1. 1五分十分店(美國舊式廉價雜貨店;台灣沒有這個講法,概念上有點像早期的雜貨店或十元商店)

    A five-and-ten was an American shop that sold many kinds of cheap goods, especially for the house: soap, thread, cups, small tools, toys. The name comes from a time when a lot of those things cost five cents or ten cents. People also called it a five-and-dime or a dime store. You will meet the word in older books and films more than on a street today; the shops changed, and prices did too. Though actually the feeling is a shop full of small, inexpensive household things — but it is an old American idea, not a shop type Taiwan names this way.

    five-and-ten 是美國舊式的廉價雜貨店,賣很多便宜的日用品,像肥皂、線、杯子、小工具和玩具。名字來自很多東西只要五分或十分錢的年代,也有人叫它 dime store。現在這類店比較少見,多半是在老書和老電影裡遇到。它是美國的舊概念,台灣沒有這樣的叫法,比較接近早期的雜貨店或十元商店。
