情景对话
Mary: I'm more worried about snipers.

Joe: Snipers?

Mary: Sniping is when someone makes a bid at the very last minute to steal something for a bargain price.

Joe: So you're afraid someone is going to snipe your Buddha?

Mary: I heard about a software program called TurboBid. It automatically submits a bid with just a few seconds to go in an auction.

Joe: Count me out. I can do without shills and snipers and turbo-bidders.

参考译文
玛丽：我倒比较担心偷袭者。

乔：偷袭者？

玛丽：‘偷袭’就是当有人快要标到某样东西的最后一刻，跑去抢标。

乔：所以你怕有人会偷袭你的佛像？

玛丽：我还听说有一种叫做‘特棒标’的软件。这软件会在结标前几秒自动抢标。

乔：我没兴趣。不用炒手、偷袭者和特棒标软件，我也能标到物品。
