限时抢购

    Flash是“闪光、一瞬间”，sale是“打折促销”。Flash sale是什么意思呢？请看对话：

    A: Ah, I miss shopping in the night markets! I loved the give and take of haggling with the merchants to get the best deal possible.

    B: Really? I was always so intimidated and felt like I was getting ripped off. I think I would rather just pay whatever is on the price tag.

    A: You are such a baby! You must bargain with the vendors.

    B: Well, bargaining is not my strong point. Generally I just go online and look for flash sales, which are a lot cheaper than the ticket price.

    A: Flash sales?

    B: Well, you know, “flash” is a “very brief moment.” A flash sale refers to a very short period of time when a store sells products at much lower prices than usual.

    A: Things may be cheap at flash sales, but sometimes you buy things you don’t really need!

    记住了吗？Flash sale就是“限时抢购”。
