I had these puppies on layaway for three months!

我用三期分期付款买了这双鞋！

Do you guys have layaway by any chance? Does that still exist?

你们有任何机会吗？那还存在吗？

Yeah, if we put it on layaway, work hard for a few years.

对 贷款努力工作几年就买得起了。

The saleswoman there wore a label on her dress with the name " Mrs. Harding" . Angelina asked her what " layaway" meant.

那里的女售货员的连衣裙上有一个标签，上面写着" 哈丁女士" 。安问她" 分期付款" 是什么意思。

Angelina turned her braid some more. All hope was not gone. There was a sign in the Forbes store window that said " layaway" .

安又把辫子扎了几下，所有的希望都没有。布斯商店橱窗上有一块牌子写着" 分期预付" 。

Mrs. Harding explained that buyers could choose a dress on layaway and pay just part of the total cost. That part was called a deposit. But the buyer could not take the dress home.

哈丁女士解释说，买主可以选择分期付款购买衣服，只需支付总价格的一部分。那部分款项叫押金。但是，买主不能把这件衣服带回家。

Angelina did not tell her parents about the layaway plan, however. She was sure she could earn enough money baby-sitting to pay for the dress. She had stayed with Louis several times, after all.

不过，安没有告诉父母分期付款这件事。她确信自己做保姆，能赚够钱来支付这条裙子的费用。她毕竟和路易斯住过一段日子。

It happened this past Saturday, and we now know that layaway Santa is Greg Parady, a local financial planner who was supposed to be here buying bicycles for Toys for Tots, when he decided to do a little more.

这发生在过去的星期六, 我们现在知道那位预付圣诞老人是格雷格·帕蒂，当他决定做多一点的时候，这位当地理财规划师就来到这里给小孩子们购买玩具自行车。
