Upper-Intermediate - Bargaining (D0166)

您要知道一分钱一分货啊。您看，这可是意大利名牌，全手工制作质地又好。

You must know that you get what you pay for. This is an Italian brand. It is handmade and has a superior texture.

别蒙我了！这条裙子做工也不过一般，颜色也不是特别好看，根本不值五百块。你别乱开价了。
bié mēng wǒ le ！zhè tiáo qúnzi zuògōng yě búguò yībān ，yánsè yě bù shì tèbié hǎokàn ，gēnběn bùzhí wǔbǎi kuài 。nǐ bié luàn kāijià le 。
Don't try to fool me! The tailoring of this skirt is just average. The color is not that pretty either. It's not worth 500. Don't give me that ridiculous price.

怎么会？这裙子可是用上好的布料制成的，识货的人都知道，这个品牌的衣服质量都很好。
zěnme huì ？zhè qúnzi kěshì yòng shànghǎo de bùliào zhìchéng de ，shíhuò de rén dōu zhīdao ，zhège pǐnpái de yīfu zhìliàng dū hěn hǎo 。
What? This skirt is made from the best fabric. It's clear to people who know clothing. The clothes of this brand are of top quality.

别吹牛了。这条裙子的样式还不错，如果价格适中的话，我就买了。你报个底价吧。
bié chuīniú le 。zhè tiáo qúnzi de yàngshì hái bùcuò ，rúguǒ jiàgé kuòzhōng dehuà ，wǒ jiù mǎi le 。nǐ bào ge dǐjià ba 。
Stop tooting your own horn. The style of the skirt is nice. I would buy it if the price were OK. Just give me your bottom line.

如果你真心想买，我给你打个八折。四百块钱怎么样？
rúguǒ nǐ zhēnxīn xiǎng mǎi ，wǒ gěi nǐ dǎ ge bā zhé 。sìbǎi kuài qián zěnmeyàng ？
If you really want it, I can give you 20% off. How about 400?

你这个人不实在。还是太贵了！最多两百块。不卖我就走了。
nǐ zhège rén bù shízai 。hái shì tài guì le ！zuìduō liǎngbǎi kuài 。bù mài wǒ jiù zǒu le 。
You are not being straight with me. It's still way too expensive. The most I can give is 200 or I am out of here.

等等，再加一点好吗？三百块怎么样？你可不能再往下还啦！
děngděng ，zài jiā yīdiǎn hǎo ma ？sānbǎi kuài zěnmeyàng ？nǐ kě bùnéng zài wǎngxià hái la ！
Hang on! How about a bit more? 300? You can't drag the price below that!
