Winter Clothing Store-Shopping
冬季衣服店-购物

In Detroit,one of the most visited clothing wholesale¹ stores in Burlington Coat Factory.I shop for winter clothes exclusively at Burlington.For a cost-conscious consumer like me,spring is the time or choice for buying winter clothes.This is when the store is trying to get rid of their older,overstocked winter wares².Once an item is on ssale,customers can get as much as 75% off.A nice lamb jacket would go for as low as $80.
在底特律，波林顿大衣店（Burlington Coat Factory）是人们最常光顾的衣服批发店之一。我专门去波林顿购买冬天的衣服。对于像我这样一个有消费概念的顾客来说，春天是买冬天衣服的最佳时机。这个时候商店正要把旧的库存的冬季服装处理掉；当物品开始特卖时，顾客可以得到低达二五折的优惠。一件好的羊毛夹克可以便宜到只要美金80元而已。

At Burlington,one would find literally³ hundreds of winter jackets and coats to choose from on any given day.Price and selection are not the only advantages they offer,their customer service is also superior.
在波林顿大衣店，每天都可有上百种以上的冬季夹克和大衣供人们挑选。它好的地方不只是价格低和选择多而已；他们的顾客服务也是高水准的。

Since it is a specialized⁴ clothing warehouse⁵ for winter and fall,their customers are relatively⁶ limited.One hardly ever has to wait in long lines at the registers.The only suggestion I have for the store managers would be to allow cash or credit refunds⁷ for returned merchandise instead of their in-store credit coupons⁸.
由于它是专门卖冬季和秋季的服装店，所在顾客相对的就比较有限。结账时几乎都不需要排队等候。对于商店的经理们，我只有一个建议：那就是对于（顾客的）退货处理时，应允许使用现金退款或是退款至信用卡账户，而不要是他们店内的礼卷来退款。
