英語常用口語每天學 第83期:錢飆得太高了
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.

瑪麗:有三個人開始搶標。一個人還自稱是‘佛像買家’,所以我知道他是認真的。我提高了標價兩次,但價錢越來越高。
喬:價錢飆到多高?
瑪麗:我不知道。我出到兩百五十元后就放棄了。
喬:你沒看最後標價?
瑪麗:沒有。這跟我原本以爲的物美價廉完全不同。
