词语用法

1. bargain和good bargain都指“便宜货”，但bad bargain指“买得价格过高的东西”。

n. (名词)

1. bargain的基本意思是“协议,交易”,指双方或各方约定彼此要为对方做的事项; bargain还可作“特价商品”解,这种商品多指廉价购买或廉价出售的,有时还可以指通过讨价还价成交的商品。
2. bargain是可数名词,其前可加不定冠词或定冠词, bargain作“廉价”解时,可充当定语。

v. (动词)

1. bargain的基本含义是买卖双方就交易条件(尤指价格)进行谈判、磋商,常译为“讨价还价”“讲价钱”“谈判(交易)条件”,也可指单方面“提出条件”。可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。
2. bargain作“讨价还价”解时用作不及物动词,表示“与(某人)讨价还价”时接with,表示“为(某物)讨价还价”时接for,表示“就(某事)讨价还价”时接about或over。
3. bargain还可作“要求得到”解,这时用作及物动词,常接that从句,且从句中的谓语动词多用虚拟语气。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

bargain for, bargain about〔over〕

• 这两个短语都可作“讨价还价”解。其区别在于:
• 1.bargain for有较明确的目的性,即“为…讨价还价”; 而bargain about〔over〕则侧重对象、内容,即“就…讨价还价”。
• 2.bargain for的宾语多为具体的物品,如a car, a desk等,不可接price等条款性抽象名词; 而bargain about〔over〕的宾语多为price等条款性抽象名词,较少接具体名词。例如:
• The women spend hours in the market, bargaining about the goods.女人们在市场上逛了几小时,对商品讨价还价。
• 如果把about换成for,则意为“对要买的商品讨价还价”。

bargain for, bargain on

• 在表示“指望,期待”的意思时, bargain for与bargain on同义,只是后者为美式英语。

• 这些名词均含“协定，协议，契约，合同”之意。
