「捡漏」用英语怎么说？

今天有读者问，看到一个特别好的 deal，怎么用英语跟人说自己「捡漏」了？

表达「价格很好」，比较普通的说法是「it’s a good/great deal」、「it’s a good/great buy」。如果价格更合适，折扣很好，像捡了个便宜，可以说「it’s a real/great bargain」。Bargain 有「something on sale at a lower price than its true value」的含义，例：

• This coat was half-price – a real bargain.
• The airline regularly offers last-minute bookings at bargain prices.
• The sales had started and the bargain hunters (= people looking for things at a low price) were out in force.
• She has a sharp eye for a bargain.
• Buyers who have waited for bargains at the end of the year will find slim pickings.
• The fall in property prices means that there are a lot of bargains waiting to be snapped up.
• Jonathan doesn’t miss a trick! If there’s a bargain to be had at the market, he’ll find it.
• Houses in this area used to be a real bargain, but they’re not cheap any more.

如果价格更合适，「就跟不要钱一样」，还可以说「it’s a steal」。Steal 本义是「偷东西」，在美式口头英语里引申为「价格太好了，跟偷来/不要钱一样」。这是美式英语很常见的口头语，并没有「偷东西」那种贬义。剑桥词典里也收录了这个解释：Steal: a product that has a very low price, or a price that is much lower than the original cost. 如果卖家跟你说「this is already a steal」，意思就是「我们这已经是白菜价啦！」

例句：

• I picked up a new iron in the sale – it was a steal.
• At half the original price, that designer dress is a steal.
• The shares may be a steal, but investors should remain wary.
• Their financial commitment for the land will be around $600,000, which Peter considers a steal.
• For that money, it’s a steal.
• I’ll give you two for one, that’s a steal, pal.
