(单词翻译)

   Connie: You speak McQuillanese. Ask the store owner the price of this vase.

 
  Ivan: All right. He says it’s $60.
 
  Connie: That’s actually a great price, but let’s see if I can talk him down a little. You should never accept the starting price and the prices in these stores are all negotiable. Ask him what his rock bottom price is for the vase.
 
  Ivan: He said that he’ll take $50, but not one penny less.
 
  Connie: The vase is really a steal at $50, but maybe he’s still willing to bargain. Tell him that I won’t pay a penny more than $40.
 
  Ivan: I told him and he says that at that price, he’d be giving it away. I don’t think he’s going to budge1. I think you should just buy it. He doesn’t look like he’s willing to haggle2 with you.
 
  Connie: Don’t be impatient. Good things come to those who wait. Tell him that I’m ready to walk away if he doesn’t take $42 for it. Hey, where’s he going?
 
  Ivan: He says that he’s walking away because he doesn’t sell to cheap Americans.
 
  Connie: Hmph!
