ThemiddleEasternBazaar中东市场课文的中文翻译(全文).docxVIP

个都是轻声轻 气、慢条斯理的样子；买布的顾客们在这种沉闷压抑的气氛感染下，自然而然地也学着店主们的典范，变 得低声细语起来。 One of the peculiarities of the Eastern bazaar is that shopkeepers dealing in the same kind of goods do not scatter themselves over the bazaar, in order to avoid competition, but collect in the same area, so that purchasers can kno商品的话，他便会漫天要价，而且在还价过程中也很难作出让步。而在卖主那一方来说，他必须竭尽全力 地声称，他开出的价钱使他根本无利可图，而他之所以愿意这样做完全是出于他本人对顾客的敬重。顾客 有时来了又去，去了又来，因此，像这样讨价还价的情形有可能持续一整天，甚至好几天。 One of the most picturesque and impressive parts of the bazaar is the copper-smiths market.
