Todd: A flea market?
托德：跳蚤市场？
Melissa: Yes.
梅丽莎：对eJ_UG+p,92ZHQtB(。
Todd: Oh, yeah.
托德：好6)JZq5vYmsd*kQs.。
Melissa: At the beachside, and there's going to be lots of different eco-friendly stuff going on there, so it's kind of a mix of a reuse, resell your old stuff. Get new stuff for cheap.
梅丽莎：在海边举行，到时会有很多环保物品，在那里可以对旧物品进行再利用和转卖BVkfb4r8As*4。还可以用便宜的价格买到全新的物品jB)Ze|d3qt82v#@nGR9。
Todd: OK, so for people who might not be familiar with the term flea market, can you explain?
托德：好，可能有些人不太了解跳蚤市场，你能解释一下吗？
Melissa: A flea market is basically a place where people can take old clothes, old utensils, forks, spoons, knives, things like that from the kitchen, and other housewares either sell them or give them away at a cheap price, and it's fun because the customers ... a lot of them like to come and look at all the different stuff and even maybe haggle some prices, so try to get you to give a lower price, or if you're trying to get rid of a lot of stuff you might try to get the customer to take two things for the price of one. Things like that.
梅丽莎：人们可以在跳蚤市场低价出售旧衣服、旧用具还有叉子、勺、刀等旧的厨房用具，那里很有意思，有很多人喜欢去跳蚤市场，寻找他们需要的东西，还可以讨价还价，尽量用更低的价格买到需要的东西，如果卖家要出售的旧物品比较多，那你可以用一件东西的价格买到两样物品FI*qjDo;[9@CN4I6j。大概就是这样A)1YUjoIkd_;e3。
Todd: Yeah, right. Like when I was a kid I used to always go to flea marts, or flea markets with my grandparents, and what I thought was great is that you can haggle.
托德：对，没错3r_SL(-Nv_MI^)Zo~。我小时候经常和我祖父母一起去跳蚤市场，因为可以砍价，所以我觉得很不错h!7RB(FQK)08^Vjpb-。
Melissa: Yeah.
梅丽莎：对!O-J5LeTyr。
Todd: Right? Cause in the U.S. you can't haggle at a store.
托德：对吧？因为美国的商店不能讨价还价w^&F2vZ42g=mWo-mMXse。
Melissa: Yeah, exactly. And I like doing that when I'm travelling ... haggling. Trying to get a good deal, so it's fun to do it at a flea market when you're selling your own stuff.
梅丽莎：对，没错%_vwa=c-I3#X^WNL5。我在旅行的时候一般都会砍价&pF+KY3[2y&86THyCNo。因为要尽量买到便宜货，在跳蚤市场转卖自己的旧东西很好玩SmsWG50+2fNlnG。
Todd: So, this weekend, are you selling or buying?
托德：那这周末你是准备卖东西还是买东西？
Melissa: Well, I actually don't have that much stuff to sell cause I've recently moved so I've gotten rid of a lot of stuff I don't need, but I do plan bring some old pieces of clothing and things like that that I want to get rid of, and yeah, I'm really into flea markets and old thrift stores and stuff like that, so I just like to see what people have. If there's something cool, I might buy it.
梅丽莎：我没有太多的旧物品要转卖，因为我刚搬家不久，搬家时扔了很多不需要的东西，不过我打算拿几件不需要的旧衣服去跳蚤市场上卖，我真的很喜欢跳蚤市场和旧货店这样的地方，因为我对其他人的东西感兴趣lSOq(L;d3%~lt。如果我看到不错的东西，那我可能会买下来!5#x&~]@KtYiUZ-BV[。
