英语常用口语每天学 第83期:钱飙得太高了
Mary: Three other people started to bid. One called himself "Buddhabuyer", so I knew he meant business. I raised my bid twice, but it kept going up.
Joe: How high did the price go?
Mary: I don't know. I dropped out at $250.
Joe: You didn't watch the end of the auction?
Mary: No. It wasn't the super bargain I thought it was.

玛丽:有三个人开始抢标。一个人还自称是‘佛像买家’,所以我知道他是认真的。我提高了标价两次,但价钱越来越高。
乔:价钱飙到多高?
玛丽:我不知道。我出到两百五十元后就放弃了。
乔:你没看最后标价?
玛丽:没有。这跟我原本以为的物美价廉完全不同。
