Bargain

　　1. Where can you bargain?Why?

　　I usually bargain in some street markets, because the sellers there just sell some small items, which is mostly made by themselves, or they can sell their goods at any price they like, so I am able to bargain with them and then purchase something at a lower price.

　　我通常会在一些街边市场讨价还价，因为那里的卖家只是卖一些小商品，而这些小商品大多都是自己做的，所以只要他们愿意就可以任意价格卖出自己的商品，所以我能够和他们讨价还价，然后以较低的价格购买一些东西。

　　2. How do you bargain?

　　Firstly, I like to ask "Is there any discount in the shop". If yes, I usually ask for 10% more off or want to get a luckier number, which is a little lower than the original selling price. If there's no discount at all, I'd like to tell the sellers I would recommend this shop to all of my friends and ask them to buy something in the shop later, so may I get a lower price today.

　　首先，我喜欢问 "店里有没有优惠"。如果有，我一般会要求再打9折，或者想得到一个吉祥数字价格，只要比原售价低一点。如果完全没有折扣，我想告诉卖家，我会把这家店推荐给我所有的朋友，让他们以后在店里买东西，这样大概我今天能买到更低的价格。

　　3. Do Chinese people bargain?

　　Of course, yes, we love bargaining with others since the sellers want to sell their products at a higher price, while the buyers want to purchase the goods at a lower cost. Moreover, most Chinese are good at math, so we gonna try our best to combine different kinds of coupons and manage to get the lowest price of one product.

　　当然，是的，我们喜欢和别人讨价还价，因为卖家想以更高的价格出售自己的产品，而买家则想以更低的成本购买商品。而且，大多数中国人的数学能力都很强，所以我们会尽力把不同种类的优惠券组合起来，设法让一个产品的价格降到最低。

　　4. What do you think of bargain?

　　The bargain is increasingly unusually in our daily life. Due to the market-oriented economy, the price of various products is gradually fixed in retailers or online shops, and there will be no more possibilities that consumers could bargain again. However, because of the transparent information of products online, we could compare different types of goods instead, which is convenient and makes the market more equitable.

　　讨价还价在我们的日常生活中越来越少见。由于市场经济的发展，各种产品的价格在零售商或网店中逐渐固定下来，消费者再讨价还价的可能性就不大了。但是，由于网上产品信息的透明化，我们可以对不同类型的商品进行比较，既方便，又使市场更加公平。
