E11 跳蚤市场

E11 Tiàozǎo Shìchǎng

E11 The flea market

安娜和索菲娅决定在跳蚤市场的小摊,出售一些物品,从而为他们的下一个假期准备资金。

Ānnà hé Suǒfēiyà juédìng zài tiàozǎo shìchǎng de xiǎo tān, chūshòu yìxiē wùpǐn, cóng'ér wèi tāmen de xià yígè jiàqī zhǔnbèi zījīn.

Anna and Sophia have decided to sell some items at a stall in a flea market to finance their next holiday.

索菲亚到了安娜的公寓后,就把一堆服装和饰品扔在了地板上。

Suǒfēiyà dàole Annà de gōngyù hòu, jiù bǎ yì duī fúzhuāng hé shìpǐn rēng zàile dìbǎn shàng.

Sophia arrives at Anna’s flat and dumps a heap of clothing and accessories on the floor.

“我的家里简直没地方了。如此彻底地整理我的衣柜真是够折磨的。”   

““Wǒ de jiālǐ jiǎnzhí méi dìfāngle. Rúcǐ chèdǐ de zhěnglǐ wǒ de yīguì zhēnshi gòu zhémó de.”   

“I just don’t have enough room at home. Sorting through my wardrobe so radically was a real torture.”

“从你在购物上花的时间来判断,毫无疑问,你很快又会填满你的储藏室的。”   

Cóng nǐ zài gòuwù shàng huā de shíjiān lái pànduàn, háo wú yíwèn, nǐ hěn kuài yòu huì tián mǎn nǐ de chúcáng shì de.”      

“Judging by the time you spend shopping, I have no doubt that you'll fill your storage up again quickly.”

“当然不是,我已经决定彻底改变自己的行为,而且这次是永久的!我对此可是绝对认真的。”  

Dāngrán búshì, wǒ yǐjīng juédìng chèdǐ gǎibiàn zìjǐ de xíngwéi, érqiě zhè cì shì yǒngjiǔ de! Wǒ duì cǐ kěshì juéduì rènzhēn de.”    

“Definitely not, I've decided to dramatically change my behaviour, and this time for good! I'm deadly serious about it.”

“当然!”安娜大笑着打开了五斗柜。  

“Dāngrán!” Ānnà dà xiàozhe dǎkāile wǔdǒu guì.  

“For sure!” Anna laughs and opens her chest of drawers.

“嗯,你看这件衬衫,胸部太紧了,而且我不喜欢这种样子的了。”  

“Èn, nǐ kàn zhè jiàn chènshān, xiōngbù tài jǐnle, érqiě wǒ bù xǐhuān zhè zhǒng yàngzi dele.”   

“Hmm, look at this blouse, it's too tight at the chest and I don’t like this look anymore.”

“那就卖掉它吧!”这个品牌有很多需求,而且这是一个二手的便宜貨。”  

“Nà jiù màidiào tā ba!” Zhège pǐnpái yǒu hěnduō xūqiú, érqiě zhè shì yígè èrshǒu de piányí huò.”  

“Then sell it! There's a strong demand for the brand and it's a second-hand bargain.”

“但是你看这里的一个圆形小扣子。它已经松了。”  

“Dànshì nǐ kàn zhèlǐ de yígè yuán xíng xiǎo kòuzi. Tā yǐjīng sōngle.”    

“But look at this little round button here. It's loose.”

“别担心,跳蚤市场上的物品经常都是破旧的。”  

“Bié dānxīn, tiàozǎo shìchǎng shàng de wùpǐn jīngcháng dōu shì pòjiù de.”   

“Don’t worry, items at the flea market are often a bit shabby.”

“这台旧打印机呢?”没有墨水了,但它仍然能用。”  

“Zhè tái jiù dǎyìnjī ne?” Méiyǒu mòshuǐle, dàn tā réngrán néng yòng.”    

“And this old printer here? The ink is missing, but it still works.”

“我认为,只要你已经清楚地沟通过了,就没有人会在意的但是它很重。我们如何运它呢?” 

“Wǒ rènwéi, zhǐyào nǐ yǐjīng qīngchǔ dì gōutōng guòle, jiù méiyǒu rén huì zàiyì de dànshì tā hěn zhòng. Wǒmen rúhé yùn tā ne?”

“I don’t think anybody will mind as long as you communicate that clearly, but it does weigh a lot. How can we transport it?”

“是的,我们还是需要一辆车。看看这些硬币收集。许多卖家用这些发财致富呢。”  

“Shì de, wǒmen háishì xūyào yí liàng chē. Kàn kàn zhèxiē yìngbì shōují. Xǔduō màijiā yòng zhèxiē fā cái zhì fù ne.”  

“Well, we'll need a car anyway. Look at this coin collection here. A lot of sellers make a fortune with that.”

“是本收集的。但我认为他不会在不久的将来就出售它们的。”  

“Shì Běn shōují de. Dàn wǒ rènwéi tā bú huì zài bùjiǔ de jiānglái jiù chūshòu tāmen de.” 

“Ben collected them, but I don’t think that he'll want to sell them in the near future.”

索菲亚把这个盒子放下。她看到了一套金属盒和调味料罐子。

Suǒfēiyà bǎ zhège hézi fàngxià. Tā kàndàole yí tào jīnshǔ hé hé tiáowèi liào guànzi.

Sophia puts down the box. She looks at a set of tins and spice jars.

“它们很萌啊!为什么一个盒子上有天使,而另一个盒子上有魔鬼呢?”  

“Tāmen hěn méng a! Wèishénme yígè hézi shàng yǒu tiānshǐ, ér lìng yīgè hézi shàng yǒu móguǐ ne?”  

“These are cute! Why is there an angel on one tin and a devil on the other?”

“我妈妈给它们起名叫“天堂”和“地狱”。“天堂”里装着我的零花钱,而“地狱”里是我必须要吃的苦的维它命药片。我还是一个孩子时,我的饮食很不均衡。那时我经常没有胃口。而且我每天只喝了半公升的水。所以我母亲发明了这些小游戏,它们也令人吃惊地很奏效。”   

“Wǒ māmā gěi tāmen qǐmíng jiào “tiāntáng” hé “dìyù”.“Tiāntáng” lǐ zhuāngzhe wǒ de línghuā qián, ér “dìyù” lǐ shì wǒ bìxū yào chī de de wéitāmìng yàopiàn. Wǒ háishì yígè háizǐshí, wǒ de yǐnshí hěn bù jūnhéng. Nà shí wǒ jīngcháng méiyǒu wèikǒu. Érqiě wǒ měitiān zhǐ hēle bàn gōngshēng de shuǐ. Suǒyǐ wǒ mǔqīn fāmíngle zhèxiē xiǎo yóuxì, tāmen yě lìng rén chījīng de hěn zòuxiào..” 

“My mum named them heaven and hell. The heaven one was holding my pocket money and in the hell one there were bitter vitamin pills I had to take. I didn't have a balanced diet as a child. I had no appetite. I would only drank half a litre of liquid a day back then. So my mum invented these little games which worked amazingly well.”

“你也要卖掉这些装饰品吗?“一个箱子滑向了安娜,是索菲亚推过去的。  

“Nǐ yě yào mài diào zhèxiē zhuāngshì pǐn ma?“ Yígè xiāngzi huá xiàngle Ānnà, shì Suǒfēiyà tuī guòqù de.  

“Do you want to sell these decorations as well?” Sophia slides a box towards Anna.

“我很乐意亲自带它们过去。你知道我对抽象艺术的痴迷。这些都是真正的隐藏的宝藏。这位艺术家有着非常厉害的创造力。他很有天赋。看看这里画得让人惊叹的这些符号。我想我在拍卖目录中看到了类似的东西。” 

“Wǒ hěn lèyì qīnzì dài tāmen guòqù. Nǐ zhīdào wǒ duì chōuxiàng yìshù de chīmí. Zhèxiē dōu shì zhēnzhèng de yǐncáng de bǎozàng. Zhè wèi yìshùjiā yǒuzhe fēicháng lìhài de chuàngzào lì. Tā hěn yǒu tiānfù. Kàn kàn zhèlǐ huà de ràng rén jīngtàn de zhèxiē fúhào. Wǒ xiǎng wǒ zài pāimài mùlù zhòng kàn dàole lèisì de dōngxī.”

“I’d readily take them myself. You know about my obsession with abstract art. They're really hidden treasures. The creativity of the artist is impressive. He's very gifted. Look at these magnificently drawn symbols here. I think I saw something similar in an auction catalogue once.”

安娜好奇地翻看着箱子里的东西。

Ānnà hàoqí de fānkànzhe xiāngzi lǐ de dōngxī. 

Anna browses through the box with curiosity.

“我对这种艺术不是很熟悉。我已经拥有它们有一段时间了。我对它们的来历或艺术家的身份一无所知,但我愿意接受建议。你认为我们应该出售它们吗?”  

“Wǒ duì zhè zhǒng yìshù búshì hěn shúxī. Wǒ yǐjīng yǒngyǒu tāmen yǒu yíduàn shíjiānle. Wǒ duì tāmen de láilì huò yìshùjiā de shēnfèn yī wú suǒ zhī, dàn wǒ yuànyì jiēshòu jiànyì. Nǐ rènwéi wǒmen yīnggāi chūshòu tāmen ma?”  

"I'm not very familiar with this kind of art. I've owned them for some time. I know nothing about their origin or the identity of the artist, but I'm open to suggestions. You think I should sell them?”

“我是真诚地想帮你,所以我要说:这是非常前卫的艺术品,在跳蚤市场出售像这样的东西有点太不寻常了。我的建议是暂时将它们放在一个安全的地方。只把它们向有见识的收藏者出售。我认为你需要一位顾问进行客观评估和价格估算。”   

“Wǒ shì zhēnchéng de xiǎng bāng nǐ, suǒyǐ wǒ yào shuō: Zhè shì fēicháng qiánwèi de yìshù pǐn, zài tiàozǎo shìchǎng chūshòu xiàng zhèyàng de dōngxī yǒudiǎn tài bù xúnchángle. Wǒ de jiànyì shì zànshí jiāng tāmen fàng zài yígè ānquán de dìfāng. Zhǐ bǎ tāmen xiàng yǒu jiànshì de shōucángzhě chūshòu. Wǒ rènwéi nǐ xūyào yí wèi gùwèn jìnxíng kèguān pínggū hé jiàgé gūsuàn.”   

“Let me be sincere: this is cutting-edge art and it's uncommon to sell something like it at a flea market. My recommendation is to put them in a safe place for now. Only offer them to knowledgable collectors. I think you need an adviser for an objective evaluation and price estimation.”

“我认识一个还挺称职的顾问。他可以非正式地向我们提建议,他对市场很了解。”   

“Wǒ rènshí yígè háitǐng chènzhí de gùwèn. Tā kěyǐ fēizhèngshì de xiàng wǒmen tíjiànyì, tā duì shìchǎng hěn liǎojiě.”  

“I know a pretty competent consultant. He can advise us informally, he knows the market well.”
