今天到匯豐銀行提款,準備到街角的兌換店把英磅換為歐元。怎知原來銀行裡有一間THOMAS COOK,但常理告訴我THOMAS COOK這些大鋪的匯率是划不來的,但既然經過,便姑且詢問一下。
我:WHAT IS THE RATE FOR EURO? I BUY FROM YOU. (如我向你買歐元,請問匯價?)
店員:1.29.
我搖搖頭:OH, THANKS.(謝謝。)
[由於街角的兌換店是1.364,當然不與他做買賣啦。]
店員:WHAT CAN YOU GET FROM OTHERS?(別的店舖給你什麼價位?)
我:1.364, JUST OUTSIDE.(就在街角的兌換店是1.364啊!)
店員計算一輪,說:YES, I CAN DO IT, BUT ONLY FOR LARGE NOTES. (可以,但要是大額交易。)
我:WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY LARGE NOTES? (大額是什麼意思呢?)
店員:500 POUNDS. (500磅。)
其實我根本未決定兌換多少錢,所以我說:NO, THANKS.(那不用了。)
店員:HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT? (那你想換多少?)
我隨口說:300.
店員又再計算一輪:OKAY.(可以。)
估不倒堂堂的THOMAS COOK都可議價,我見他那麼有誠意,於是交易成功了。
