你將在本課程中學到說英語時，如何使用俚語 it's a steal

'It's a steal' means you are buying something at a very good price or at a price that's surprisingly low.

It's a steal 意味著你用非常好、或低於尋常的價格買到東西

I also hear people saying 'shopping for a steal', does it mean the same?

我還聽到別人說shopping for a steal，也是相同的意思嗎？

Yes, it means the price is very cheap! It also means a good bargain.

是的，這意味價格非常便宜！也就是一筆很棒的交易

That's the reason shops advertise 'these prices are a steal', right?

這就是廣告說的「就像是不用錢似的」，對吧？

Exactly! That means you can buy at such cheap prices that you'll feel as if you're almost stealing it! By the way, you look great in those jeans!

完全正確！這意味著你買東西就像是偷的一樣，完全不用花錢！順便一提，你穿這條牛仔褲真好看！

這是在Armani五折買的，只要70塊美金

哇，太划算了，我今天打算去血拼的！

Alright! But let's listen to some conversations before you go shopping.
