文化

美国

在美国商场购物时需要的10句对话

1、Charge or debit？ (Credit or debit？) 　

　　Charge (Credit) 指的就是一般我们说的信用卡， 信用卡使用上很方便， 但若是没有收入又没有社会安全卡，是很难申请到信用卡的。 而我们的提款卡 (ATM 卡) 就是 debit， 它会从你的支票户头直接扣钱。 一般而言，只要去有刷卡的地方都会被问这一句， 刚来美国的人常常对这句话感到莫名奇妙，不知道这句话到底在问什么， 其实只要了解什么是 charge 什么是 debit， 这句话就不难了解， 视你是使用信用卡还是 ATM 卡而回答。 使用信用卡就说 charge， 使用 ATM 卡就答 debit。

2、Cash back？

　　是否要找回现金？

　　在美国跨行提款的手续费是 $1.5， cash back 就是说假设你买 10 块的东西， 但刷卡时你可以刷 30 元， 剩下的 20元他会拿现金 20 块找你，如此出门就不必带著大笔的现金， 又不必负担高额的提款手续费。 唯一缺点是有金额限制， 有些店最多可 cash back $50， 有些店只能 cash back $20。 一般的情形是只有 ATM 卡才能 cash back 的， 一般的信用卡是不行的， 但是有些特别的信用卡， 如 Discover， 也有提供 cash back 的功能。 他的优点在于不受发卡银行提款机的限制，我在亚特兰大拿的 ATM 卡到波士顿一样可以 cash back，而且完全不收手续费， 请大家多加利用。

3、How are you going to pay？

　　你要怎么付款？

这句话跟 Charge or debit 这句话很像， 问的就是你要用什么方式付款如信用卡(credit card) 提款卡 (debit card) 或是现金 (cash) 来付账。

4、Double coupon。

　　双重折价卷。

　　所谓的 coupon， 就是由制造商所发行的一种折价卷， 如 Save 50c 的 coupon (折价卷)可以让你在结账时少付 50c， 然后再由这些商店拿著这些 coupon 去跟制造商换钱。

　　那什么是 double coupon 呢？ 就是在美国有一家很有名叫 Kroger 的 grocery store。 为了促销， 所推行的一种政策。他们宣称拿著 50c 的 coupon 去他们的店里买东西，就可以折价 1 元， 折价的金额足足多了一倍。 多余的这 50c 是 Kroger 给顾客的优惠。但是也有一些限制， 例如，每张 coupon 的面额不得超过 75c， 而且对同样一个商品， double coupon 只能使用一次。

5、Bring your receipt to the customer service， and they will refund you。

　　把你的收据拿给顾客服务部， 他们就会退钱给你。

　　美国是个很重视消费者权益的国家， 所以几乎每个商家， 都一定会有一个专门的 customer service 柜台。 有任何的问题去找他们， 他们多半会给你满意的答覆。 我是觉得去超市买东西， 他们算错钱的比例蛮高的， 只要发现收据上有任何问题，就可以拿著收据去 customer service 要求退钱 (refund)。

6、I want to take the raincheck for the eggs。

　　我要拿一张鸡蛋的 raincheck。

　　有时候某样商品大特价， 该样商品很快地就被抢购一空了。但是这样特价品卖完了没关系， 你可以去跟他们领一张 raincheck。 等到过一段时间后 (也许等到该样商品特价结束了) 你还是可以用特价时的价钱去购买该样商品。 这样的制度真的让人觉得很贴心。

　　所谓的 raincheck 指的是球赛若因雨而延赛， 则球迷可以把入场券换成 raincheck，先保留这张票的权利， 以便日后可以补看球赛。

7、 I am sorry you are on the Cash Only Lane.

　　我很抱歉你现在是在只收现金的结账道上。

　　Cash Only 顾名思义就是只收现金， 其它的什么信用卡， 支票都一律不收。 通常是商家为了增快结账的速度所以才会设 Cash Only Lane。此外还有很多不同的 lane， 例如 Express Lane， 可能是只受理少于十样商品的顾客， 总之， 要结账前先看清标示就不会吃大亏。

8、The price will go down。

　　这价钱将会降低。

　　Go down 跟 go up 很好用， 当你不知道用什么动词，如 increase 或 surge， 就用 goes up。比如作实验时浓度上升， 这个上升你可以说 increase，但也可以说， “The concentration goes up。”

　　另外类似的口语讲法， 你可以用 rise 跟 drop 来代表 go up 和 go down。 例如 “The price will drop。”

9、We have a clearance sale today。

　　我们今天清仓大拍卖。

　　Clearance sale 算是固定的用法， 就是所谓的清仓大拍卖。 另外， 我们去店里如果要找这些拍卖的商品，我们可以问店员说， “Where can I find the clearance items？” 所谓的 clearance item 就是清仓货， 零码货的意思， 或是 odd sizes 也代表零码货的意思。

10、Can you give me the invoice？

　　能不能给我一张发票？

　　在美国买东西一般都只给收据 receipt。只有在买大件的东西， 如汽车保险时， 他们才会给你所谓的发票 (invoice)。

英国

英国大多数商店开门时间是周二至周六，星期天关门。英国购物有两个习惯：一是商店中不讲价，标多少钱就卖多少钱；二是顾客自觉排队，不喜欢有人插队。许多商店的备用购物袋是要收费的。大多数自选商店都提供篮子供顾客在店内使用，付款后，再把所购东西装在自带购物袋中。如果你忘记退还商店的篮子或未付款就走，可能会被视为偷东西，商店甚至可能召来警察，如果你要买昂贵物品，可以参考一下商场购物杂志，上面有不同厂家、产品价格、质量方面的比较。在大超市购物，您不用担心质量和价格有什么欺诈，在付款后，收款机会打印出一张详细的收据，内容包括：商场名称，当天的值班经理的名字、售货员姓名、购货种类、数量、价格、付款方式、找零以及商场地址、电话号码，如发现什么问题，可以找商场解决。

英国的大多数商店星期天关门，但星期一到星期六则全天营业。很多城镇和乡村在一个星期当中还会停业半天，大约从13点开始，但在另一个晚上可能会继续营业到晚一些时候。

在英国有一些购物习惯与我们国家的做法不同。在商店里没有讨价还价的习惯；顾客需要按商品的标价付款。英国人著名的排队习惯在购物时尤其适用。你可能并不总会看到一个队，但等候的人们要依次轮流购物。

在自助商店和街头市场，记住带上你自己的购物袋，因为很多商店的手提购物袋是要收费的。不过，在自助商店里，永远要把商品首先放在商店提供的铁丝篮子里，付了款之后才把商品放到你自己的袋子里。如果你忘记这一条而把商品直接放进自己的袋子里而没有付款就离开，你可能会被指控为“入店行窃”，这可能会导致被警方控告犯有盗窃罪。不幸的是，在英国的一些地方，“入店行窃”是一种相当普遍的盗窃方式，因此很多商店装有电子检测设备，并在起诉方面采取一种强硬政策。

如果你打算购买昂贵的家用物品，你可以在公共图书馆查阅一下“Which”这份杂志。这份杂志对各个厂家产品的价钱和质量做出比较。

近年来，英国已经逐步制定了许多法律来保护消费者的权利。举例说，假如你能出示收据，店家必须调换有毛病的商品，所以一定要把收据和质量保证书保存好，尤其是购买大件物品的收据和质量保证书。

据说150多年以前拿破仑一世曾经说过，英国是个小店主之国；今天，英国有了各种各样的商店，这当然是一个优点。这些商店从国际闻名的百货商场到价格低廉得多的地方性街头市场都有。

大多数地区有一些过去常被叫做“街头店铺”的商店为当地居民服务。这些商店的营业时间常常比主要街道上的商店要长。其略高的价格通常由其提供的方便做补偿。还有一些廉价商店专营-比如说-电器；在这些商店里，你可能会发现其价格大大低于主要街道上的正规商店。

总的来说，超级市场和街头市场的新鲜水果和蔬菜特别好；在很多地方，它们有种类繁多的进口食品，这些进口食品可能会使你想起自己的家乡！还有各种“方便”食品，这些食品已经煮熟，无须怎么加工（即可食用），对于来去匆匆的人们很有必要。

VAT， 即增值税，是政府征收的一种购买税，按价格的15%加入到很多商品和大多数服务项目中去。除非另有说明，大多数标价已经包括税款；不过购买大件商品时核对一下还是明智之举，作为外国游客，你购买某些大件商品也许不必付增值税。

购买商品付款可以用现金，用带有银行保证卡的英国银行卡的英国银行账户的支票，或者用英镑旅行支票，通常都不会有问题。如果商店展示有某种信用卡的标记，该商店就会接受该种信用卡。

Supplements: Brief Introduction of World Expo

World Expositions are galleries of human inspirations and thoughts. Since 1851 when the Great Exhibition of Industries of All Nations was held in London, the World Expositions have attained increasing prominence as grand events for economic, scientific, technological and cultural exchanges, serving as an important platform for displaying historical experience, exchanging innovative ideas, demonstrating esprit de corps（团体精神） and looking to the future.

The significance of Shanghai Expo

With a long civilization, China favors international exchange and loves world peace. China owes its successful bid for the World Exposition in 2010 to the international community's support for and confidence in its reform and opening-up. The Exposition will be the first registered World Exposition in a developing country, which gives expression to the expectations the world's people place on China's future development.

Chinese people present to the world a successful, splendid and unforgettable exposition.

The theme of Shanghai EXPO

Expo 2010 Shanghai China will be a great event to explore the full potential of urban life in the 21st century and a significant period in urban evolution. Fifty-five percent of the world population is expected to live in cities by the year 2010. The prospect of future urban life, a subject of global interest, concerns all nations, developed or less developed, and their people. Being the first World Exposition on the theme of city, Exposition 2010 will attract governments and people from across the world, focusing on the theme "Better City, Better Life." For its 184 days, participants will display urban civilisation to the full extent, exchange their experiences of urban development, disseminate advanced notions on cities and explore new approaches to human habitat, lifestyle and working conditions in the new century. They will learn how to create an eco-friendly society and maintain the sustainable development of human beings.

Expo 2010 Shanghai China will centre on innovation and interaction. Innovation is the soul, while cultural interaction is an important mission of the World Expositions. In the new era, Expo 2010 Shanghai China will contribute to human-centered development, scientific and technological innovation, cultural diversity and win-win cooperation for a better future, thus composing a melody with the key notes of highlighting innovation and interaction in the new century.

Haibao-------- mascot of Shanghai Expo

The name of the mascot of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is Hai Bao, which means the treasure of the sea. The name of Hai Bao is easy to remember, echoes with the color of its body and is a typical lucky name in Chinese tradition. Hai Bao is the good well ambassador of Shanghai Expo. He is embracing friends from all over the world with his arms and confident smile

Travelling

1. Do you like travelling? List the advantages of travelling:

A. Travelling represents a kind of popular and pleasant activity that combine sightseeing, recreation and outdoor exercise, through which we can get relief from tense atmosphere and pressure in our daily life. The fresh air and fascinating scenery will refresh us and you will find you are dripped into energy essential to brave the ordeal and unknown future.

B. Travelling has demonstrated the happy wish of the people for more knowledge, varied experience. In ancient times, ancient thinkers raised the idea of “appreciating the landscape through sightseeing” and “travel ten thousand li and read ten thousand books”, which shows they found pleasure in enriching themselves mentally and physically through travelling over famous mountains and rivers. In modern times, in the process of travelling we can enlarge our scope of knowledge and promote the cultural exchange as well as experiencing the wonder of our world.

2. Introduce the resort that impressed you most

Useful words and phrases:

China, an old civilization with youthful vigor and a vast land of charm, beauty, and varied national customs, is one of the world’s most attractive and exciting countries for tourists.

Xi’an is famous for being the starting point of silk road; the life-size terracotta warriors and horses excavated from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. The first emperor of the Qin dynasty; Suzhou is well known for its garden, and Hangzhou, for the beautiful west lake; both cities are known to Chinese as “paradise on earth”

Guilin on the bank of the Li River is said to have the most spectacular landscape in China, and boating downstream to Yangshuo is the most fascinating part of the tour. Beijing, the capital of China, is most often the tourists’ first choice when they visited China. Kunming in southwest China is known for its “year-round” spring weather, and Harbin in north is good for sightseeing in January and February: its ice festival has appeal to those who have never seen snow.

Someplace is blessed with a climate/forest with abundant sunshine and rainfall/ thick snow

Someplace with enchanting scenery and splendid history/ strong ethnic customs attracts tourists

Some place encompasses many scenic spots with various distinguished features like ……..

3. How to ensure safety when travelling (revelation of HK tourists killed in Philippine)

A: it is necessary for us to make a survey of the place you are going to visit through various measures available to ensure safety. The aspect of safety consists of natural environment and social security.

Section Grammar----Present participle and past participle as attributives

English verbs have two participles:

called variously the present, active, imperfect, or progressive participle, it is identical in form to the gerund; the term present participle is sometimes used to include the gerund. The term gerund-participle is also used.

called variously the past, passive, or perfect participle, it is usually identical to the verb's preterite (past tense) form, though in irregular verbs the two usually differ.

Examples of participle formation include:

The present participle in English is active. It has the following uses:

forming the progressive aspect: Jim was sleeping.

modifying a noun, with active sense: Let sleeping dogs lie.

modifying a verb or sentence: Broadly speaking, the project was successful.

The present participle in English has the same form as the gerund, but the gerund acts as a noun rather than a verb or a modifier. The word sleeping in your job description does not include sleeping is a gerund and not a present participle.

The past participle has both active and passive uses:

forming the perfect aspect: The chicken has eaten.

forming the passive voice: The chicken was eaten.

modifying a noun, with active sense: our fallen comrades

modifying a noun, with passive sense: the attached files

modifying a verb or sentence, with passive sense: Seen from this perspective, the problem presents no easy solution.

As noun-modifiers, participles usually precede the noun (like adjectives), but in many cases they can or must follow it:

The visiting dignitaries devoured the baked apples.

Please bring all the documents required.
