购物常用英语
or debit? (Credit or debit?)
使用信用卡或是提款卡?
Charge (Credit) 指的就是一般我们说的信用卡, 信用卡使用上很方便, 但若是没有收入又没有社会安全卡, 是很难申请到信用卡的. 而我们的提款卡 (ATM 卡) 就是 debit, 它会从你的支票户头直接扣钱. 一般而言, 只要去有刷卡的地方都会被问这一句, 刚来美国的人常常对这句话感到莫名奇妙, 不知道这句话到底在问什么, 其实只要了解什么是 charge 什么是 debit, 这句话就不难了解, 视你是使用信用卡还是 ATM 卡而回答. 使用信用卡就说 charge, 使用 ATM 卡就答 debit.
2. Cash back?
是否要找回现金?
在美国跨行提款的手续费是 $, 够吓人的吧? 可是偏偏美国那么大, 你要找到跟发卡银行同一家银行的提款机谈何容易? 那这是不是意谓着每次去提领现金都要负担高额的手续费?
其实只要你善用 cash back 这个功能, 那情况就完全不一样了, cash back 就是说假设你买 10 块的东西, 但刷卡时你可以刷 30 元, 剩下的 20元他会拿现金 20 块找你, 如此出门就不必带着大笔的现金, 又不必负担高额的提款手续费. 唯一缺点是有金额限制, 有些店最多可 cash back $50, 有些店只能 cash back $20. 一般的情形是只有 ATM 卡才能 cash back 的, 一般的信用卡是不行的, 但是有些特别的信用卡, 如 Discover, 也有提供 cash back 的`功能. 他的优点在于不受发卡银行提款机的限制, 我在亚特兰大拿的 ATM 卡到波士顿一样可以 cash back, 而且完全不收手续费, 请大家多加利用.
3. How are you going to pay?
你要怎么付款?
不住在美国的人, 或是刚来美国的人听到这句话一定觉得丈二金刚摸不着头脑. 其实这句话跟 Charge or debit 这句话很像, 问的就是你要用什么方式付款如信用卡(credit card) 提款卡 (debit card) 或是现金 (cash) 来付帐. 这句话在\“电子情书\”这部电影中曾出现过, 在男主角去女主角的书店买东西时, 店员就问男主角这句, 汤姆汉克就答: cash. 就是付现的意思了.
4. Double coupon.
双重折价卷.
我想只要在美国待过一阵子的人, 都知道利用 coupon 来省钱的道理吧! 所谓的 coupon, 就是由制造商所发行的一种折价卷, 如 Save 50c 的 coupon (折价卷)可以让你在结帐时少付 50c, 然后再由这些商店拿着这些 coupon 去跟制造商换钱.
那什么是 double coupon 呢? 就是在美国有一家很有名叫 Kroger 的 grocery store. 为了促销, 所推行的一种政策. 他们宣称拿着 50c 的 coupon 去他们的店里买东西, 就可以折价 1 元, 折价的金额足足多了一倍. 多余的这 50c 是 Kroger 给顾客的优惠. 但是也有一些限制, 例如,每张 coupon 的面额不得超过 75c, 而且对同样一个商品, double coupon 只能使用一次.
5. Bring your receipt to the customer service, and they will refund you.
把你的收据拿给顾客服务部, 他们就会退钱给你.
美国是个很重视消费者权益的国家, 所以几乎每个商家, 都一定会有一个专门的 customer service 柜台. 有任何的问题去找他们, 他们多半会给你满意的答覆. 我是觉得去超市买东西, 他们算错钱的比例蛮高的, 只要发现收据上有任何问题, 就可以拿着收据去 customer service 要求退钱 (refund).
我觉得老美也蛮有人情味的, 有一次我结帐时忘了拿会员卡出来, 以致于多付了六七块钱, 虽然这是我自己的错, 但是当我拿着会员卡和收据去跟 customer service 说明后, 他们还

With numerous technological advances, various kinds of media have been well developed. As a result, an increasing number of people are fond of purchasing goods with the help of media, such as newspapers, radio stations, TV stations and the Internet.
As we know, every coin has two sides and shopping via media is no exception. On the one hand, it saves much time, money and effort to purchase goods through media since you don't have to go to the shops in person. Besides, you can choose what you want from an enormous variety of goods on display. On the other hand, you may be cheated sometimes by the false information and suffer a considerable loss.
As far as I am concerned, shopping via media brings great benefits to our life and our economy on the whole. At the same time, we need strengthened supervision over the information released via media. In this way, we can reap more benefits from shopping via media and reduce the possible harm to a minimum.

Christmas was just a week away and I had five people left to shop for and only three dollars .“Let’s set a price limit on our gifts this year,” I suggested to my best friend Joanie.“That’s a good idea,” Joanie agreed. “How about nothing over five dollars?”“How about sixty cents?” I felt like the biggest cheapskate in the world .“I guess this is where I’m supposed to say it’s not the gift but the thought that counts,” Joanie smiled .
It is almost impossible to buy anything under sixty cents, so it was really going to have to be very small gifts with very big thoughts .Finally , Christmas Day arrived. I gave my mother a candle with a note that said, “You are the brightest light in my life.” She almost cried when she read the gave my brother a wooden ruler. On the back of it I had painted, “No brother in the world could measure up to you.” He gave me a bag of sugar and had written on it, “You’re sweet.”For Joanie , I painted a pair of shoes with a note that said, “No one could ever fill your shoes .” She thanked me and said I always tickled her and made her my other two friends, I gave Annie a paper fan and a note on it, “I’m your biggest fan.” I gave Helen a calculator that cost one dollar and I painted a message on the back, “You can always count on me.”
My mother knows she is the most important person in my life. My brother thinks I’m sweet. Joanie thinks I’m funny and make her laugh , which is important because her dad moved away last year and she missed him and is sad sometimes.
离圣诞节还有一个星期，我还有五个人要去购物，只有三美元。“我们今年设定一个价格限制我们的礼物，我建议我最好的朋友Joanie。“这是一个好主意，”Joanie同意。“五美元怎么样?”“六十美分怎么样?“我觉得世界上最小气的人。“我想这正是我要说的不是礼物而是思想才是最重要的，”Joanie笑了。
买六十美分以下的东西几乎是不可能的，所以它真的是非常小的礼物，有着很大的'思想。终于，圣诞节到了。我给妈妈一支蜡烛，上面写着：“你是我生命中最亮的光。”她读纸条的时候几乎哭了。我给了我弟弟一把木尺。在它的背面，我画了一句：“世界上没有一个哥哥能比得上你。”他给了我一袋糖，上面写着：“你很可爱。”Joanie，我画了一双鞋和一张纸条说，“没有人能填补你的鞋。”她感谢我，说我总是挠让她笑。我的两个朋友给了安妮一个纸扇和一张纸条，上面写着：“我是你最大的粉丝”，我给了海伦一个价值1美元的计算器，我在背面画了一条信息：“你可以指望我。”
我妈妈知道她是我生命中最重要的人。我哥哥认为我很可爱。Joanie认为我很有趣，让她笑，这很重要，因为她的父亲去年离开了，她很想念他，伤心的时候。
