基本释义
[verb] dispute or bargain persistently, especially over the cost of something
[动词] （尤指就某物的成本）持续地争论或讨价还价
深入解读
Haggle 一词与 hack （延伸阅读：熟词僻义 | hack除了非法入侵，还指什么？）同源，最初表示“乱砍、乱劈”，比如：
- 乱砍树枝
haggle at branches - 把树枝胡乱砍去
haggle branches off
从砍掉这个含义出发，到了17世纪， haggle 逐渐开始引申表达“砍价”这个概念，具体指“（对价格或条件）讨价还价”或“在价格、条件等方面争论不休”，比如：
- 他一准还会杀价。
Of course he’ll still haggle over the price. - 同警方就谁该受责备的问题争论近一个小时
haggle with the police for almost an hour over who is to blame
另外，haggle 也可以作名词表示“争论、论价、讨价还价”，比如：
- 她又大笑起来，享受着砍价的乐趣。
She laughed again, enjoying the haggle.
名人名言
