文化意识 文化理解 Pawnshops are a special kind of shop with a unique business model. People bring their t 1 to a pawnshop, and the shop gives them money based on the value of those things. There's a chance for people to buy b 2 their items later. But if they fail to do so within a specific time, the pawnshop can sell these items.
In ancient China, life was tough for many poor people. When they needed money to p 3 for food, medicine, or to deal with other emergencies, they often had no choice b 4 to sell their valuable things, like old jewelry, nice clothes, or antiques, to pawnshops. Unluckily, some greedy pawnshop owners paid at a very l 5 price. For example, a beautiful jade bracelet that was w 6 a lot of money might be bought for only a few copper coins. When someone had such an unfair experience, o 7 would say he or she “went to the pawnshop (shangdang in Chinese)”.
During the Qing Dynasty, there was a wealthy family that had its hands in various businesses, and one of them was a pawnshop. They hired(雇用) a young and book-loving man named Shou Zhu to m 8 this pawnshop. Shou was so into reading that he spent most of his time on books, neglecting his duties in running the pawnshop. Some people noticed this. They took broken or u 9 items to the shop and sold them at high prices. Shou, being distracted by his books, didn't realize the tricks. Before long, the pawnshop lost a great deal of money and f 10 went broke. From then on, the phrase “going to the pawnshop (shangdang)” became widely used to mean “being cheated”.
