【答案解析】[解析] 18-21 {{B}}M: {{/B}}Good morning, can I help you? {{B}}W: {{/B}}How much does this microwave oven cost? {{B}}M: {{/B}}$280. {{B}}W: {{/B}}Can you give a discount for it? {{B}}M: {{/B}}Sorry, I can't. The price is fixed. {{B}}W: {{/B}}Come on. Cut down the price just a little bit. I can buy it in another store, but I choose to buy it here as your store is nearer to my place. {{B}}M: {{/B}}Well, because I have to meet a quota in order to get my commission. OK. I'll take off, let say, fifty dollars. How does that sound? {{B}}W: {{/B}}Oh, no. I was thinking maybe more in three digits. Something like one hundred? {{B}}M: {{/B}}Please. That's too much. Seventy-five, no more no less. {{B}}W: {{/B}}Give it two zeros like a hundred. I feel luckier with zeros. {{B}}M: {{/B}}Alright, eighty is the bottom line, we can't make any profit if the price is lower than $ 200. {{B}}W: {{/B}}OK, I'll take it. Be sure to have it securely packaged.
