( Door closing. Bags rustling.)
J: Yang Chen, I'm so sorry I'm late. Has the program started yet?
Y: 當然已經(jīng)開始啦。
J: Oh, I'm so sorry everyone. Hello everyone! Welcome to American Cafe. My apologies.
Y: 你怎么今天遲到了?
J: Just go ahead without me. I'm going to get my bags...
(Sound of rustling bags.)
Y: Jody 你干嗎呢? 能不能集中點精神？ ... 啊?! 你竟然去逛街去了？
J: Shopping? No, no, no. I was not shopping.
Y: 那這些購物袋是怎么回事兒呢？
J: What bags? Oh, these bags? Right, You see, Yang Chen, I was doing research.
Y: 作研究, 做什么研究啊？
J: Research on ... buying and selling.
Y: 啊哈，作市場調(diào)查。那還不是和逛街差不多。
J: Okay, I may have done a little shopping. But I just wanted to get in the mood. Because I thought shopping is such a popular pastime for Americans, we could do a show on shopping. What do you think?
Y: 我知道美國人，特別是女士們周末喜歡逛街。我也很喜歡啊。你下次再作市場調(diào)查可要叫我和你一快去啊。
J: Oh, absolutely! Actually for today's show I thought we could talk about a special type of store that I've always wanted to know more about, a consignment store!
Y: Consignment store? 哎, 咱倆那天在Dupont Circle路過的那家店就是一家consignment store,對不對？
J: The one and the same! It's called Secondi Consignment Store. And when I went back, I spoke with Molly, an employee there, who helped me understand exactly how a consignment store operates.
Y: 我們來聽聽Molly怎么解釋consignment store是什么意思。
實錄1
Molly: A consignment store is a store where people own the items that the store sells for them on their behalf. The original owner of the items is only paid once the items are sold on the store.
Y: 這種商店在中文里應(yīng)該叫寄售商店。
J: Let's listen to Molly again as she talks more about how a consignment store operates.
實錄2
Molly: The consigner comes in. One of the managers goes through the items and tells the consigner "Yes, we can sell it" or "No, we can't." "Here's what we think we can sell it for" pricewise. And then the consigner gets 50 percent of that price.
Y: Molly 剛才提到的"consigner"... right?
J: Consigner. Correct.
Y: ... 就是委托他們出售商品的客戶。一般來說，客戶拿東西到她們商店來，有一位專門負責(zé)收購的經(jīng)理決定哪些她們能賣出去，哪些她們不愿意賣。然后和客戶商訂價錢，商店會得到售價的50%。
J: Wow, Yang Chen, you summed that up really well. A consigner is the person who brings the clothes in that they want the store, the consignment store, to sell for them. So a consignment is just like being a distributor. You know, a slang word for distributor is "middle man." And you say "middle man" even if it's a woman.
Y: 呣, 在中文里呢, "middle man"應(yīng)該就是"中間人" 或者"經(jīng)紀人"的意思。
J: Oh, hey, Yang Chen, also at Secondi they have a great system that keeps the inventory fresh.
Y: 這家商店，就是Secondi這家商店，那么他們怎么避免貨品的積壓呢？我們再讓Molly解釋一下。
