KAT在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是吴琼要问的：团购。
WQ： KAT， I have some crabs and prawns. Do you want them？
吴琼： KAT， 我这里有一些螃蟹和大虾，你想要么？
KAT： Of course！I love sea food！
KAT： 当然！我喜欢海鲜！
吴琼： Go to my home and fetch them！ All of them are free for you！
WQ： 去我家拿吧！全给你，不要钱！
KAT： Wow ... Wuqiong， that’s really nice of you！ Are you sure you don’t want them？
KAT： 哇……吴琼，你真是太好了！你真的不想要它们吗？
WQ： You don’t know， I buy them through group buying. They are too much for me to eat. I also have meal tickets， movie tickets， and fitness cards. Many of them will soon expire， but I have no time to go.
吴琼： 你不知道，这些都是我团购买来的，太多了，吃不了！ 我还有餐券，电影票，健身卡，好多都快到期了，我又没时间去。
KAT： What is group buying？
KAT： 团购是什么？
WQ： It is a very popular marketing gimmick now. It’s used by retailers to attract more people to buy products of mediocre quality and popularity. A lot of my friends are just as obsessed with group buying as me！
吴琼： 它是一种现在非常流行的市场营销手段，它被零售商用来吸引更多的人来买他们的质量普通的产品，我很多朋友现在都是“团购控”。
KAT： You are right. On the ordinary， group buying is for small shops， new shops， and the things for group buying is not very popular. I don’t think I can ever get a discount on LV purses through group buying.
KAT： 你说得有道理。一般推出团购的都是小店、新店，团购的东西也不是什么名牌抢手货。我不认为我可以团购到打折的LV包。
WQ： That’s right. In that sense， group buying is just another form of price war. But I am not a fool， when they raise the prise， I will find the new things for group buying！
吴琼： 是啊，在某种层面上，团购是另一种形式的价格战。不过，我也不傻，等他们把价格升上去了，我就去找新的团购货！
KAT： Haha， that’s exactly how you became a group buying maniac！
KAT： 好了，说说你今天都学了什么吧！
WQ： 第一：“团购”是group buying；
第二：“花招”是gimmick；
第三：“价格战”是price war.
