周末去逛山姆 （zhōu mò qù guàng shān mǔ）
We go to visit Sam's Club on weekends.
我们通常是周末的上午去山姆 （wǒ men tōng cháng shì zhōu mò de shàng wǔ qù shān mǔ）
We usually go to Sam's Club in the morning on weekends.
因为下午人很多 （yīn wèi xià wǔ rén hěn duō）
Because there are a lot of people in the afternoon.
汽车会在停车场入口排起长龙 （qì chē huì zài tíng chē chǎng rù kǒu pái qǐ cháng lóng）
Cars will form a long line at the entrance of the parking lot.
我以为今天会买上千元 （wǒ yǐ wéi jīn tiān huì mǎi shàng qiān yuán）
I thought I would spend more than a thousand yuan today.
结果只买了四百多元 （jié guǒ zhǐ mǎi le sì bǎi duō yuán）
As a result, I only spent more than four hundred yuan.
山姆的商品确实不错 （shān mǔ de shāng pǐn què shí bù cuò）
The products in Sam's Club are really good.
是一般的超市里买不到的 （shì yī bān de chāo shì lǐ mǎi bù dào de）
They can't be bought in an ordinary supermarket.
由于需要买会员才能进入 （yóu yú xū yào mǎi huì yuán cái néng jìn rù）
Because you need to buy a membership to enter.
并且商品价格偏高 （bìng qiě shāng pǐn jià gé piān gāo）
And the prices of the products are on the high side.
所以山姆在中国被称为中产喜欢的超市 （suǒ yǐ shān mǔ zài zhōng guó bèi chēng wéi zhōng chǎn xǐ huān de chāo shì）
So Sam's Club is known as a supermarket favored by the middle class in China.
在我所在的城市成都 （zài wǒ suǒ zài de chéng shì chéng dū）
In my city, Chengdu.
有两个山姆店 （yǒu liǎng gè shān mǔ diàn）
There are two Sam's Club stores.
一个在北边，一个在南边 （yī gè zài běi biān，yī gè zài nán biān）
One is in the north and the other is in the south.
我们住在南边，所以常去的是南边的山姆店 （wǒ men zhù zài nán biān，suǒ yǐ cháng qù de shì nán biān de shān mǔ diàn）
We live in the south, so we often go to the Sam's Club store in the south.
其实平时我都是在 app 上购买 （qí shí píng shí wǒ dōu shì zài app shàng gòu mǎi）
Actually, I usually buy things on the app.
送货到家 （sòng huò dào jiā）
Have the goods delivered to my home.
偶尔去店里逛逛，吃吃试吃品，也是不错的体验 （ǒu ěr qù diàn lǐ guàng guàng，chī chī shì chī pǐn，yě shì bù cuò de tǐ yàn）
Occasionally, it's also a nice experience to go to the store, have a stroll and taste the samples.
我家里常买的是肉类和干货谷物类 （wǒ jiā lǐ cháng mǎi de shì ròu lèi hé gān huò gǔ wù lèi）
What my family often buys are meats, dried goods and grains.
比如牛肉，羊肉，鸡肉，小米，红豆，芝麻，奇亚籽，藜麦等 （bǐ rú niú ròu，yáng ròu，jī ròu，xiǎo mǐ，hóng dòu，zhī má，qí yà zǐ，lí mài děng）
Such as beef, mutton, chicken, millet, red beans, sesame seeds, chia seeds, quinoa, etc.
还有各种酱料，比如冬阴功，辣酱等等 （hái yǒu gè zhǒng jiàng liào，bǐ rú dōng yīn gōng，là jiàng děng děng）
There are also various sauces, such as tom yum goong sauce, hot sauce, etc.
还有亚麻籽油，橄榄油，饼干，黄油，玩具等等 （hái yǒu yà má zǐ yóu，gǎn lǎn yóu，bǐng gān，huáng yóu，wán jù děng děng）
There are also linseed oil, olive oil, cookies, butter, toys, etc.
好东西太多啦，钱包不够鼓呢 （hǎo dōng xi tài duō lā，qián bāo bù gòu gǔ ne）
There are so many good things, but my wallet isn't thick enough
