原文及翻译
Every Saturday morning in our part of the world, except in winter, many people drive around the city looking for yard sales. Yard sales, or garage sales, often take place in the driveway of someone's home, or perhaps the front lawn. The homeowners take out all the stuff they don't want and arrange it in front of their house.
在我们这个地区，除了冬天，每个周六早上，许多人都会开车在城里转悠，寻找庭院拍卖。庭院拍卖，或车库拍卖，通常发生在某人家的车道上，或者可能是前草坪上。房主把他们不想要的东西都拿出来，摆在房子前面。
Usually, they put a price tag on items. People driving by will stop to see if there's anything they want. Many people spend every Saturday morning shopping at yard sales. If they find that they have bought too many things, then they have a yard sale of their own.
通常，他们会给物品贴上价格标签。路过的人会停下来看看是否有他们想要的东西。许多人每个周六早上都会在庭院拍卖会上购物。如果他们发现买了太多东西，他们就会自己举办庭院拍卖会。
Some of the shoppers are dealers who buy things for resale. Sometimes they resell them at their own yard sales, but some dealers are professionals who run antique stores, used bookshops, flea markets, or used furniture and appliance stores.
有些购物者是买东西转售的经销商。有时他们在自己的庭院拍卖会上转售，但有些经销商是经营古董店、二手书店、跳蚤市场或二手家具和电器店的专业人士。
Usually, the dealers will try to get to the yard sale before anyone else, that way they have the best selection. Often, they'll try to buy items for less than what the price tag says. The cheaper they can buy the item, the more profit they can make when they resell it. Their motto is "buy low, sell high."
通常，经销商会试图先于其他人到达庭院拍卖会，这样他们就有最好的选择。通常，他们会试图以低于标价的价格购买物品。他们买入的价格越便宜，转售时获得的利润就越大。他们的座右铭是“低买高卖”。
