If you want to buy something at the market in China, you should remember that you can buy it at least half the initial price if you know how.

如果你想在中國市場上買東西，你應該記住：只要你知道如何砍價，你至少可以買到開價的一半價格的物品。

1. Look around the market and choose what you want to buy. To ask what something is in Chinese, ask what’s this, or ’Zhe shi shenme?’

一、環顧市場四周找到你要買的東西，然后用中文問：“這是什么?”

2. Ask the price. Even if you think the price is cheap, it’s not. If you look like a foreigner, the vendor will automatically offer a price several times greater than the price offered to locals. You should pretend to be surprised or outraged.

二、問價：即便你認為價格便宜，也不要表現出來。如果你看上去就像個老外，小販們會很自然地給你一個比給當地人貴好幾倍的價格，你應該假裝很驚訝或是很氣憤。

3.Offer 1/5 the price. They might be angry or pretend not to want to sell it.

三、還一個五分之一的價格——他們也許會生氣或者是假裝不想賣給你。

4.Don’t worry. Just leave. They will call you and offer a middle price.

四、不要擔心，就此離開——他們會叫住你給你一個半價。

5.Offer the same price one more time. They might offer a lower price than before.

五、再一次堅持你先前給出的價格——他們可能會給你一個比半價更低的價格。

6.Do it again and again. You could offer a little higher price. After the haggling you should be able to buy it at half off, or more, of the first price.

六、如此這般一次次還價——你可以還一個稍高點的價格。經過幾次討價還價你就可以買到其開價的一半、甚至更低價格的東西。
