点任意英文单词可看释义，弹层里可以「＋ 生词本」把它加入复习。
My aunt loves a red sign that says half price, and she buys more on those days.
我阿姨最爱那种写着半价的红牌子，那种日子她买得特别多。
Last year she got a coat for forty and was proud of it for a year.
去年她四十块买了一件外套，得意了整整一年。
This winter I saw the same coat. The price before the sale was forty-five.
今年冬天我又看到同一件。打折前的标价是四十五。
So the sign saved her five, not sixty, and she wore the coat twice, because it is too warm for the bus.
也就是说那个牌子替她省了五块，不是六十块，而那件外套她只穿过两次，因为穿着它挤公交太热。
When I asked, she laughed and said she knew, but a sale makes people feel they are winning.
我问她，她笑着说她知道，可是一打折人就觉得自己赢了。
Now I write down what a thing costs before I go out, because a low number makes us stop asking what we need.
现在我出门前先把东西本来的价钱记下来，因为一个低的数字会让我们不再问自己到底需不需要。
