In many countries, such as the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia, flea markets and garage sales are very popular on weekends. A flea market is an open-air street market that sells inexpensive or used articles. A garage sale normally takes place in the garage or on the lawn of the seller's house. At a garage sale, you can bargain for used personal or household items.
在很多国家,例如美国、加拿大、英国和澳大利亚,周末的跳蚤市场和宅前旧货出售非常流行。跳蚤市场是室外买卖价格便宜或者二手物品的地方;宅前旧货出售一般在车库或者出售人门前的草坪上进行。在宅前旧货出售中购买二手家用物品或者个人用品,你可以讨价还价。
