'I bought it.'“你那條裙子哪兒來的？”“我買的。”◆'Where did you buy / get that skirt?' 'Topshop.'“你那條裙子在哪兒買的？”“Topshop專賣店。” Get is frequently used to mean 'buy', especially in spoken English and when talking about less expensive items, but if you need to make it clear that sb paid money for sth, use buy. * get經常指“買”，尤其在口語中和談到不太貴的東西時，但如果需要講明某物是花錢買的，則用buy。   see also get ⇨ get 1 ■ purchase ˈpɜːtʃəs; NAmE ˈpɜːrtʃəs [transitive] (formal) to buy sth 買；購買；采購◆The equipment can be purchased from your local supplier.這種設備可從您當地的供應商購買。◆Please ensure that you purchase your ticket in advance.請務必提前購票。  see also purchaser ⇨ customer ■ acquire əˈkwaɪə(r) [transitive] (formal, especially business 尤用於商業) to obtain sth by buying it 購得；買到◆The company has just acquired new premises.公司剛購得新辦公樓。◆How did the gallery come to acquire so many Picassos?這家畫廊是如何購得這麽多畢加索作品的？NOTE 辨析 Purchase or acquire? Acquire is used especially with words relating to business: company, firm, franchise, land, lease, premises, site, stake, subsidiary. Purchase is simply a formal alternative to buy, and can be used with a far wider range of nouns. Acquire can also mean 'obtain sth by being given it'; if you need to make it clear that sb paid money for sth, use buy or purchase. * acquire尤其跟company、firm、franchise、land、lease、premises、site、stake、subsidiary等與商業相關的詞連用。purchase只是buy的正式說法，可以跟範圍廣得多的名詞連用。acquire還可指獲得、得到；如果需要講明某物是花錢買的，則用buy或purchase。   see also acquire ⇨ get 1 ■ shop (-pp-) [intransitive] to buy things in shops 去商店買；在商店購物◆We tend to go into Edinburgh to shop for clothes.我們一般去愛丁堡買衣服。◆He likes to shop at the local market.他喜歡到本地市場買東西。ⓘ To go shopping is to spend time going to shops and looking for things to buy. * go shopping的意思是逛商店◆There should be plenty of time to go shopping before we leave New York.我們離開紐約前應該還有充足的時間去逛商店。   see also shopper ⇨ customer ■ take (took, taken) [transitive] to choose to buy sth 選購◆I'll take the grey jacket.我要那件灰色夾克衫。ⓘ In this meaning take is only used when it is clear that you are choosing sth, especially in the phrase I'll take... In the sentence She took the grey jacket, for example, took could be misunderstood to mean stole. Take can also be used as a more formal way of saying get, when it means 'to buy a newspaper or magazine regularly'. 表達此義時，take只用於很明確是挑選東西的場合，尤用於短語I'll take ...。比如，在She took the grey jacket 這句話裏，took有可能被誤解爲偷竊。take表示定期購買某報刊時，是get的較爲正式的說法◆ (formal) We take the 'Express'.我們訂閱了《快報》。 ■ ˌpick sth ˈup

phrasal verb

 (informal) to buy sth, especially cheaply or by chance （碰巧）買到（便宜的東西）◆We managed to pick up a few bargains at the auction.我們從拍賣場買到了幾件便宜貨。■ ˌsnap sth ˈup
