“街头摊贩”怎么说 [ 2007-05-16 13:55 ]
一直以来,“路边练摊”和“民宅商用”曾是城管部门的大忌,由此也导致了小商贩与城管数不清的“猫鼠游戏”。不过,随着政府一系列包容性政策的出台,昔日的禁令正逐步放宽……
请看《中国日报》相关报道:Two proposed policy changes in city management have the
potential to make city life more livable if implemented with patience and
wisdom.
The first would allow street
vendors in cities as long as they follow certain rules and the
second is that companies would be allowed to operate their businesses in
non-commercial properties.
报道中的“street vendor”指的就是“街头摊贩”。
“Vendor”在此指(在街头设摊或推车叫卖的)“小贩”,由动词“vend”(沿街叫卖)衍生而来,如:He vends fruit from a
cart.(他推着车沿路叫卖水果。)
此外,我们日常说的“自动售货机”可表达为“vending machine”。
