“退差价”英语怎么说

摘要:苹果公司上周推出iPad2，iPad第一代的价格立即应声下调1100元，最低2888元就可以拿到一款16G的wifi版iPad。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

In launching the second-generation iPad last week, the American giant slashed the price of the original iPad by 1,100 yuan and offered to repay the difference to those who bought it for 3,988 yuan between Feb 18 and March 3.

Yet, many shoppers who have attempted to claim the cash at the capital's authorized dealers have hit a brick wall.

上周苹果公司在推出了ipad2的同时，将iPad第一代的价格下调了1100元，并承诺对在2月18日至3月3日之间以3988元价格购买的消费者退还差价。但是，很多消费者在北京的特许经销商那要求退还差价的时候都碰了壁。

【讲解】文中的repay the difference 就是指退差价，还可以说成refund the difference/balance。Refund除了作动词外，还可以作名词，如export tax refund (出口退税)，full refund (全额退款)。hit a brick wall 是指遇到了困难，碰壁。
