  Hello! Are you ready for fun?大家好!准备好去寻找快乐吗?

  First One: What do you suggest?

  When it comes to choosing gifts, most foreigners like to get other people's advice before deciding what to buy. This is especially true when the gift is very important. Customers will often ask the salesperson to give them some choices or suggestions.

  你有什么建议吗?当挑选礼物的时候,大多数的外国人在决定购买什么之前,喜欢得到其他人的建议。当礼物非常重要的时候,尤其是这样。顾客会常常要求销售人员给他们一些选择或者建议。

  Second One: What about this one?

  This sentence can be used by the salesperson to ask if a customer likes an item or can be used by a customer to ask the salesperson the price of an item.

  这个怎么样?销售人员可以用这句话来询问顾客是否喜欢某件东西。或者,顾客也可以用它来询问销售人员某件东西的价格。

  Third One: Who is this for?

  When choosing a gift it's a good idea to consider carefully whom the gift is meant for. While your Uncle might like a new golf club, your girlfriend would probably feel like you didn't put any thought into the gift if you bought her a new golf club especially if she doesn't play golf. Often the price of the gift is not as important as the thought that is put into it, Americans like to say, "It's the thought that counts."

  你打算把这个给谁?当挑选礼物的时候,最好仔细考虑一下送礼的对象。你的叔叔可能喜欢一个新的高尔夫球棒,而你要是给女友买高尔夫球棒而她又不打高尔夫球的话,她可能就会觉得你在礼物上没花一点儿心思。通常,一件礼物的价格没有花在这件礼物上的心思重要。美国人喜欢说:"重要的是心思"。

  Fourth One: That'll be a nice gift.

  This expression infers that the recipient of the gift will like it and that it is a good choice. Salespeople tend to say this about expensive gifts... Why is that? J

  那会是一个不错的礼物。这句话暗示着礼物的接收人会喜欢的,而且那个礼物也是一个不错的选择。销售人员喜欢把它用在贵重的礼物上面……为什么呢?
