付了这么多“尾款”,你知道英语怎么说吗?
明明11月11日还没到,双十一购物节(Single’s Day shopping carnival)就已经大张旗鼓地搞起来了,11月1日-3日的第一波活动已经结束。经历了第一波的血拼后,小伙伴们,你们的手还在吗?
今年的双十一比以往来得更早一些,十月中旬各大购物网站、品牌网页就开始了预售,很多商家采取了先付“定金”再付“尾款”的方式,付了定金方能享受优惠。
那么,“尾款”、“定金”、“预售”这些词用英语怎么表达呢?
尾款Balance
尾款的英文通常可以用balance来表达,这个词可以表示我们的账户的余额,也可以指我们所说的“尾款”,还可以表示(应付与所付的)结欠;借贷差额等。
Balance的相关英文解释:
1. a figure representing the difference between credits and debits in an account; the amoun
t of money held in an account 结存;借贷差额
例句:
He accumulated a healthy balance with the savings bank.
他在储蓄银行积累了相当的结余。
2. the difference between an amount due and an amount paid(应付与所付的)结欠;差额

他们定在货到时支付尾款。
They were due to pay the balance on delivery.
定金Deposit
deposit相信很多小伙伴们知道这个词是“存款”的意思,但同时,他还能表示“定金”“押金”的意思。例如大家的房租,设备租用前交的押金,就可以用deposit来表示。
