名人教英文：以特低价钱
for a knockdown price
以特低价钱
rhea: what do you think of the apartment now?
雷亚﹕你认为这套房现在怎样？
minty: well, i can hardly believe it. when you bought it, it looked terrible, so dark and dirty.
明蒂﹕嗯，真是难以置信。这套房，你购买的时候，看来糟透了，又暗又肮脏。
rhea: it certainly was in a very poor state. but do you like what i've done?
雷亚﹕当时状况的确很差。你喜欢我的改动吗？
minty: oh yes! the colour scheme is great. the pastel colours make it look so light and airy. and i just love the sofa. it looks so comfortable. was it very expensive?
明蒂﹕很喜欢。色调搭配得好极了。柔和的颜色，使套房看来光亮、通风。我也喜欢这张沙发椅，看来很舒适。很昂贵吗？
rhea: it should have been, it's a top brand. but i got it for a knockdown price because the store wanted to get rid of it to make way for new stock.
雷亚﹕本来是。这是最好的牌子。不过，那商店要把这张椅卖掉，腾出地方放新货品，因此，我以特低价钱买到。
