記者（廣州翻譯公司）專(zhuān)訪倫敦二手市場(chǎng)

Helen: This street is about a mile long.

Zo?: It’s full of stalls.

Helen: And it’s one of the best known street markets in the UK.

Zo?: 這條街就是倫敦的Portobello Market, 真正的street market. 市場(chǎng)。

Helen: Hello, I’m Helen. Welcome to On the Town from BBC Learning English.

Zo?: 大家好，我是劉佳。在我們今天的BBC Learning English節(jié)目當(dāng)中，我們回來(lái)給大家好好介紹一下倫敦市中心最有名的二手貨市場(chǎng)Portobello Market 波多貝露市場(chǎng)。

Helen: What does Portobello Market mean to people? Here’s what one of them had to say.

Portobello Road Market is a very lively, very vibrant, quite raw, quite over priced, very multi cultural, very ethnic, long winding road, where you can buy anything, providing it’s old and second hand.

Zo?+Helen: 這位先生說(shuō)到點(diǎn)上了。他用了很多個(gè)非常來(lái)形容波多貝露市集的特點(diǎn)。非常熱鬧充滿了生氣 (very lively)，有著動(dòng)感（very vibrant），比較原始 (quite raw), 多元文化 （multicultural ）, 民族色彩 (ethnic)。 不過(guò)他也覺(jué)得波多貝露市集上有的東西標(biāo)價(jià)過(guò)高 (overpriced)。 最重要的特點(diǎn)是你在這兒什么東西都能買(mǎi)到 (you can buy anything)，只要是二手舊貨 (that’s right, this is a market for old and second hand goods.)

Portobello Road Market is a very lively, very vibrant, quite raw, quite over priced, very multi cultural, very ethnic, long winding road, where you can buy anything, providing it’s old and second hand.

Helen: The market has lots of stalls selling all kinds of things.

Zo?: Stall 就是小攤，這些小攤雖然地方不大，可能只有幾平米，可是也都掛滿了各種各樣稀奇古怪的東西。

Helen: Jonathan has an antique map stall in the Portobello market. So what sort of unique interesting things can you find at the market? Jonathan gave us some ideas.

Insert

Well, as I said, anything and everything. There are some shops stalls that are very expensive, and they have wonderful furniture, paintings, or pieces of pottery or porcelain.

Zo?+Helen: 有些商店是古董專(zhuān)家，所以價(jià)格不便宜。像家具 (furniture), 畫(huà) (paintings), 陶瓷 (pottery and porcelain) 都有不少的選擇。

And then there’ll be a store selling what we call in this country bric-a-brac, and that can be anything from a little cup, to a tin, to a glass to an old game, to a toy, you name it. And that’s the great thing about going to Portobello Road, you are never sure what you are going to find.

Zo?+Helen: Jonathan 也提到很多小攤買(mǎi)的是二手雜貨, 英語(yǔ)里有個(gè)特別的名字 (it’s called bric-a-brac) bric-a-brac 這類(lèi)的東西一般都比較小，像杯子，小盒子，紀(jì)念品，玩具之類(lèi)的。（You are never sure what you are going to find.）逛Portobello Market 的樂(lè)趣就是你永遠(yuǎn)不知道你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)什么。

Insert

It’s full of surprises. For a few pounds you’ll come away with a wonderful memento of London and something that’s probably unique.

Zo?: 大家都說(shuō)倫敦消費(fèi)貴，可是你到了Portobello, 沒(méi)準(zhǔn)就花幾鎊錢(qián)就能買(mǎi)到好東西。

Helen: That’s right, for a few pounds you could have something wonderful to remind you of London.

Zo?: 而且是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的紀(jì)念品 a unique memento。這才是最有意思的。

Helen: A couple of other things about Portobello Market. Firstly, the main market is only open on Saturdays.

Zo?: 這個(gè)二手市集只有星期六才有。平時(shí)只有少數(shù)的商店才開(kāi)門(mén)。

Helen: And secondly, don’t be afraid to haggle.

Zo?: haggle 就是討價(jià)還價(jià)，只有在這種地方，才有機(jī)會(huì)和攤主談?wù)剝r(jià)錢(qián)。不過(guò)可別殺價(jià)太狠了。

Helen: Well I hope you now know more about the famous second hand market in London -- Portobello Market.

Zo?: 波多貝露市集, 倫敦最有名的古董二手貨市場(chǎng)。

Helen: So until the next time, it’s goodbye from both of us at BBC Learning English.

Zo?: Bye.
