特別推薦：奧運(yùn)英語(yǔ)專題

 

 

A: Hello! This is Word Wise on Language Tips. I’m Marc.

B: Hello! This is Meggie.

A: Meggie, do you have any plan to get married on the opening day of the Beijing Olympics?

B: August 8? It is a good day, but I don’t think I will compete with thousands of couples for that.

A: Oh! That would be a bad news for those scalpers.

B: Scalpers? What does that mean?

A: Scalpers refer to those who buy something and resell it at a price far above the initial cost.

B: 那不就是黃牛黨嗎？可他們跟奧運(yùn)開(kāi)幕那天結(jié)婚有什么關(guān)系啊？

A: Well, just like what you’ve said, many people would like to get married on that special day, then they would surely need a place to hold their wedding banquet, and so many wedding banquets on that day …

B: 啊！我明白了。你是說(shuō)那天辦婚宴的人太多，會(huì)有很多人訂不到場(chǎng)地，對(duì)吧？

A: Definitely. So here comes the wedding banquet scalper.

B: 婚宴黃牛黨。這些人可真會(huì)賺錢。They will surely make a lot of money.

A: But it is risky too.

B: Risky?

A: Yes. They have to pay a deposit of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan to reserve a wedding banquet space, if they are unable to sell the space later, that money is gone.

B: 那倒是。花三、四千塊錢訂了飯店，轉(zhuǎn)讓不出去的話也夠慘的。對(duì)了，Marc，那我們平時(shí)在體育館外面經(jīng)常看到的票販子就是ticket scalper吧？

A: Right! A ticket scalper is someone who buys ticket for an event like the Olympics and resells it at a price far above the initial cost. For example, the police cracked down on the ticket scalpers outside the soccer ground.

B: 倒賣高價(jià)票的黃牛黨真是太可惡了，他們就應(yīng)該得到懲罰。

A: Hmm, I will never buy tickets from a scalper. That is the word today, scalper, and wedding banquet scalper, and ticket scalper.

B: 我們今天說(shuō)的就是黃牛黨這個(gè)詞，scalper。
