　　Tips On Reception of Foreigners

　　外事接待注意事项

　　Bargaining

　　讨价还价

　　Usually when a customer buys something ,he wants to pay at a low price, but the seller prefers a high price,

　　通常顾客购物时总是想出低价，而卖方则想卖出高价，

　　so the commercial srategy for a seller is to ask for a high price and give in slowly, whereas a buyer should try his best to bargain with the seller

　　所以对于卖方来说，最好的商业策略便是叫同高价，然后慢慢让步，而对于买方来说，他必须尽力与卖方讨价还价。

　　He can find faults with the goods even if he is quite satisfied with them,he must still pretend to be unsatisfied with them,so that he can successfully make the price decine to its minimum.

　　他可以挑剔商品的毛病，尽管他对商品非常满意，他还是必须假装对它们不太满意，这样他能成功地使价格降到最低点。

　　In the course of bargaining, the seller usually makes the starting offer ,and tries to convince the buyer that his price is reasonable for a variety of reasons,

　　在讨价还价的过程中，卖方通常最先出价，并极力说服买方相信，由于种种原因，他的价格是非常合理的，

　　such as because the quality is super ,or because the material cost has increased etc...

　　比如说，因为他的质量上乘，或者因为成本价上涨了等等。

　　The buyer would then make a counter-offer by pointing out that the starting offer is not reasonable because it is too expensive, or because the quality is not up to standard.

　　然后买方进行还价，并反映出这个出价不合理，因为价格太高，或者因为质量不合标准等。

　　He can even threaten to call the deal off.

　　他甚至还可以威胁要取消这笔交易。

　　Both sides can continue to haggle and suggest some other price until agree on the price.

　　双方可以继续讨价还价，并不断报出新价，直至最后就价格达成协议

　　Here is another piece of advice for the buyer.

　　这里再给买方一则忠告。

　　Usually the department stores are full of different kinds of goods.

　　通常商场里商品不可琳琅满目。

　　How are you going to know how to get your money's worth when you shop?

　　购物时怎样才能买到“货真价实”的商品呢?

　　Perhaps the best advice for you is: Don't worry,.

　　或许给你的最好忠告便是：别着急。

　　You can visit various stores and determine the quality of the merchandise, and try to copare the prices.

　　你可以多逛几家商场，弄清商品的质量，并比较商品的价格。

　　In short ,you have to explore and examine the goods carefully before you buy.

　　简而言之，在购物前，你得仔细检查这些商品。

　　In this way, I'm sure you can get a good buy.

　　这样我肯定你一定能买到划算的东西。
