4.询问或说明价格

How much is it worth?这个值多少钱?
What does it come to?一共多少钱?
How much do you ask for it?这个你要卖多少钱?
That's very cheap.I'll take/get/have it.那很便宜,就买它了。
The price is marked on the tag,sir.先生,标签上标明了价格。
Is there a price reduction?可以打折吗?
The price depends on the quality.按质论价。

It's priced at...yuan.这个定价为……元。

Can you come down a bit?That's too expensive/dear.你可以便宜一点吗?太贵了。
◎温馨提醒
1.到一个地区或是一个国家购物时,要入乡随俗。在英美国家,人们习惯照价付钱。不过,许多商家为推销商品,有时也低价出售。所以到了这些国家,你可以四处转转,找一家商品质量好而价格又低的商店。
2.当你走进一家商店时,服务员会走过来亲切地和你打招呼,问你“Can I help you?/May I help you?/What can I do for you?”或“Are you looking for something?”等,以表示客气和礼貌。回答时,一般说“I'd like...”。如果你只是想随便看一看,不妨客气地说一声“I'm just looking around a bit.”,这样他(她)们就不会跟着你,会让你在店里随便逛。
3.当你认定商品合适并决定购买时,可以说“I'll take it(them).”,口语中常用take、have或get来代替buy的用法。
