《水调歌头》·苏轼

``` 明月几时有,把酒问青天。 不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年?

我欲乘风归去,又恐琼楼玉宇,
高处不胜寒。

起舞弄清影,何似在人间!
转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。

不应有恨,何事长向别时圆?
人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,

此事古难全。
但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。

<h1 style="background-color:#FF69B4; font-family:verdana; font-size:25px; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; color:white; ">The price will go down. 这价钱将会降低</h1>

个人经验 `go down` 跟 `go up` 很好用, 当你不知道用什么动词, 如 `increase` 或 `surge`, 就用 `goes up`, 像是有一次我去买汽车保险, 我一直想问他如果我一年当中都没有理赔, 那明年的保费会不会降低? 这个降低我就一直想不起来要用`decrease` 好还是 `lower` 好, 结果后来我才听他说, `The price will go down.` 是不是听来很顺. 再说一个例子, 比如作实验时浓度上升, 这个上升你可以说 `increase`, 但也可以说, `The concentration goes up.` 听来是不是也不错?另外类似的口语讲法, 你可以用`rise` 跟 `drop` 来代表 `go up` 和 `go down`. 例如 `The price will drop.`

`Where can I find the clearance items? `
所谓的 clearance item 就是清仓货, 零码货的意思, 或是 odd sizes 也代表零码货的意思
