    “搶手貨”英語怎么說
    JON: 沒錯(cuò)! The new iPhone 4S sold like hotcakes! 新的iPhone 4S 絕對是搶手貨!
    LUCY: There's actually another way of saying it, you can say: the new iPhone 4S is flying off the shelf! Shelf is spelled s-h-e-l-f, shelf, 是貨架的意思。Fly off the shelf, 就是說一件東西賣得特別好。
    JON: 店員還特別告訴我們,當(dāng)天晚上他們會進(jìn)新貨,建議我們半夜就去排隊(duì),這樣就能保證一大早開門的時(shí)候買到最新的iPhone了……所以我們大半夜就搬著小椅子守在蘋果店門口……

    JON: Camp out?
    LUCY: Camp, c-a-m-p, 是露營的意思,camp out means that you stay outdoors all night in front of the store! 也可以說是露營!
    JON: 哈哈,沒錯(cuò)! 我們就好像去露營一樣,在蘋果店門口呆了整整一夜!這種事只有我男朋友這種科技發(fā)燒友才干得出來!
    LUCY: 看來你男朋友還真是個(gè)tech-head!Tech是technology的簡稱,tech-head 腦袋里全是tech,就是科技發(fā)燒友!
    JON: Totally! My boyfriend is such a tech-head!
    LUCY: 好,言歸正傳,說說你今天都學(xué)到了什么!
    JON: 第一:形容一件東西搶手說something sells like hotcakes, 或者 something is flying off the shelf。
    第二:為買東西通宵露營,叫camp out;
    第三:科技發(fā)燒友是tech-head。
