一年一度的双十一终于又来了。我可以买买买了!

B: Time really has flown by. The end of the year has arrived in the blink of an eye.

B: Have the discounts been that great?

打折力度真的很大吗？

(dǎzhé lìdù zhēnde hěndà ma?)

A: Of course there have been discounts, or else why would everyone wait until Singles' Day to snatch up products?

当然还是有一定折扣的,不然为什么大家都双十一囤货？

B: I heard the news say that package delivery may rise in price for a time.

我看新闻说快递有可能届时涨价。
