And I'm Michael from "Popping Bottles English"! And the topic of today's video is

我是英文易開罐的 Michael，今天我們要介紹給大家的

bbb

Taiwanese convenience store culture!

主題，就是台灣的超商文化

That's right!

嗯

I think Taiwanese convenience stores are really convenient.

我覺得台灣的便利商店真的非常便利

Yeah! You can do anything there. You can pay your phone bills,

嗯，什麼都可以做，你可以繳電話費啊

you can buy food — everything!

可以買東西吃啊，什麼都可以做

The only think you can't do there is sleep.

只差不能在裡面睡覺而已了

Maybe you could...

可能也可以

Yeah maybe you could!

可能也可以

So today, aside from teaching some English,

那今天呢，我們除了教大家超商的英文外

- we're also going to play some games, right? - Right!

- 我們還有一些遊戲對不對？- 嗯

The games will be split up into three rounds. In the first round,

那我們會分成三關。第一關我們要做的就是

we're going to do some convenience store trivia!

超商知識比一比

In the second round, we'll have a convenience store shopping spree lightning round!

第二關是指定商品，限時採購

Ugh, such a long name!

- 好長的名字

And in the third round, we have our popular item

- 第三關就是我們的超人氣商品

final price showdown!

終極密碼估價賽

- Are you ready? - Ready.

- 你準備好了嗎？ - 好了

Let's go!

走吧！

Since we're English channels,

我們身為一個英文頻道，還是要

we still have to teach some English, so I'll try to speak quickly so that we can start eating!

來教一點英文，雖然我想要講快一點，錄一下就可以吃東西了

We're teaching 4 English terms you can use at a convenience store.

就教四個，超商會用到的英文

The first one is: "check out" or "ring up."

第一個是："check out" or "ring up"

So what's the difference between

那 check out 跟 ring up

"check out" and "ring up?" They both refer to buying stuff.

有什麼差別？都是結帳

To "check out" is usually what you would say as a customer.

就是，check out 比較是客人會用的

Oh, so when you're buying stuff, you'd say "Let's go check out."

哦所以去買東西，我們買好了就可以 Let's go check out.

- Yeah, let's go check out. - And if you're getting ready, and the customer is ready to check out

- Yeah, let's go check out.- 你在整理東西，然後客人就要去結帳了

you can say "I'll ring you up there."

你就說 I'll ring you up there.

- I'll ring you up over there. - Right. That's what the cashier would say.

- 我去那邊幫你結帳- 對，就是 cashier 會講的話

- The second one is "receipt." - So many people mispronounce this

- 第二個是 receipt- 這個是很多人會唸錯誒

because it's so hard to spell, right?

因為它的拼法好難哦，對不對

- It has a "p"! - It has a "p"! Do you pronounce the "p"?

- 有個 p - 有個 p，那個 p，要念出來嗎？

- No. - Don't pronounce it! How do you say it?

- 不行 - 不行唸出來，所以就直接唸什麼就好了？

- Receipt. - Just "receipt."

- receipt - receipt 就好了

Also, make sure you be careful, because I've heard

還有要小心，因為我聽過

- some people call it an "invoice." - When you're online shopping

- 有一些人會說 invoice - online shopping

on websites like Shoppee and whatnot,

然後那種大公司，蝦皮什麼的

they email you an invoice. But if you're at a convenience store,

會寄給你的東西。如果在超商裡

it's just called a receipt.

我們要說收據，直接就說 receipt 就可以了

- The third one is "change." - Change.

- 第三個是 change - 就是零錢

So the cashier will say "Here's your change."

所以那個店員可能會跟你說 Here's your change.

So if you're abroad,

所以在國外呢，如果你不想要

and you don't want the change,

拿那個零錢，然後或者是你想要

- and you want to give a tip, you can just say... - Oh, you can say

- 給小費，你就可以跟他說 ... - 噢，你就可以說

- "Keep the change." - Keep the change. Right, "keep the change."

- Keep the change. - Keep the change. 對，零錢留著

- The fourth one is "on sale." - "On sale" just means

- 第四個是：on sale - on sale，就是在

it has a "special price," and some common types of sales are

特價中嘛，那特價常見的有

"buy one get one free." This just means when you buy you one,

buy one get one free，也就是買一送一。買一個就可以

they will give you another one for free.

得到一個免費的，就是買一送一

In addition to "buy one get one free", there's also

那除了買一送一還有另外一種活動很常見，就是

"buy one get one half off," how do you say that?

第二件半價，叫什麼？

- "Buy one get one half off." - That one is so long!

- 就是 buy one, get one half off - 那好長哦！

And so hard to read!

- 不好唸，到底有什麼，有什麼比較

Is there a shorter version?

比較短的縮寫嗎？

This one doesn't, but the first one does.

這個是沒有，但是第一個

- Only the first one does? - Yeah.

- 第一個才有縮寫嗎？ - 有，對

For "buy one get one," you can just say

buy one get one，你可以說

- "bogo." - "Bogo," buy one get one.

- bogo- bogo, buy one get one

So in the future, let's just stick to "buy one get one free."

那以後還是都買一送一好了，拜託

That second one is just too hard to say.

我覺得第二件五折太難唸了

Now let's do some convenience store trivia!

我們先來進行一個，知識王的 PK

Let's see who has a better knowledge

看對於我，還是 Kelsi 對這些台灣

of Taiwanese convenience store trivia!

超商的小常識比較了解

The answer is false!

答案是 X

Awesome!

太好了

I know this one already, you go ahead.

這個我很有把握，你先說

Why?

為什麼？

- I'm just awesome. - You looked it up, didn't you?

- 我很厲害啊 - 你是不是先查了

- Oh jeez, I have no idea. The US? - Yup, the US.

- 啊，我不知道啊，美國嗎？- 對，美國

- Oh really? - It started in the US,

- 真的啊？- 它是一開始在美國

and then it went to Japan, and a lot of people think

然後後來去日本，那我們大家會覺得是日本

it was original Japanese because we bought the distribution rights from them or something.

好像是因為我們是直接跟日本代理還什麼的

The answer is false!

- 答案是 X

- Ha! - What? How?!

- 蛤！- 怎麼會是

- Then where is it? - Number one is Korea

- 不然是哪裡？- 其實是韓國，第一名是韓國

- I didn't even think of Korea. - I didn't either.

- 我沒想過是韓國誒 - 我也沒想過

- B! This is a B. - Is this an A?

- B，這個是 B - 這個是 A 嗎？

Kelsi got it right!

好，Kelsi 答對了

- Told ya! And you were so confident. - No no no

- 你看，還那麼有自信- 沒有沒有沒有

Because it's more expensive!

沒有，因為比較貴啊

That's why I said it's definitely A.

所以我就想說一定是這個

In fact, the most purchased product category

- 其實，最多人買的項目

- is drinks... - But money-wise it's alcohol.

- 是飲料沒錯- 但是錢最多的是酒

Yeah, just like Kelsi mentioned.

對，就像 Kelsi 說的

- Logic. - I'm not so good when it comes to logic.

- 邏輯- 邏輯不行

B?

B？

I definitely won this one.

這我應該贏了吧？

No way.

不可能

Kelsi is right!

Kelsi 答對了

- I think it's A. - Me too. - You are both correct!

- 我覺得是 A- 我也覺得是 A- 兩個都答對了

- Yeah, cause I have no idea what the third one is. - I know the English name!

- 嗯，因為第三個我根本不知道是什麼- 我知道它的英文

Rilakkuma!

He's so cute.

它很可愛

I only watch... other... Japanese videos. Wait, no, not those ones.
