双语:九个细节让你成为“省钱达人”

 [size=5][color=darkslateblue]Feeling regret about having bought something is a very unpleasant sort of unhappiness. Even with my under-buying ways, I sometimes come home with something I didn't really need to buy. Stores use extremely clever strategies to winkle customers into making [/color][/size][url=http://www.iciba.com/purchase][size=5][color=darkslateblue]purchase[/color][/size][/url][size=5][color=darkslateblue]s. Here are some strategies to make sure you don't make [/color][/size][url=http://www.iciba.com/purchase][size=5][color=darkslateblue]purchase[/color][/size][/url][size=5][color=darkslateblue]s you regret:[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  买了东西又后悔是种非常不愉快的感受。即便像我这种“少买”的人,有时还是会买回一些不需要的。商店采用极其聪明的手段引诱顾客消费。下面这些方法能让你买了东西不至于后悔:[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  1. Be wary of the check-out areas. 留心收银台区。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  There are lots of enticing little items here; ask yourself if you really need something before you add it to your pile. How many times have I picked up a jar of Balmex?[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  那里有许多诱人的小商品。在把它扔进购物车之前,问一问自己是不是确实需要这件东西。有多少次我拿起了一罐Balmex尿片?[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  2. Get in and get out。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  速战速决。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  The more time you spend in a store, the more you're likely to buy. Even better: don't even go in the store. Then you definitely won't buy。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  你在商店花的时间越多,买的就越多。最好连去都不要去,这样你就不会买了。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  3. Question the need for an upgrade。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  对升级的需要提出质疑。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  You might want that device with a slick new function, or to get the improved version of what you have now, but do you really need it?[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  你想买一个有花俏新功能的东西,或者用升级版替换掉你现有的那个,但是,你真的需要吗?[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  4. Be polite to salespeople, but don't feel like they're your new best friends。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  对销售人员要礼貌,但别把他们当成你新结识的最要好的朋友。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  Don't buy something because you're worried about hurting their feelings or having made them do a lot of work helping you or explaining products to you. At the same time, be [/color][/size][url=http://www.iciba.com/respect][size=5][color=darkslateblue]respect[/color][/size][/url][size=5][color=darkslateblue]ful of clerks' efforts. [/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  不要因为担心伤害到他们的感情而去购买,也别因为他们的努力帮助或解说就非得买某样东西。同时,还是要对店员的努力表示尊重。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  5. Don't shop when you're in a hurry or when you're hungry。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  不要在匆忙或饥饿的时候购物。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  6. Stick to a list。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  严格遵循购物清单。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  I've found that after I've decided to buy one thing, I'm far more likely to throw in other impulse items, because I know that I'm committed to going through the hassle of paying。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  我发现在决定了要买一件东西后,总容易一时冲动买其它商品,因为我知道不管买多少,付款的繁琐都是免不了的。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  7. Beware of sale items。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  当心促销品。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  Beware of sale items, which make you feel like you can't afford not to buy, or limited-time offers, which make you feel like you have to take advantage of a special deal. If you don't need or want something, it's not a good deal, not matter how cheap it is. A friend of mine told her husband, "I got this 50% off!" and he answered, "That means it was 50% ON."[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  当心促销品,因为它们会让你感到自己不能不买。也要当心限时优惠,这会让你感到占了便宜。如果你不需要或不想要某样东西,不论价格多么便宜也别买,这不是一笔好买卖。我的一位朋友告诉她的丈夫:“我五折买下的这件东西!”她的丈夫回答:“那说明原来卖贵了一倍。”[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  8. Don't buy anything that you don't know you need--this is especially important with clothes。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  不要买自己都不知道是否需要的东西,尤其是衣服。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  If you're not careful, you can buy a pair of pants marked down 75%, then realize that you can't really wear them unless you buy the right shoes to go with them。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  如果你不小心,你可能会买下一条标价2.5折的裤子,随后发现只有再买一双鞋和它搭配,否则根本穿不了。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  9. Choose cash or [/color][/size][url=http://www.iciba.com/credit][size=5][color=darkslateblue]credit[/color][/size][/url][size=5][color=darkslateblue] card。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  选择用现金或信用卡。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  Some people find it far harder to spend actual physical cash; other people find that paying cash makes a [/color][/size][url=http://www.iciba.com/purchase][size=5][color=darkslateblue]purchase[/color][/size][/url][size=5][color=darkslateblue] seem trivial, even when the dollar amount is high. Know whether you're more inclined to overspend with cash or [/color][/size][url=http://www.iciba.com/credit][size=5][color=darkslateblue]credit[/color][/size][/url][size=5][color=darkslateblue] cards--and leave that payment method at home。[/color][/size]
[size=5][color=darkslateblue]  有的人购物时,如果是付现金,就觉得不舍得买了;而有的人相反,花现金让他们感觉买东西只是小事情,不管那东西有多贵。知道是现金还是信用卡更容易让自己乱花钱,然后,舍弃那种付款方法。[/color][/size]
