常用表达

For sale 是什么意思?挂牌出售与已经卖掉不同

For sale 表示待售、可以买。邻居的房子正挂牌,你想问价格,若写成 is sold,句子却把交易状态改了:哪种表达还留着购买机会?

For sale 表示物主打算出售,买家可以买到,常用于房屋、汽车或画作。房前告示和广告里常写 For Sale;Not for sale 则说明这件东西不出售。

想在对话中用 for sale 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

be for sale; put + something + up for sale; not for sale; for sale for/at + price

  • The flat above ours has been for sale for a year, but nobody has bought it.
  • My parents are putting their old car up for sale next month.
  • The paintings in this café are for sale, and the prices are on the back.

修改原因

修改前Look, the flat next to ours is sold. Let's ask how much they want for it.

修改后Look, the flat next to ours is for sale. Let's ask how much they want for it.

Is sold 看起来像是在说房屋正在出售,但 the flat is sold 表示已经卖掉,此时再问要价就不合逻辑。要说明还可以买,用 for sale。

Cambridge Dictionary

On sale 可以描述商店里出售的商品,或已经开始销售的票:The new game is on sale in all shops。For sale 更常用于物主正在出售的具体物品:Our neighbours' house is for sale。

动手练习

My uncle is moving to Spain, so he has put his house up ___.

for sale — 房主准备出售房屋,挂牌出售的搭配是 put up for sale。On sale 可以谈商店商品或折扣,但这里不能接在 put up 后。

设想你要出售一件不再需要的物品。用一句英语写广告,说明是什么,以及价格。

My old road bike is for sale for £150, and it comes with a helmet and lights.
