鎢制品商務英語實用名句詳解

1、a buyer's market買方市場

market在這裏是"行情"的意思。買方市場是有利于購買者的行情。與之相對的是a seller's market(賣方市場)。

A: Have you bought the house?妳已買房子了嗎?

B: I don't know how to choose it. There are a lot of apartments on sale.我不知道該怎麽辦，那麽多房子，眼都挑花了。

A: It is a buyer's market, you know.現在是買方市場嘛!

2、a country mile壹段很長的距離

該習語多用在美國口語中，名詞country有"農場"的意思。在美國，由于科技比較發達，農場往往都很大。這些農場總能給人以遼闊、遙遠之感。故該習語用country來指"距離之遠"。

A: Is the house close to the central city?那房子*著市中心嗎?

B: It is a country mile from the Central Park. But it won't be a problem since you drive.離中央公園遠著呢。可既然妳開車這就不成問題了。

A: The distance is not really a problem. The real problem is whether I can afford it.遠近到不是問題，問題是我是不是買得起。

B: Don't worry about it. It's a real bargain.不用擔心，很便宜的。

3、a drug on the market滯銷商品，滯銷貨，供應過剩的商品

drug的本義是"麻醉藥品"，而麻醉藥品是不能在市場上公開出售的，因此該詞常常用來指"滯銷貨"。

A: The things my son bought home were usually a drug on the market for adults.我兒子買回來的東西在咱們眼裏都是賣不出去的。

B: That's not abnormal for a youngster. Young people all seems to be crazy about such things.這對年輕來說沒什麽不正常的。年輕人看起來對這些東西都非常感興趣。

A: The real problem is that he's suing my money for them.問題是他那我的錢去買的呀。

B: He's your son, after all. Who else's money do you suppose him to use?他畢竟是妳的兒子呀。妳想讓他拿誰的錢去買呢

4、a fair shake公平的待遇

shake在口語中有"處置、對待"的意思。當fair的意思爲"公平的"時，這個短語的意思是"順利的、有意的"時，它的意思就是"好機會"。

A: Bob, can you ever make a thing right?鮑勃，妳就不能做對壹件事嗎?

B: Yes, I can and I am doing the right thing.我能，而且我現在幹的就是對的。

A: You should go and see how Allan handles it.妳真該去看看阿倫是怎麽幹活的。

fat本是"很多"的意思，但在這裏用了反意，表示"微小的機會";表示同樣意義的短語還有a fat lot，指"很少"。

B: I have a feeling that is it doomed to fail.我感覺它注定要失敗。
