large company s board meeting in my life but feel certain that the discussion often takes the following lines The cost of producing a new for example toothpaste would make 80p the decent price for it so we will market it at 1 20 It is not a bad toothpaste not specially good either but not bad and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with but the attraction of novelty soon fades so sales will fall When that starts to happen we will reduce the price to 1 15 And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it whereupon people will rush to buy it even though it still costs about forty three percent more than its fair price 我从未参加过任何一家大型公司的董事会议 但可以肯定这样的会总是围绕以下事宜展开 以 牙膏为例 生产这种新产品的成本费 80 便士为其合理价格 市场价格为 1 英镑 20 便士 这种 牙膏不算很差 尽管没什么特别 也还过得去 加之人们乐于尝试新事物的心理 因此起初它 销量会很可观 但是新鲜的吸引力一过 销量自会下跌 于是我们将价格降到 1 英镑 15 便士 还打着甩货的幌子贴出 买一盒牙膏省五便士 的海报 人们则争先恐后地抢购 尽管抢购价 比正常价位高出大约 43 summary The writer illustrates how a bargain may be created by modern businessmen Instead of selling the goods at a reasonable price they try to sell at a higher price than its real worth 1 I have never attended a large company s board meeting in my life but feel certain that the discussion often takes the following lines board meeting meeting of the directors of a company board n a body of people who control and direct a company the discussion often takes the following lines the discussion usually proceeds in the following way 2 Toothpaste would make 80p the decent price for it so we will market it at 1 20 80p 80pence One hundred pence makes a pound decent price fair price market v to sell She went to the street to market some fruits Book 3 unit 6 Bargains 5 Note Some words can function as both a noun and a verb such as record cost paint control 3 But the attraction of novelty soon fades novelty n the quality of being different new and unusual a new and unusual thing conceptipn etc Visitors were impressed by the novelty of the car design uncountable Getting up at four o clock was a novelty to the children and they enjoyed it countable fade v to go slowly out of view hearing or the memory All memory of her childhood faded from her mind 5 whereupon people will rush to buy it even though it still costs about forty three percent more than its fair price whereupon ad as a result of an event This is an old fashioned word equal to the structure upon which at which His business was shut down whereupon upon which he returned to his native town There was no means whereby the boy could get out of the hollowed tree trunk The company gave the reasons wherefore it produced Ageing Suit We are forbidden to enter the room wherein my father practices When a splash of bright orange caught my eye I remembered the tree whereof my neighbor once spoke Para 3 Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF What breathtaking impertinence to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or dog food or whatever Even the poorest old age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult but he doesn t A bargain must not be missed To be offered a gift of one penny is like being invited to dinner and offered one single pea tastily cooked and nothing else Even if it represented a real reduction it would be an insult Still people say one has to have washing powder or whatever and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper When I was a boy in Hungary a man was accused of murdering someone for the sake of one pengo the equivalent of a shilling and pleaded guilty The judge was outraged To kill a man for a shilling What can you say in your defence The murderer replied A shilling here a shilling there And that s what today s shopper says too A penny here a penny there 有时不是省 5 便士 而只是省 1 便士而已 只要您购买香皂 洗衣粉 狗食或其他商品均可享 受 1 便士的优惠 这样的广告是一种让人难以忍受的屈辱 即使是最穷困的高龄养老金领取 者也应当认为这是一种侮辱行为 然而却没有人这样想 甩货是不能错过的嘛 而这 1 便士的 礼物就像你应邀去参加一场丰盛的晚宴却只提供一粒烹饪考究的豌豆 即使 1 便士真实地反映 了产品的降价 可它仍然是一种侮辱 然而 人们会说 反正我们不能没有洗衣粉这样的东西 还是买那个能省 1 便士的好了 记得当我在匈牙利时 还是个孩子 有一个人就因为 1 pengo 等值于 1 先令 而被指控谋杀 并且他认了罪 法官义愤填膺 就为了 1 先令去杀人 你 还要为自己辩护什么 凶手答道 这儿 1 先令 那儿 1 先令 这也正是今天的商家所说 这儿 1 便士 那儿 1 便士 summary The third to sixth paragraphs The writer explores what is known as the consumer psychology Consumers tend to believe that they can save money by getting even the slightest discount and this often results in absurd purchases of unnecessary things 1 What breathtaking impertinence to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or dog food or whatever word formation breath n taking present participle exciting causing awe Book 3 unit 6 Bargains 6 some examples are timesaving 节省时间的 eye catching 引人注目地 hair

swimming or whatever 2 Even the poorest old age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult but he doesn t explanation It can be inferred from the sentence that bargains usually carry the implication that they are meant for the poor who are assumed to be eager for bargains even though the price reduction is as insignificant as 5p or even 1p 3 Still people say one has to have washing powder or whatever and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper may might as well it is described to do sth even though one may feel reluctant to do so All the tickets for this week are sold out and we might as well get tickets for next week s performance 4 When I was a boy in Hungary a man was accused of murdering someone for the sake of the pengo the equivalent of a shilling and pleaded guilty accuse sb of

be missed so they bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren When the sugar arrived they didn t know where to store it until they realised that their loo was a very spacious one So that was where they piled up their sugar Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee but the loo became extremely sticky 由于商品的贱价出售 有人则大批量购买 我听说有一对夫妇忍不住购买了大量的糖 他们认 为这是万万不能错过这捡大便宜的好时机 于是买足了供他们一辈子用的糖 就连他们的孩子 们和子孙都够用了 可当糖运到家中时 他们意识到没有地方储存 直到发现卫生间还算宽敞 糖理所当然被堆在那里 每当他们往客人咖啡里加糖时 不仅客人总觉得古怪 而且连卫生间 也变得粘粘糊糊的 1 Some people buy in bulk because it is cheaper in bulk in large amounts loose not packed in boxes tins etc They often buy cloth in bulk These oranges must be shipped in bulk The buck of the work has already been done 2 So that was where they piled up their sugar pile up accumulate of a number of vehicles crashing into each other My work keeps piling up At traffic jam many cars and buses pile up 3 but the loo became extremely sticky explanation Since it stored so much sugar the toilet is so sticky The writer is making fun of the couple who hoarded large quantities of sugar in their bathroom loo toilet an informal word Para 7 To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer When greedy fools fall for this trick it serves them right All the same if bargains were prohibited by law our standard of living would immediately rise by 7 39 per cent 主动甩卖是一种商业诡计 使穷人变得更穷 如果那些贪婪的傻子上当受骗 那也是活该 无 论如何 如果甩卖被依法禁止的话 我们的生活标准会顺势上涨 7 39 个百分点 1 When greedy fools fall for this trick it serves them right
