大卖场 Shopping At An Outlet
ELIZA: This place is great. I'm surprised they have so much.
JANE: Yes, but it takes a while to find things.
It's not organized as carefully as a regular store.
ELIZA: I never shopped in an outlet before. We don't have any in my hometown.
Why do they call it an "outlet"?
JANE: Sometimes a clothes company makes too many of one item.
They can't sell it all in their regular stores. So they send the overstock to an outlet.
That's why they call it an "outlet".
It's a store that "let's out" products the company can't sell in regular stores.
ELIZA: And they have faulty products here too.
JANE: Yes. A "faulty product" may be a shirt that has some problem.
Or a pair of pants that is ripped a little.
Sometimes the fault is very small. So it's a good deal to buy it.
Sometimes, if you have a needle and thread, you can fix it yourself.
ELIZA: I like to sew, so that's easy for me.
I think it's a really good deal. Some of these shirts have only one tiny mistake on them.
JANE: I know.
So it's a good idea to shop in an outlet sometimes. You can save a lot of money.
ELIZA: That's great for me.
Now that Steve and I have the baby, we want to save as much as we can.
CASHIER: Cash or credit, Ma'am?
ELIZA: Credit.
JANE: Wow! How many of those sweatshirts are you buying?
ELIZA: I have six here.
JANE: Six? Why do you need so many?
ELIZA: They're such a good deal.
I'm buying one for Steve, one for his brother Rick,
one for my dad, two for my sisters, and one for me.
JANE: You really know how to use an outlet store!
ELIZA: I ought to make the most of it while I'm here, don't you think?
JANE: Sure. You're smart.
伊莉莎：这地方好棒哦！我很惊讶这里有这么多的东西。
珍：是啊，但找东西需要一点时间就是了。
这里不像一般的店那样井然有序。
伊莉莎：我从来没有逛过出清大卖场。我们家乡没有这样的大卖场。
为什么叫做"大卖场"呢？
珍：有时候成衣公司生产过量。
不能在各店销完，只好把存货送到大卖场来。
所以叫做"出清"。
就是商家把各店没卖出去的货清出去。
伊莉莎：这里也有瑕疪品。
珍：是的，"瑕疵品"可能
