哎……我筋疲力尽。
A: Didn't you sleep well last night?

B: Sleep well? I didn’t sleep at all. I went shopping with my friend for the new iphone. How do you say something which sells very well in English?
睡好?我根本就没睡。我和我朋友去买新的苹果手机了,如果想用英文表达一个东西很热销应该如何说?
A: You can say it sells like hotcakes. Hotcakes is spelled h-o-t-c-a-k-e-s, hotcakes. If you say something sells like hotcakes, it means it is sold quickly and in large numbers.
你可以说卖得像一块热饼一样来形容。Hotcake 这样拼h-o-t-c-a-k-e-s,如果你这样形容一样东西,那说明它卖得又快又多。
B: The new iPhone sold like hotcakes!
苹果手机卖的像热饼!
A : There's actually another way of saying it, you can say: the new iPhone 4S is flying off the shelf! Shelf is spelled s-h-e-l-f, shelf.
还有另外一种表达。你可以说 苹果4s手机一下子从架子上飞走了。Shelf这样拼s-h-e-l-f。
B: The shop assistant told us to queue up outside the store at midnight for the new stock to make sure we can get the new iphone. So we just grabbed a chair and waited outside the store.
昨天店员让我们从半夜开始就在店外排队为了确保我们可以买到最新的苹果手机。所以我们就弄来一把凳子然后在外面等着。
A: You camped out last night!
你昨天晚上都在camped out?
B: Camp out?
Camp out?
A: Camp, c-a-m-p, camp out means that you stay outdoors all night in front of the store! And I can tell that your friend is a tech-head.
Camp,c-a-m-p, 就是说你在商店外面驻扎了一整晚!你的朋友真是一个科技发烧友。
