经典背诵 Recitation
Vendor: Hi, I am a vendor. Welcome to the Food Market. Many people come to my stand for the food. I always give them my best price. All the vegetables are twenty percent off after 5:00 p.m. Although the job keeps me busy all the time, I find it quite fun.

生词小结
expensive adj. 贵的

percent n. 百分之……

be twenty percent of 打八折

be next to nothing 极便宜,几乎免费

kilogram n. 千克,公斤

limb n. 树枝,肢

beef n. 牛肉

pork n. 猪肉

sell out 卖完

shame n. 遗憾的事

注释
any way 不管怎样

Come on. 这是比较随意的口头禅,就像在说:来吧,让我们做什么事情,或者不做什么之类,也可以表达“加油”的意思。

I'm out on a limb here. 这句话多用来形容自己已经到了无可退让的地步。

Here is your change. 找您零钱。

That's a shame. 这是美式英语中表达遗憾的一种说法。在英式英语中,一般用It's a pity.
