online shopping/ 网购 / (wǎnɡ ɡòu)

A: Do you usually buy things online?   

你平时在网上买东西吗？

(nǐ pínɡshí zài wǎnɡshànɡ mǎidōnɡxī ma?)

B: Yes. When I can't find a product that satisfies me in a real store, I will search for it online. For instance, when I find that the clothes I want don't have a suitable size, I search for them online.   

是的,当我在实体店找不到满意的商品的时候,我就会在网络上搜索,当我发现想要的衣服没有适合的尺码的时候,我就会在网上搜索。

(shìde,dānɡwǒzài shítǐdiàn zhǎobùdào mǎnyìde shānɡpǐn de shíhòu, wǒjiùhuì zài wǎnɡluòshànɡ sōusuǒ, dānɡwǒfāxiàn xiǎnɡyào de yīfú méiyǒu shìhé de chǐmǎ deshíhòu,wǒjiùhuì zài wǎnɡshànɡ sōusuǒ.)

A: Sounds nice. Then have you paid attention recently to that hyped online shopping holiday? On that day, a lot of things will be on sale or have promotions.       

真不错。那你关注最近大肆宣传的购物节了吗,在这天,很多东西都会打折或者优惠。

(zhēnbùcuò. nànǐ ɡuānzhù zuìjìn dàsìxuānchuán de ɡòuwù jié lema, zàizhètiān, hěnduō dōnɡxī dōuhuì dǎzhé huòzhě yōuhuì.)

B: Then there should be a lot of people taking part in events during this day, right? I heard that some online purchasing platforms will invite some stars for livestreams and to hold raffles.    

那这一天应该会有很多人参加活动吧？听说还有一些网购平台会请明星来直播抽奖。

(nà zhèyītiān yīnɡɡāi huìyǒu hěnduōrén cānjiā huódònɡ bā? tīnɡshuō háiyǒu yīxiē wǎnɡɡòu pínɡtái huì qǐnɡ mínɡxīnɡ lái zhíbō chōujiǎnɡ.)

A: Yeah. A lot of people will take part in raffles and promotional events. Transactions for that day will be many times that of normal days.    

是, 会有很多人参与抽奖优惠的活动。

(shì, huìyǒu hěnduō rén cānyǔ chōujiǎnɡ yōuhuì de huódònɡ.)
