「買一送一」別說 Buy one send one!黑五購物英文這樣說

「買一送一」英文怎麼說?黑色星期五購物英文 on sale、price match | MJ英語 Daily English | 生活英語

黑色星期五一早在美國賣場排隊,看到想要的耳機,你問店員 “Does this have discount?”,又指著牌子說 “Buy one send one?”——店員愣了一下才聽懂。

「有打折嗎」英文說 Is this on sale?;「買一送一」是 Buy one, get one free;別家比較便宜想照價,就問 Do you price match?

💡 先搞懂:黑五購物,別直翻中文

中文的「有打折嗎」「可以照別家價錢嗎」「買一送一」,直翻成英文店員常常要想一下。英文有固定說法:問打折說 Is this on sale?,照別家價錢說 Do you price match?,買一送一說 Buy one, get one free。還有一個大陷阱:中文「打六折」,英文是 forty percent off(少付 40%),數字剛好相反。

台灣人最容易卡的雷:① Does this have discount? → Is this on sale?;② Can you same price? → Do you price match?;③ Buy one send one → Buy one, get one free

場景:黑色星期五早上六點,在洛杉磯念研究所的 Vivian 排了一個小時的隊,終於衝進電器賣場,店員 Jake 在門口招呼。


Jake

Good morning, and happy Black Friday! Wow, you got here early.

早安,黑色星期五快樂!哇,妳很早就來了。

Vivian

I’ve been waiting in line since five! I want these headphones. Does this have discount?

我從五點就在排隊了!我想要這副耳機。這有折扣嗎?(要說 Is this on sale?)

Jake

Is it on sale? It sure is. It’s forty percent off today. It’s one of our doorbusters.

有特價嗎?當然有,今天打六折,是我們的限量搶購商品之一。

Vivian

Forty percent off? Great! But what’s a doorbuster?

打六折?太好了!不過 doorbuster 是什麼?

Jake

It’s a really big deal that gets people in the door early. We only have a few, so they sell out fast.

就是超划算、讓大家一早衝進門的商品。數量很少,所以很快就賣光。

Vivian

Okay. But the store across the street is cheaper. Can you same price?

好。可是對面那家比較便宜,可以算一樣的價錢嗎?(要說 Do you price match?)

Jake

Oh, you mean, do we price match? Sure! Just show me their price on your phone.

喔,妳是說我們有沒有比價保證?可以!在手機上給我看他們的價錢就好。

Vivian

Here it is. It’s thirty-nine ninety-nine over there.

在這裡,那邊是三十九塊九十九。

Jake

Got it. We can match that, no problem. Anything else today?

了解,我們可以照這個價錢,沒問題。今天還需要什麼嗎?

Vivian

Yes! I saw a sign for phone cases. Buy one send one, right?

有!我看到手機殼的牌子,買一送一對吧?(要說 Buy one, get one free)

Jake

You mean buy one, get one free? Yep! Pick any two, and the cheaper one is free.

妳是說買一送一嗎?對!隨便挑兩個,比較便宜的那個免費。

Vivian

A price match and a free phone case? That’s a steal! Thanks so much, Jake.

價錢比得上,還送手機殼?太划算了!太謝謝你了,Jake。

下次這樣說 Next Time

黑五逛美國賣場,台灣人最常直翻的三句。

① 有打折嗎

❌ 中文腦會說

Does this have discount?

文法怪、店員要想一下

✅ 該這樣說

Is this on sale?

這有特價嗎?

為什麼:英文問打折最常說 on sale。discount 不是不能用,但要說 Is there a discount on this?,直翻中文的 have discount 少了冠詞又不自然。

② 可以照別家價錢嗎

❌ 中文腦會說

Can you same price?

same 不是動詞

✅ 該這樣說

Do you price match?

你們有比價保證嗎?

為什麼:美國不少大賣場有 price match(比價保證):別家比較便宜,拿出證明通常就照那個價錢賣你(各家規定不同)。直接問 Do you price match? 店員馬上懂。

③ 買一送一

❌ 中文腦會說

Buy one send one

send 是寄送

✅ 該這樣說

Buy one, get one free

買一送一

為什麼:送東西在英文是 get … free(你免費拿到),不是 send(寄出去)。牌子上常縮寫成 BOGO。

重點句型 Sentence Patterns

1. 有打折嗎 → Is this on sale?

問特價最自然的說法是 on sale;discount 要說 Is there a discount on this?

例:”Is this on sale?”(「這有特價嗎?」)
例:”Are these on sale too?”(「這些也有特價嗎?」)
例:”Is there a discount on this?”(「這個有折扣嗎?」)
注意:for sale 是「要賣的、出售中」,on sale 才是「特價中」,差一個字意思差很多。

2. 打六折 → forty percent off

中文說付幾成,英文說少付幾成,數字剛好相反。

例:”It’s forty percent off.”(「打六折。」)
例:”Everything is half off.”(「全部打五折。」)
例:”I got it for twenty percent off.”(「我用八折買到的。」)
換算公式:英文 percent off = 10 減中文折數再乘 10。打七折=thirty percent off。

3. 照別家價錢 → Do you price match?

美國很多大賣場有比價保證,拿出別家的價錢證明就能照價。

例:”Do you price match?”(「你們有比價保證嗎?」)
例:”Can you match this price?”(「可以照這個價錢嗎?」)
例:”It’s cheaper at the store across the street.”(「對面那家比較便宜。」)
小提醒:各家規定不同,限量搶購商品、別家的限時特價常常不適用,結帳前先問清楚。

4. 買一送一 → Buy one, get one free

「送」是你免費拿到(get … free),不是寄出去(send)。

例:”These are buy one, get one free.”(「這些買一送一。」)
例:”Buy one, get one half off.”(「第二件半價。」)
例:”Is this part of the BOGO deal?”(「這個有參加買一送一嗎?」)
「送」是你免費拿到(get … free),不是寄出去(send)。

5. 超划算 → That’s a steal!

便宜到像用偷的,比 It’s very cheap 更生動。

例:”That’s a steal!”(「太划算了!」)
例:”What a deal!”(「好便宜!」)
例:”Sorry, it’s sold out.”(「抱歉,賣光了。」)
便宜到像用偷的,比 It’s very cheap 更生動。

逐字稿 Transcript

Here’s something that trips a lot of people up. In Chinese, a sale tells you what you still pay, like six out of ten. But in English, that same deal is forty percent off. Hi, I’m Jason, and welcome to MJ English.這件事很多人都會卡到。中文講折扣,是講你還要付多少,像「六折」就是十分之六。可是英文同一個折扣,卻說少了百分之四十。嗨,我是 Jason,歡迎來到 MJ English。

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, this year November twenty-seventh. Stores open super early with huge sales. In our story, a Taiwanese grad student named Vivian waits in line at an electronics store in Los Angeles.黑色星期五是感恩節隔天,今年是 11 月 27 日。店家一大早就開門,還有超大特價。故事裡,台灣研究生 Vivian 在洛杉磯一家電器行排隊。
J
She finds headphones she loves and asks the clerk, “Does this have discount?” That’s mistake number one. And Jake answers, “Is it on sale? It sure is.” So the natural question is, “Is this on sale?”她看到喜歡的耳機,問店員:「Does this have discount?」這是第一個錯誤。Jake 回她:「Is it on sale? It sure is.」所以自然的問法是「Is this on sale?」
J
Careful, though. For sale just means someone is selling it, like a used car. On sale means the price is lower than normal. One tiny word, big difference.不過要小心:for sale 只是「有人在賣」,像二手車;on sale 才是「價錢比平常低」。一個小字,差很多。
J
Jake says it’s forty percent off. Here’s the trick: Chinese tells you what you pay, and English tells you what you save. So take ten, subtract the Chinese number, and add a zero. Chinese six is forty percent off. Chinese seven is thirty percent off.Jake 說打 forty percent off。小撇步是:中文講你付多少,英文講你省多少。所以拿十減掉中文折數,再加一個零。六折是 forty percent off,七折是 thirty percent off。
J
He also calls the headphones a doorbuster. That’s a super cheap item the store only has a few of, so they sell out fast. Sell out means every single one is gone.他還說這副耳機是 doorbuster,就是店裡只有幾個的超便宜商品,所以很快就 sell out,也就是一個都不剩。
J
Mistake number two. Vivian sees the store across the street is cheaper, so she asks, “Can you same price?” But same isn’t a verb. Jake says, “Oh, you mean, do we price match? Sure!”第二個錯誤。Vivian 發現對面比較便宜,就問:「Can you same price?」但 same 不是動詞。Jake 說:「Oh, you mean, do we price match? Sure!」
J
Price match means a store agrees to match a lower price from another store. Many big U.S. stores do it, though rules vary. Just show proof on your phone and ask, “Do you price match?”price match 就是店家同意照別家比較低的價錢賣。美國不少大賣場都有,只是各家規定不同。拿出手機上的證明,問「Do you price match?」就好。
J
Mistake number three. Vivian sees a sign for phone cases and says, “Buy one send one, right?” She copied the Chinese word for send. Jake says, “You mean buy one, get one free?” The store doesn’t send it. You get it free.第三個錯誤。Vivian 看到手機殼的牌子說:「Buy one send one, right?」她把中文的「送」直接搬過來。Jake 說:「You mean buy one, get one free?」不是店家寄給你,是你免費拿到。
J
At the end, Vivian says, “That’s a steal!” A steal is a deal so cheap, it feels like you stole it. And if something is gone, you’ll hear, “Sorry, it’s sold out.”最後 Vivian 說:「That’s a steal!」a steal 就是便宜到像用偷的。東西沒了,你會聽到「Sorry, it’s sold out.」
J
Quick recap. Ask, “Is this on sale?” Forty percent off means you pay sixty percent. For a better price, ask, “Do you price match?” And for two items, say, “Buy one, get one free.”快速複習:問「Is this on sale?」;forty percent off 是付百分之六十;想要更低價問「Do you price match?」;兩件的優惠說「Buy one, get one free.」
J
Now let’s hear the whole conversation one more time. Listen for Jake’s natural answers, and just enjoy the story. Here we go.現在把整段對話再聽一次。注意聽 Jake 自然的回答,好好享受故事就好。開始囉。

The second time through, you can hear on sale, price match, and buy one, get one free pop out much more clearly. Your ears are already getting used to them.第二次聽,on sale、price match、buy one, get one free 是不是清楚多了?你的耳朵已經開始習慣了。
