Trading Stamps 用贈券換東西
    A: Every time I go to the grocery, the clerk asks me if I save stamps. I always say no, but sometimes I get them anyway.
    B: Oh, never turn them down. You can always find someone who'll take them. People spend hours pasting them in little books, and when a book is full, they drive miles to a redemption center where the stamps can be traded for things like pillow cases, or playing cards, or garden tools. But you have to save millions of them to get anything worth having.
    Notes
    Stamp 美國一些商店或超級市場送給顧客的(如郵票大小的)贈券。積到一定數(shù)量后可以換取實物禮品
    Clerk 售貨員
    Turn them down-refuse them
    Redemption center 用贈券換取禮品的商店
    Trade-exchange
    A:每次我去雜貨店,店員都問我是否收集贈券,我總是說“不”,不過有的時候我還是積下些贈券。
    B:啊,別丟掉它。你總會找到回收贈券的人。有些人花時間把贈券粘貼在小本子上,當一本貼滿后,開幾英里的車到回收中心去,在那兒可以用贈券交換像枕頭套、撲克牌或修整花園的工具等東西。不過你得收集相當多張才能換回一些有重要價值的東西。
