A:
|
老公，我回来啦。
|
|
|
lǎogōng, wǒ huílái la.
|
|
|
Hubby, I came back.
|
|
B:
|
这么多大包小包，你去购物啦。
|
|
|
zhème duō dàbāoxiǎobāo, nǐ qù gòuwù la.
|
|
|
You have so many big and small bags. You went shopping.
|
|
A:
|
是啊，下班路上看见商场在搞特卖会，就去血拼了一把，老公，看我穿这件好不好看？
|
|
|
shì a, xiàbān lùshang kànjiàn shāngchǎng zài to do tèmàihuì, jiù qù xuèpīn le yī bǎ, lǎogōng, kàn wǒ chuān zhè jiàn hǎo bu hǎokàn?
|
|
|
Yeah, on the way, after I finished work I saw that the shopping mall was having a special sale event and so I went on a shopping spree. Hubby, what do you think about what I am wearing?
|
|
B:
|
好看，不过现在天气这么热，你买羽绒服干嘛？
|
|
|
hǎokàn, bùguò xiànzài tiānqì zhème rè, nǐ mǎi yǔróngfú gànmá?
|
|
|
It looks good. But the weather is so hot right now. Why on earth did you buy a down coat?
|
|
A:
|
原价两千多，这次打折又送券，算下来只要四百多。多划算！看这双靴子好看吗？
|
|
|
yuánjià liǎng qiān duō, zhècì dǎzhé yòu sòng quàn, suàn xiàlai zhǐyào sì bǎi duō. duō huásuàn! kàn zhè shuāng xuēzi hǎokàn ma?
|
|
|
The original price was more than two thousand. It was on sale and they gave a coupon, so it works out to be only four hundred or so. It's such a good deal! Do you think these boots look nice?
|
|
B:
|
又是靴子？我记得你有好多双靴子了。
|
|
|
yòu shì xuēzi? wǒ jìde nǐ yǒu hǎo duō shuāng xuēzi le.
|
|
|
Boots again? I remember you have many pairs of boots.
|
|
A:
|
可是这双特超值，好多人都想要，我抢了半天才抢到。
|
|
|
kěshì zhè shuāng tè chāozhí, hǎo duō rén dōu xiǎng yào, wǒ qiǎng le bàntiān cái qiǎngdào.
|
|
|
But this pair was a steal and many people wanted them. I fought for them for awhile before I could get them.
|
|
B:
|
看看你，被人家忽悠买了一堆不需要的东西，还以为捡了大便宜。你这是被动消费你知道吗？
|
|
|
kàn kan nǐ, bèi rénjiā hūyou mǎi le yīduī bù xūyào de dōngxi, hái yǐwéi jiǎn le dà piányi. nǐ zhè shì bèidòngxiāofèi nǐ zhīdào ma?
|
|
|
Look at you. You have been duped into buying a pile of stuff you don't need, and you think you got a great bargain. Do you realize this is passive consumerism?
|
|
A:
|
什么意思？
|
|
|
shénme yìsi?
|
|
|
What does that mean?
|
|
B:
|
主动消费呢，就是像我这样，有需要了才去买，被动消费呢，就是你这样的，本来根本就没有这个消费需求，被打折啊，促销啊这样的活动冲昏了头脑，产生了消费意愿，买了一大堆用不着的东西。
|
|
|
zhǔdòng xiāofèi ne, jiùshì xiàng wǒ zhèyàng, yǒu xūyào le cái qù mǎi, bèidòng xiāofèi ne, jiùshì nǐ zhèyàng de, běnlái gēnběn jiù méiyǒu zhè ge xiāofèi xūqiú, bèi dǎzhé ā, cùxiāo ā zhèyàng de huódòng chōnghūn le tóunǎo, chǎnshēng le xiāofèi yìyuàn, mǎi le yīdàduī yòngbuzháo de dōngxi.
|
|
|
Active consumerism is just like me: when I need something I go buy it. Passive consumerism is just like you: you don't have the need at all to consume but discounts and sales promotions make you dizzy in the head, create a desire to consume and cause you to buy a huge pile of stuff you won't use.
|
|
A:
|
谁说我买的是用不着的东西。
|
|
|
shéi shuō wǒ mǎi de shì yòngbuzháo de dōngxi.
|
|
|
Who said the things I buy are not useful?
|
|
B:
|
你看看我们家，闲置的东西越来越多，这就是你喜欢被动消费的结果。
|
|
|
nǐ kàn kan wǒmen jiā, xiánzhì de dōngxi yuèláiyuè duō, zhè jiùshì nǐ xǐhuan bèidòng xiāofèi de jiéguǒ.
|
|
|
Look at our home. There are more and more unused things. This is the result of your liking to passively consume.
|
|
C:
|
先生您好，这是您的快递。
|
|
|
xiānsheng nínhǎo, zhè shì nín de kuàidì.
|
|
|
Hello Sir. This is your express delivery.
|
|
A:
|
这么多盒子，你都买了什么啊？
|
|
|
zhème duō hézi, nǐ dōu mǎi le shénme ā?
|
|
|
There're so many boxes. What did you buy?
|
|
B:
|
京东数码购物节，优惠力度很大，我趁着这个机会升级了不少东西。
|
|
|
jīngdōng shùmǎ gòuwù jié, yōuhuì lìdù hěndà, wǒ chèn zhe zhè ge jīhuì shēngjí le bùshǎo dōngxi.
|
|
|
At the JingDong digital shopping festival the discount rate was huge. I took the opportunity to upgrade quite a few things.
|
|
A:
|
哎哟，你这就不是被动消费了？
|
|
|
āiyōu, nǐ zhè jiù bùshì bèidòng xiāofèi le?
|
|
|
Oh my, isn't this passive consumerism?
