省錢小妙招（雙語）：別買這十樣東西

　　人生在世多坎坷，但省錢可沒這么辛苦。就想想你有什么不需要的吧。以下是10件你不需要的十件物品。

　　Step 1: Jeans 牛仔褲

　　The average American woman owns 8 pairs or more. Even at 75% off put them back.

　　平均每個美國女人有8條甚至更多的牛仔褲。75%的人都讓牛仔褲閑置著。

　　Step 2: Kleenex Box Covers 盒裝面巾紙

　　Research has shown tissue works fine without a cover.

　　研究發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有盒子的紙巾更好用。

　　Step 3: Credit Card Protection Plans 信用卡保護方案

　　They promise to make minimum payments if you lose your job. But they add a significant amount to your monthly bill- money better spent paying down balances.

　　他們答應你在失業(yè)時給予最低付款。但他們在你的每月賬單上收取的錢遠多于此。

　　Americans are eating out more than ever, and an inexpensive microwave heats take-out quite well.

　　現(xiàn)在的美國人大多出去吃飯。而一個便宜的微波爐卻讓你去加熱外賣。

　　Step 5: Detox 排毒品

　　Teas, colonics, even Japanese foot pads claim to detoxify your body. Your liver and kidneys do that for free.

　　雖然茶葉，清腸片，甚至日本腳墊號稱能給你的身體排毒?？赡愕母闻K和腎免費幫你排毒。

　　Step 6: Gag Gifts 惡作劇的禮物

　　Gag gifts are only funny once. And they're not even that funny. No refunds. Same goes for cutesy knick-knacks.

　　惡作劇的禮物只是一時的好笑罷了。實際上它們也沒怎么好笑。而且這些玩意兒不能退款。相同的禮品只能成為嬌柔做作的小飾品。

　　Step 7: Air Freshener 空氣清新劑

　　If your house stinks, clean it. That should take care of the odor.

　　如果你的房子有異味，那就打掃吧。這可以解決惡臭的問題。

　　If you don't use it, it's not a bargain. It's a waste.

　　如果你不使用它，那它就不是便宜品。買它是一種浪費。

　　Step 10: Home Exercise Equipment 家用健身器

　　Most of it ends up unused, and there are far cheaper ways to hang up wet socks.

　　大多數(shù)健身器買回來就從未使用過，想掛濕襪子有更便宜的方式。
