JESSICA在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是怡茹要问的：抢手货。 JESSICA: Hey 怡茹，how's it going? YR: Oh, hey JESSICA..我…我好困阿…困死我了… JESSICA: Didn't you sleep well last night? YR: Sleep well? 我压根就没睡!!! 我男朋友昨天拉着我陪他去买iPhone 4S, 可现在这最新的iPhone特抢手! 对了，JESSICA，这种大家都想要的抢手货用美语怎么说啊? JESSICA: You can say it sells like hotcakes. Hotcakes is spelled h-o-t-c-a-k-e-s, hotcakes. If you say something sells like hotcakes, it means it is sold quickly and in large numbers. YR: 没错! The new iPhone 4S sold like hotcakes! 新的iPhone 4S 绝对是抢手货! JESSICA: There's actually another way of saying it, you can say: the new iPhone 4S is flying off the shelf! Shelf is spelled s-h-e-l-f, shelf, 是货架的意思。Fly off the shelf, 就是说一件东西卖得特别好。 YR: 店员还特别告诉我们，当天晚上他们会进新货，建议我们半夜就去排队，这样就能保证一大早开门的时候买到最新的iPhone了…所以我们大半夜就搬着小椅子守在苹果店门口…. JESSICA: You camped out last night! YR: Camp out? |
