[quote]原文由 [B]happyjyl[/B] 发表: [quote]原文由 [B]wujianwei[/B] 发表: thirteen pounds of coffee at 33 cents 这个句型不会,虽然感觉应该是33分一磅的咖啡13磅,但是感觉买东西的人又应该不会这么说,这次如果要我来翻的话我自己都会觉得看着不舒服,还是等高手来翻吧。[/quote] 你上面提到的那种用法是可以的。实际上应该是thirteen pounds of coffee at 33 cents a pound.这里的a pound省略掉了。这里的at也可以换成for。[/quote] 我不是这个意思,我的意思是说,去买东西的人怎么会把价格报给卖东西的人,价格应该是卖的人报的

小孩有一份家庭作业是一道计算题,小伙不愿做就想了个办法,把作业上题按照数值到商店去买东西,最后店员计算出的总数就是他要得答案,聪明

笑话不好笑。试想,买东西的一方指定价格,这是什么样的规则?呵呵。
