Welcome to On the Town from BBC Learning English.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?:[/b] 大家好，我是刘佳。在我们今天的BBC Learning English节目当中，我们回来给大家好好介绍一下伦敦市中心最有名的二手货市场Portobello Market 波多贝露市场。[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Helen:[/b] What does Portobello Market mean to people? Here’s what one of them had to say.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b][u]Insert[/u][/b][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Portobello Road Market is a very lively, very vibrant, quite raw, quite over priced, very multi cultural, very ethnic, long winding road, where you can buy anything, providing it’s old and second hand.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?+Helen:[/b] 这位先生说到点上了。他用了很多个非常来形容波多贝露市集的特点。非常热闹充满了生气 (very lively)，有着动感（very vibrant），比较原始 (quite raw), 多元文化 （multicultural ）, 民族色彩 (ethnic)。 不过他也觉得波多贝露市集上有的东西标价过高 (overpriced)。 最重要的特点是你在这儿什么东西都能买到 (you can buy anything)，只要是二手旧货 (that’s right, this is a market for old and second hand goods.)[/p][p=30, 2, left][b][u]Insert[/u][/b][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Portobello Road Market is a very lively, very vibrant, quite raw, quite over priced, very multi cultural, very ethnic, long winding road, where you can buy anything, providing it’s old and second hand.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Helen:[/b] The market has lots of stalls selling all kinds of things.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?:[/b] Stall 就是小摊，这些小摊虽然地方不大，可能只有几平米，可是也都挂满了各种各样稀奇古怪的东西。[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Helen:[/b] Jonathan has an antique map stall in the Portobello market. So what sort of unique interesting things can you find at the market? Jonathan gave us some ideas.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b][u]Insert[/u][/b][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]Well, as I said, anything and everything. There are some shops stalls that are very expensive, and they have wonderful furniture, paintings, or pieces of pottery or porcelain.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?+Helen:[/b] 有些商店是古董专家，所以价格不便宜。像家具 (furniture), 画 (paintings), 陶瓷 (pottery and porcelain) 都有不少的选择。[/p][p=30, 2, left][b][u]Insert[/u][/b][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]And then there’ll be a store selling what we call in this country bric-a-brac, and that can be anything from a little cup, to a tin, to a glass to an old game, to a toy, you name it. And that’s the great thing about going to Portobello Road, you are never sure what you are going to find.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?+Helen:[/b] Jonathan 也提到很多小摊买的是二手杂货, 英语里有个特别的名字 (it’s called bric-a-brac) bric-a-brac 这类的东西一般都比较小，像杯子，小盒子，纪念品，玩具之类的。（You are never sure what you are going to find.）逛Portobello Market 的乐趣就是你永远不知道你会发现什么。[/p][p=30, 2, left][b][u]Insert[/u][/b][/p][p=30, 2, left][i]It’s full of surprises. For a few pounds you’ll come away with a wonderful memento of London and something that’s probably unique.[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?:[/b] 大家都说伦敦消费贵，可是你到了Portobello, 没准就花几镑钱就能买到好东西。[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Helen:[/b] That’s right, for a few pounds you could have something wonderful to remind you of London.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?:[/b] 而且是独一无二的纪念品 a unique memento。这才是最有意思的。[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Helen:[/b] A couple of other things about Portobello Market. Firstly, the main market is only open on Saturdays.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?:[/b] 这个二手市集只有星期六才有。平时只有少数的商店才开门。[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Helen:[/b] And secondly, don’t be afraid to haggle.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?:[/b] haggle 就是讨价还价，只有在这种地方，才有机会和摊主谈谈价钱。不过可别杀价太狠了。[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Helen:[/b] Well I hope you now know more about the famous second hand market in London -- Portobello Market.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?:[/b] 波多贝露市集, 伦敦最有名的古董二手货市场。[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Helen:[/b] So until the next time, it’s goodbye from both of us at BBC Learning English.[/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Zo?:[/b] Bye.[/p]
