昨夜都是尾款人……预售、定金、尾款用英文怎么说?
小伙伴们,昨晚都愉快地付完尾款了吗?
付完尾款,我们当然要来学习一下“预售”“定金”“尾款”这些词汇的英文表达方式!
接下来贵哥就带领同学们了解一下这些词汇,以后托福考试可能会用上噢!
大家拿好小板凳,做好笔记呀。
定金 - Deposit
大家参加“双11”预售活动,只有当定金支付完成之后,商品才会加入购物车,Deposit这个词是“存款”的意思,但同时,他还能表示“定金”“押金”的意思。
Deposit的英文解释
1. N-COUNT 订金;保证金
A deposit is a sum of money which is part of the full price of something, and which you pay when you agree to buy it.
例句: A ?50 deposit is required when ordering, and the balance is due upon delivery.订货时需要交50英镑的订金,货到后余款结清。
2. N-COUNT (租赁的)押金
A deposit is a sum of money which you pay when you start renting something. The money is returned to you if you do not damage what you have rented.
例句: It is common to ask for the equivalent of a month's rent as a deposit.要求交一个月的房租作押金是很常见的。
3. N-COUNT (尤指定期)存款
A deposit is a sum of money which is in a bank account or savings account, especially a sum which will be left there for some time.
例句: We ask for one month's rent in advance, plus a deposit of $500.我们要求先交1个月的租金,并且还要外加500美元的定金。
尾款 - Balance
在淘宝卖家规定的时间范围内付尾款,消费者才能享受商家提供的优惠,如果现实中消费者无法在规定时间内付款,预售定金不予退还,尾款的英文是“Balance”,这个词还可以表示(应付与所付的)结欠;借贷差额等。
Balance的英文解释
A figure representing the difference between credits and debits in an account; the amount of money held in an account 结存;借贷差额
例句: He accumulated a healthy balance with the savings bank.他在储蓄银行积累了相当的结余。
The difference between an amount due and an amount paid(应付与所付的)结欠;差额
例句: The balance of $500 must be paid within 90 days.500元尾款必须于90天之内付清。They were due to pay the balance on delivery.他们定在货到时支付尾款。
预售 - Pre?sell
前缀pre-来源于拉丁语,意为“before”,即“事先、预先”的意思。
Pre?sell 的英文解释
To promote (a product, entertainment, etc) with publicity in advance of its appearance 预售
例句: New generation smartphones are often pre-sold to customers eager to be ahead of the technological curve.新一代智能手机通常预售给渴望走在技术曲线前面的客户。
分期付款 - Installment或Payment by installments
很多时候,我们想要购买一件产品或享受一项服务,但是暂时资金不足,就可以利用分期付款的方式,将付款压力转移到之后的一段时间中,它的英文是“installment”或者“payment by installments”。
例句: Estimates indicate that more than 60 percent of the yearly retail sales in the U.S. are credit transactions. About three-fourths of these credit sales are made on the installment plan. More than half of the automobiles, furniture, and household appliances are purchased on the installment plan.据估计,美国每年零售额的百分之六十以上都是赊购交易。这些赊购中大约有四分之三是用分期付款的方式进行的。有一半以上的人用分期付款的方式购买汽车、家具和家用电器。
清空购物车 - Pay for all the items in the cart
这句话可不是说把购物车的东西都删掉,而是把购物车里的商品都买下,所以它的英文自然也有了,那就是“pay for all the items in the cart”。
例句: You can now use the application to select items from your catalog, add them to your shopping cart, empty your cart, and check out.您现在可以使用该应用程序从目录中选择商品,将商品添加到购物车,清空购物车,付款后离开。
