一提到北京的紅橋市場，大家都不陌生，尤其是對於外國朋友，簡直是購物天堂。在這裡，顧客基本都是歪果仁。有時候，還會迎來一些外國大咖光顧於此。8月俄羅斯總理普京夫人，聖馬利諾國家元首，瑞士總統夫人都曾光臨紅橋市場。
I think most of us are not unfamiliar about the Beijing Hongqiao Market， especially for foreign friends。 It is simply a shopping paradise。 Here， customers are basically foreigners。 Some famous foreign people also come here sometimes。 In August， Russian Chairman Mr。 Putin’s wife， head of San Marino， Swiss President’swife had come to HongqiaoMarket。
前兩天，小左也陪兩位美國朋友在北京逛了逛，先去了文化氣息比較濃厚的天壇，隨後，我就跟隨他們去了紅橋市場，是的，是我跟著他們！
The other day，I also accompanied two American friends to walk around in Beijing。 We visit the Temple of Heaven first， then I followed them to the Hongqiao market， yes， I followed them！
從來沒來過紅橋市場的我，被眼前的一幕驚呆了，很多外國人拎著大包小包跟售貨員討價還價，售貨員都說著一口流利的外語，真心讓學了這麼多年英語依然說不好的我臉紅。
I had never been to the Hongqiao Market before， and I was stunned by the scene in front of me。Alot of foreigners carrying packages were bargaining with salespersons，and all salespersons can speak English fluently。 I’m ashamed that I still can’t speak English well even though I have learned it for a dozen years。
那麼，問題來了，如果不是在紅橋市場，一句漢語也不會的外國朋友在買買買的時候，該怎麼用最簡單的漢語跟售貨員交流呢？
So， the question is if it’s not in the HongqiaoMarket， foreign friends who can’t speak any Chinese but want to go shopping， how can they use the simplest Chinese to communicate with the salespersons？
接下來我們就學一個萬能的句子：
這個/那個多少錢？
無論買什麼都可以說，一句話開啟交際大門。
Well， then let’s learn an omnipotent sentence：
how much is this / that？
No matter what will you buy， you can say this to be a start。
問完了又覺得價格不合適怎麼辦？
討價還價！
“太貴了，便宜一點兒吧！”
這句話，簡直太好用了！
Then if you think the price is not acceptable， how to do？
Bargain！
“It‘s too expensive。 Could you give me a cheaper price？”
This sentence，it is very useful！
那麼，接下來我們就用一下。
舉個栗子：
比如，在紅橋市場買玩具：
顧客：這個多少錢？
售貨員：這個390塊！
顧客：太貴了，便宜一點兒吧！
……
Well， let’s try to use it。
For example：
A customer is buying toys in the HongqiaoMarket：
Customer： How much is this？
Salesperson： 390RMB！
Customer： It’s too expensive。 Could you give me a cheaper price？
……
這麼好用的句子，你不打算用一下嗎？
Such a good and useful sentence， don’t you want to use it？
