清凉油的英文可以说cooling oil，也叫做essential balm，是一种Chinese traditional herb balm，有清凉散热(cooling)，醒脑提神(refreshing)，止痒止痛(relieving itching and pain)的功效，用于感冒头痛(colds and headache)，中暑(heat stroke)，晕车(motion sickness)，蚊虫叮咬(mosquito bites)。
中国调料界的鼻祖老干妈，在美国亚马逊上居然能卖8美元，合40几元人民币，真是国门一出，山鸡变凤凰了，歪果仁到了中国，会说：Lao Gan Ma，Good!
汉语的"干妈"，跟英美文化中的"教母"扮演的角色类似，因此老干妈在国外有时被译作the godmother(教母)。对老外来说，这种辣椒酱(chili sauce)就是正宗的中国四川味道(the authentic flavor of Sichuan)。请看国外网友评论：This stuff is dangerously addictive. You've been warned.(警告：此物极易上瘾。)
假货在英文中有很多类似的表达，比如knock-off(仿冒品)、fake(假货)、adulterated goods(冒充货)等。"山寨"一词，尚无统一译法，有的人翻译成copycat，或rip-off world brand，而新版《牛津英汉汉英词典》中收录的山寨一词，则取其音译shan zhai。

外国人还掌握了下面这个"砍价秘籍"：
1. Bring your poker face(要面无表情)
Rule number one of bargaining: never act like you absolutely must have the item. Keep a straight face and act like you'd rather walk away than pay a fortune, and you'll get a much better price.
Really low. Depending on the market, the starting price could be 7 or 8 times what it should be. Keep this in mind when you throw out your first price. You can always go up from there, but you can't go back down.
If someone else is buying the same thing for a reasonable price, tell the seller you want the same price.
如果有别人用比较合理的价格买了同样一件东西，告诉卖家，你也要用相同的价格买。
4.Be firm, but stay polite(态度坚定且不失礼貌)
Don't underestimate the importance of allowing the seller to save face. Sometimes, negotiations do not go the way you planned. Especially in larger clothing markets, sellers may act outraged by a low price, but keep your cool. Often if you say something insulting, or even quote a price that is ridiculously low, the seller may decide not to sell to you at all.
