A This place is great. I'm surprised they have so much.

这地方好棒哦！我很惊讶这里有这么多的东西。

B Yes, but it takes a while to find things.It's not organized as carefully as a regular store.

是啊，但找东西需要一点时间就是了。这里不像一般的店那样井然有序。

A I never shopped in an outlet before. We don't have any in my hometown.Why do they call it an "outlet"?

我从来没有逛过出清大卖场。我们家乡没有这样的大卖场。为什么叫做"大卖场"呢？

B Sometimes a clothes company makes too many of one item.They can't sell it all in their regular stores. So they send the overstock to an outlet.That's why they call it an outlet.It's a store that "let's out" products the company can't sell in regular stores.

有时候成衣公司生产过量。不能在各店销完，只好把存货送到大卖场来。所以叫做"出清"。就是商家把各店没卖出去的货清出去。

A And they have faulty products here too.

这里也有瑕疪品。

B Yes. A faulty product may be a shirt that has some problem.Or a pair of pants that is ripped a little.Sometimes the fault is very small. So it's a good deal to buy it.Sometimes, if you have a needle and thread, you can fix it yourself.

是的，"瑕疵品"可能是一件有缺陷的衬衫。或是一条有破洞的裤子。有时候瑕疪很小，所以很值得买的。如果你有针线，可以买回家再做修补。

A I like to sew, so that's easy for me.I think it's a really good deal. Some of these shirts have only one tiny mistake on them.

我喜欢缝衣服，这难不倒我。我觉得是蛮值得的，这里的一些衬衫只是有一点小瑕疪。

B I know.So it's a good idea to shop in an outlet sometimes. You can save a lot of money.

我知道。有时候在大卖场购物是一个好主意，你可以省很多钱。

A That's great for me.Now that Steve and I have the baby, we want to save as much as we can.

对我来说，实在是太棒了。现在史提夫和我有小孩，我们要尽量省钱。

B Cash or credit, Ma'am?

太太，付现金或刷卡？

A Credit.

刷卡。

B Wow! How many of those sweatshirts are you buying?

哇，你买多少件汗衫呢？

A I have six here.

六件。

B Six? Why do you need so many?

六件？为什么你需要这么多呢？

A They're such a good deal.I'm buying one for Steve, one for his brother Rick,one for my dad, two for my sisters, and one for me.

它们很便宜。一件给史提夫，一件给他的弟弟瑞克。一件给我爸爸，两件给我妹妹，还有一件是我的。

B You really know how to use an outlet store!

你真的很会逛大卖场！

A I ought to make the most of it while I'm here, don't you think?

我当然要好好把握机会，不是吗？

B Sure. You're smart.

当然，你真聪明。
