详细解说

3.详细解说

1.“It is/was the first/second/last time ( that ) +主语 + have/has/had done sth.”表示“这/那是某人第一次(第二次,最后一
次)做某事”。需要注意的是,( that)从句需要用完成时态。例如:It's the first time I have rang a radio programme.(这是我第一次
给收音机节目打电话。)It was the first time that he had lost a game.(那是他第一次输了比赛。)
2.“bring it back for an exchange”表示“拿回来换货”,而“bring it back for a refund”则表示“拿回来退货/退款”。
3.“You've already been most helpful.”表示“你已经帮了我很大的忙了”,其中“most helpful"相当于“very helpful”。

4.文化洗礼

商场失窃

在欧洲,哪个国家的人最喜欢从商店里偷东西?答案是英国人。连续7年,英国都是欧洲商品失窃程度最高的国家。英国小偷们最爱偷的商品是酒、刀片、配件和肉类。根据《全球零售业失窃统计报告》,英国商店里每年都有价值超过15亿英镑的商品被顾客偷走。不过,从全球范围来看,美国人最爱顺手牵羊。美国零售业每年的商品损失高达200亿英镑,其中,员工自盗的商品价值超过了顾客盗窃的价值。
全球顾客盗走210亿英镑
英国的零售业研究中心和美国保点系统公司每年都会发布一份《全球零售业失窃统计报告》。该报告每年都对遍布全球32个国家和地区的800多家零售巨头进行统计。这800多家零售巨头每年的总销售额达到4470t2英镑。
根据报告显示,由于失窃而导致的全球零售业年损失达498亿英镑。其中,由于顾客盗窃导致的损失是210亿英镑,员工盗窃导致的损失是175亿英镑,供应商盗窃和欺诈达31亿英镑,由于会计和管理错误导致的损失达82亿英镑。
圣诞节前后小偷最多
每逢圣诞节前的销售季来临之际,欧美的零售业就要打起十二分精神,防止“损耗”(“损耗”是零售业对失窃的通称)的发生。这是因为零售业的商品“损耗”集中发生在一年一度的圣诞铛售季。在英国,多数商品都是在圣诞节前的四周内被偷走的。在这四周内,平均每天有价值2640万英镑的商品从商店消失。
