Lesson111
MR.FRITH：I like this television very much. How much does it cost?
ASSISTANT：It's the most expensive model in the shop. It costs five hundred pounds.
MRS. FRITH：That's too expensive for us. We can't afford all that money.
ASSISTANT：This model's less expensive than that one. It's only three hundred pounds. But, of course, it's not as good as the expensive one.
MR. FRITH: I don't like this model. The other model's more expensive, but it's worth the money.
MR. FRITH: Can we buy it on instalments?
ASSISTANT：Of course. You can pay a deposit of thirty pounds, and then fourteen pounds a month for three years. MR. FRITH：Do you like it, dear?
MRS. FRITH：I certainly do, but I don't like the price. You always want the best, but we can't afford it. Sometimes you think you're a millionaire!
MR.FRITH：Millionaires don't buy things on instalments!
弗里斯先生：我非常喜欢这台电视机。请问它多少钱?
店 员：这是店里最贵的型号。它的售价是500英镑。
弗里斯夫人：这对我们来说是太贵了。我们花不起那么多钱。
店 员：这种型号的比那种要便宜些。它只要300英镑。
但是，它当然没有价钱高的那种好。
弗里斯先生：我不喜欢这种型号。那一种型号价格是贵一些，但它值这么多钱。
弗里斯先生：我们可以用分期付款的方式购买吗? 店 员：当然可以。您可以先付30英镑定金，然后每月14镑，3年付清。
弗里斯先生：你喜欢吗，亲爱的?
弗里斯夫人：我当然喜欢， 但是我不喜欢这个价钱。你总是要买最好的，可我们买不起。有时候你认为自己是个百万富翁!
弗里斯先生：百万富翁是不会分期付款买东西的!
【知识点讲解】 一. 单词拓展：
1. model 课文中，是模型的意思。如飞机模型(model aeroplane)，轮船模型(model ship)。此外，model还可以表示模特。如走T台的模特 fashion model，平面模特 still model。
2 millionaire 百万富翁 millionaire是个合成词，有million(百万)+aire 组成。
thousand (千)，million(百万)， billion(十亿)，trillion (万亿)。给大家一个英语表达数字的小技巧：表达数字前，拿起笔，从个位数向高位数字作记号，每三位数字为一个单位。如 123，456，789，123 (one hundred twenty three billion,four hundred fifty-six million, seven hundred eighty-nine thousand,one hundred and twenty-three.) 给同学们一个数字：44455899707，想想用英语应该怎么说呢?
3. A be as+adj+as B A跟B一样…… 这是一个比较中的等价句型：A跟B一样……例句：她跟我一样重。She is as heavy as me. 那我跟她一样重，应该怎么说?
如果想表达A不如B时，我们只需要在这个结构中的be动词后面加上not。如她不如我重。She is not as heavy as me. 那要是“我没有她重”。又应该怎么说? 二 【口语学习】购物英语
问价：How much does it cost ?(课文) How much is it?
What's the price ?/Could you tell me its price? 报价：It costs+价格 / It is +价格 还价：It is too expensive/dear The price is a bit high .
I'm afraid I cannot afford it. 恐怕买不起。afford 买得起，付得起钱 Would you low it down? 能不能低一点?
打折：give sb 百分数 discount 打折 如：打八折 give 20% discount 折扣额=1-百分数 如：打七折，怎样?What about 30% discount?
付款：1)现金付款 pay in cash 2) 刷卡 pay in credit
3)分期付款 buy sth on instalment 4)支付定金 pay/put down a deposit
