地道英語
Serial returner 連環(huán)退貨買家
內(nèi)容簡介
菲菲今天穿了一件漂亮的新外套。確切地說，上個月她每天都穿了一件漂亮的新外套。她怎么買得起？學(xué)習(xí)一個表達(dá)某人經(jīng)常在商店買東西，然后又去商店退貨的短語。

Feifei
大家好！歡迎收聽 BBC英語教學(xué)的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。
Neil
…and me, Neil. Nice coat you were wearing this morning, by the way.
Feifei
Oh, thanks! 在這期節(jié)目里，我們要教給大家一個短語來描述一種特定類型的購物者——他們喜歡把買了的東西退回去，然后把錢拿回來。
Neil
What's wrong with that?
Feifei
如果商品真的有問題，那退貨也沒什么，但是商店，尤其是網(wǎng)上零售商說，有些人經(jīng)常退貨，因此他們損失了很多錢。甚至還有人在用了商品后要求退貨。這些人就被稱為 “serial returners” 連環(huán)退貨買家。
Neil
And this isn't about breakfast cornflakes, is it?
Feifei
No, Neil. 這個短語中的 “serial” 的意思是 “repeat” 重復(fù)。你可能聽過表達(dá) “TV serial” 電視連續(xù)劇，意思就是有很多劇集。
Neil
That was a nice new coat you had on yesterday as well, by the way, Feifei.
Feifei
Thanks.
Neil
Very different from the one you were wearing the day before that… and the one the day before that.
Feifei
哎，你到底想說什么？
Neil
Nothing, nothing… Shall we hear some examples of our expression – 'serial returner'?
Examples
Oh, no! This customer has sent back an order for the fifth time this month. If we don't block these serial returners, we're gonna go out of business!
A: I buy about £400 worth of clothes every month.
B: No way! You must be rich.
A: Not really. I return about £300 worth. I'm one of those serial returners.
And in business, online clothes shops are introducing new measures to make it harder for so-called serial returners to get refunds on their orders.
Feifei
你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學(xué)的 “地道英語”。在這期節(jié)目中，我們教給大家的短語是 “serial returner”。它通常用來形容那些經(jīng)常退貨的人，尤其是網(wǎng)購后退貨的人。
Neil
So, as I was saying, you've had a nice new coat on every day for the last… well, month. Did you win the lottery?
Feifei
No, there is a perfectly innocent explanation.
Neil
Yes. You're a serial returner, aren't you?
Feifei
Absolutely not! 我知道咱們要做一期關(guān)于 “serial returner” 的節(jié)目，所以我覺得我應(yīng)該提前做一些研究……
Neil
Ha! It's very important to do proper research, I agree.
Both
Bye!
Neil
So, which one's your favourite?
Feifei
The pea-green one with the furry collars!
Neil
Are you gonna keep it?
Feifei
Nah – too expensive…
