the day after thanksgiving (which is a Friday) is consider the starting point of all sales and promotions
because of the Christmas and New Year season comming
===>感恩節之後因為聖誕節和新年到了,全部開始大販賣和大促銷(consider什麼意思呢?)
and everyone start to buy gifts for others and themselves..
===>每個人都跑去買自己想要的和送人的禮物
so.. thats why la..
===>所以..就是這樣啦..
and Black Friday marks the first day of sales
===>大拍賣的第一天
usually.. they will have crazy discounts in very very early morning
===>通常..在很早很早的早晨,有很優惠的折扣
the stores open like 5 am in the morning of that Friday
so.. (i will be there standing in line)
===>商店在拍賣的早晨上午五點開門???所以我也要去排隊

i'm trying to ask people where they go shopping for the biggest sale of the year
===>今年我去問人.哪裡有大拍賣可以血拼

這個應該翻成(至少我是這個意思啦)

我是著問大家他們在這個一年中最大的一次拍賣都去哪裡買東東

consider 大致上可以翻成"被稱為" "被認為是"

對喔
在那一天
很多店都是很早就開門
有幾家更是凌晨三點就開了喲

嗯  其實你的英文真的不差喔
全都看的董啊
而且也翻的很好呀
只是有些英文簡語不知而已
可以當個小英文老師

AM3:00或5:00很多人都在睡覺吧!如果三點開門,買好就馬上走人那還好 ,如果要排隊,要看"怎麼排"了,有時候排隊是一件很恐怖的事!
至於英文謝謝你的鼓勵,你不要嫌我煩就好了.

yep!
exactly~  i believe thats the whole purpose of this big sale..
if you want to wake up early (or not sleep at all) and trade your sleep time for some $$ saving items.. then it is not that difficault to see why so many people stand in line year after year
and.. just like you said.. "standing in line" is such a horrible thing to do.. especially if you experience the situation that I had last year (i wrote it in the english section 訪客無法瀏覽此圖片或連結，請先 註冊 或 登入會員 。, hehe~  practice some more english ba~ )
but.. in general.. things usually goes smoothly.. and you can really make some friends there while standing in the cold

come to think of that~

taiwanese are so good at "standing in line" for so long eh

they can start lining up for something for sooooo long as well

paohenlee

YES!

man.. bruce.. i was actually talking to a friend of this recently!!

and... really.. chinese people like to all fall into something that they think is good for them.. and completely go crazy

stand in line is so typical~  (i guess i'm one of these~  haha)

hum.. i don't know if you know.. but there is a cookie that is out recently in taiwan.. and they all say its soo good and tastes so smooth and rich.. the brand is called "black chef"

and a friend of mine recently got a hold of a can or two.. and i tasted it...

its somewhat exactly like some cheap ones that i had when i was little

really don't know what people are thinking

brucenien

"black chef" i have never heard of it. well i guess its just their marketing strategy,

somehow made everyone went crazy for that particular brand. Its not cookie itself but its the

fact that everyone is eating it made everyone go crazy
