有趣的讨价还价 　　《星尘》(Stardust)改编自美国漫画家尼尔?盖曼的同名绘本小说，讲述各方势力围绕一颗坠落的流星而展开的纵横捭阖的争夺与冒险。 　　我们选取了一段Shakespeare船长和一个商贩做闪电（“Wall”另一边的世界中，“闪电”是一种武器的原料）买卖的对话，充分体现了商人的狡诈和船长的坚持，是学习如何Bargain的好材料。 　　（Hurry up.） 　　Merchant: Yeah. Doesn’t seem very fresh. I’ll be honest. [商人称“闪电”不是很新鲜，想要压价] 　　Captain: Shall I give you a little taste, young Ferdinand?[taste这里指见识一下商品的威力] 　　Merchant: No, no. Oh, there you go. Brilliant. Like they’re cheap. [还在拼命数落商品的不是] 　　Captain:I think it’s still crackling, very much alive, still trés fresh（非常新鲜，trés是法语，相当于very）. So, name your best price. [给出你的价格用name the price] 　　Merchant: ―For 10,000 bolts? 　　Captain:Ten thousand bolts of finest quality grade A. [船长重申自己的商品是高档次的] 　　Merchant: Yeah, but it’s difficult to shift, isn’t it? Difficult to store. If I get the Revenue Men（税务员） in here sniffing round, what’s the... Best price, 150 guineas. [一大堆废话之后，商人给出了自己的诚实价] 　　Captain:Gentlemen, put the merchandise back onboard and prepare to sail. [船长作出要撤回的威胁] 　　Merchant: ―Whoa, whoa, whoa.（Captain: Ferdinand, always a pleasure.）Hold on. Hold on. One minute. Hold on, cuddles（伙计们）. Oh, he’s... One-sixty. One-sixty. [商人让步了，给了160的价格] 　　Captain:Seeing as I’m feeling particularly generous today, I’ll settle for 200. [船长也给出了自己坚持的价格200] 　　Merchant: Two hundred? Okay. You’re having a laugh（你在开玩笑吧）. Have you had your head in that? Has he been sailing up where the air’s too thin? [商人觉得开的价格太高了，冷嘲热讽] 　　Captain:You’re being very rude. 　　Merchant: Not anymore. 　　Captain:Two hundred. 　　Merchant: One-eighty. （180） 　　Captain:Two hundred. 　　Merchant: That’s not negotiation. I’m changing my number. One-eight-five（185，为了省事儿，商人描述数字非常直接，但也十分口语化，但是我们在考试的时候可不能这么用哦）. 　　Captain:―Did I hear 200? 　　Merchant:From you, you did. Yeah. 　　Captain:―You said 200. 　　Merchant: ―If I did, you’re a ventriloquist（口技者）. Okay, one-nine-five. Final offer. 　　Captain:One-nine-five it is. So, with sales tax, that’s, let’s see, 200. [最终是船长胜利地以200的价格卖出了商品，非常有戏剧性] 　　Merchant: Brilliant. Put it in the
