Pretty much anything having to do with the wedding industry is exorbitantly expensive. I couldn't believe the prices when being quoted for the venue, cake, photographer, the church, dresses and tuxedos, the rings, the fucking props, etc. Fucking absurd that people are willing to go into massive debt for a wedding.
基本上一切和婚礼行业相关的东西都贵的离谱。我简直不敢相信现场、蛋糕，摄影师、教堂、婚纱和晚礼服、戒指、他妈的假花，要花那么多的钱。人们乐意为了一场婚礼欠下大规模的债务，简直他妈是疯了。

We're looking to do a super tiny ceremony, followed by a family party. I'm struggling to find a photographer who has packages that AREN'T a fuckton of photos in different poses and configurations, photos and video of a whole ceremony, etc. We want some shots of the ceremony, and some candids of the after party. Nothing crazy.
我们本来打算做一个非常小规模的庆典，然后是家庭聚会。我根本找不到一个不会从各种角度和设置拍摄一大堆的照片，把一整场庆典都用视频和照片记录下来的摄影师。我们只是想随便照两张照片，以及婚礼之后派对上的一点直拍而已。不至于那么疯狂。

But there's also probably a ton of things that make event photography harder than I think it is, so I'm in a weird position. I don't want to be sold more than what we want/need, but I also don't want to be an unreasonable asshole trying to tell someone how to do their job.
但是或许也有很多的东西让摄影比我想象中的要困难很多。所以我现在的定位很尴尬。我不想买自己不需要的东西，但是我也不想当一个不可理喻的啥比，指导别人怎么干活。

Retired wedding photographer here. Often the charges are so high because weddings are a one time deal, there is no redo, there is no losing photos, the processes to manage data integrity and cost of equipment needs to be covered across multiple weddings. I never lost a Bride's photos and thank goodness. Also at the high end, good photographers are in high demand often booked out years in advance. A lot of hours go in behind the scenes. Taking photos is about 5% of the job. Good wedding photographers don't get to have bad days. Having said that, I feel for you. Managing a budget for a wedding can be a complete nightmare.
我是退休的婚庆摄影师。通常来说收费很高都是因为婚礼只有一次，不可能重来，因此不允许拍丢照片，保证数据完整和设备的成本需要通过多场婚礼来收回。我这辈子从没弄丢过哪个新娘的照片，谢天谢地。而且在高端场合，好的摄影师通常都会很抢手，需要提前几年预约。幕后要花很长的时间。拍照片可能只占这份工作的5%。好的婚庆摄影师永远不会吃不饱饭。但话虽如此，我也能理解你。为婚礼节约开支确实是个噩梦。

2 years ago I bought a color laser printer instead. ~750 pages later my starter black toner is about half, and the colors are about 1/3 gone. Well worth the high price tag to replace the toners.
两年前我买了个彩色激光打印机。打了750张纸左右，我随机附赠的黑色墨盒用了快一半，彩色用了三分之一左右。很值得换墨盒的高价。

People did with finding ways to refill them or companies creating “compatible” cartridges. Then manufacturers fired back by installing a chip reader in the printers and requiring cartridges to have a compatible chip.
人们研究明白了，或者是重新灌墨，或者是有公司制造“可兼容”的墨盒。然后打印机的生产商就反击了，往打印机里放了个芯片阅读器，要求墨盒里面也装一个兼容的芯片才行。

Then the Great Chip Crisis because of Covid meant that companies would lose out on selling ink altogether, so then they either created firmware upxes or created tutorials for customers to defeat the mechanism.
然后新冠导致的芯片危机就来了，公司可能要完全失去卖墨的业务了，于是他们要么进行固件升级，要么教消费者怎么把自己弄的这个机制关掉。

Printer ink is extremely cheap. But all the big printer companies make the ink cartridge work only for their printer brand. So mini monopoly = they can do a massive mark up on the ink. There are some companies that use a generic carriage that only takes a few dollars.
打印机的墨其实特别便宜。但是所有的大型打印机公司都把自己家的墨盒弄得只能自己的打印机才能用。所以这是微型垄断，他们可以给墨盒标上大价钱。也有些公司会用不贴牌的墨盒，那种只要几美元。

我家社区这边的房屋在2020年1月的价格大约是50万美元。现在已经买到80多万了。我根本想不通两年内竟然能涨70%。我为所有现在想要买房的人感到难过，尤其是第一次买房的人。

Parents bought a house for 100k in 2015. It’s now worth around 275k. That’s insane to me. Meanwhile the house they bought at the height of of the previous shitstorm in 2007 just sold recently for almost 100% more than they bought it for then. Just take that in for a second….the house they bought at the formerly worst time there was to buy a house…just sold a few months ago for almost twice as much as they bought it for back then. (With maybe 10k worth of work done).
2015年父母花10万买了栋房子。现在值27.5万。我觉得简直疯了。而他们在2007年上次金融危机之前买的房子，最近卖出的价格是他们当时买的价格的将近两倍。好好想想吧……他们在上次，房价最糟糕最不该买的时候买的房子，前几个月卖掉的价格仍然是买房子的时候的将近两倍。（或许花费的功夫大概值一万美元）。

This sounds weird right? Well, as I recall it, there was a rumour that Adobe wanted to get their software on as many computers as possible, they wanted to become the standard and thus weren't as concerned with piracy. They got most of their money from corporate or legit businesses, so piracy served the purpose of getting their products out there so that everyone learns how to use it and that's the norm. I would argue that if that was their strategy it paid off in the long run.
听起来很怪对不对？据我所知，有传言说Adobe希望他们的软件在越多的计算机上安装越好，他们希望能够成为行业标准，因此他们并不在乎盗版。他们的钱基本上都是从公司或者合法企业上挣的，所以盗版的作用是让他们的产品遍布各地，让所有人都学会怎么用，让它成为行业标准。我觉得如果这就是他们的战略的话，那么长期来看这套战略奏效了。

I would take home hundreds of dollars worth of flower arrangements because otherwise they’d just go in the trash.
我在婚庆行业干了好几年。人们光是在花朵装饰上就会花几千美元，然后扔在我们的会场上，因为他们不想带回家，或者不能带回家。我得把价值几百美元的插花带回家，不然就得进垃圾桶。

So I found out recently from someone who used to work for a large cinema company that the reason concessions are so expensive at the theatre is because the movie studios take about 80% of the sales for each ticket. It’s part of the contract the theatre signs to get big name films in their business. But that also means in order to turn a profit, they have to charge out the ass for food and drinks.
我最近从某个在大型电影院公司工作的人那里得知，电影票那么贵的原因是电影工作室会收走每张票的80%。这是电影院签订合同的一部分，为了让大制作在自己的影院上映。但是这同时也意味着，为了更好的利润，他们只能从食物和饮料上收大价钱。

Stations typically make less Than $.02 per gallon. Many less than $.01. Even when the price changes multiple times a day, as it's all sold via "consignment" meaning you only pay for the fuel that's pumped. That's why sometimes you'll see a gas price change more than once per day. The station gets the call that the price is higher, so they have to change the price on the signs and at the pump immediately otherwise they're going to lose a ton of $.
通常来说加油站只能从每加仑的油里挣不到0.02美元。很多加油站甚至不到0.01美元。就算是价格每天变好几次的时候也是如此，因为油都是要分“批”销售的，也就是说你只需要为加进去的油肤浅。所以有时候你会看见油价一天变好几次。加油站接到电话说油价涨了，那么他们就得立刻把油泵上的价格也改掉，不然就要亏一大笔钱。

Knew a guy that was friends with the local fuel delivery company. He built a huge gas station because his friend promised he'd make $.05-$.08 per gallon. That's the highest margin for fuel at a gas station I've even seen. I worked in the indistry for years on both US coasts.
认识个朋友，他和当地的燃油运输公司是朋友。他造了个大加油站，因为他朋友跟他说每加仑能挣0.05-0.08美元。那是我这辈子见过的最高的燃油利润了。我在美国的两个海岸都干过这一行，干了好几年。

Yep. Manager sleeps in the day it switches from $3.89 to $4.09 and the station loses hundreds in expenses. The money is made on snacks and booze.
没错。如果经理在白天睡着了，而油价从3.89美元涨到了4.09美元的话，那么加油站就要损失好几百了。钱都要通过小吃和酒水挣。

Absolutely true. Theatres make very little off ticket sales. Without the expensive concessions, they couldn’t afford to run the business.
完全没错。影院只能从票价中赚到很少的钱。如果没有昂贵的小吃，他们就开不起电影院了。

Clothes. I was at a factory in Bangladesh once where they were making products for a well known brand. The factory owner handed me a top and said "Take it, it'll be worth loads by the time you get home".
衣服。我曾经去过孟加拉国的一个工厂，他们给一个很出名的牌子做衣服。工厂老板给了我一件上衣，对我说“拿着吧，等你回国之后这衣服能贵好多。”

Sure enough, when I got home, the same design top was being sold for about £60-£70. It cost them about a quid to manufacture.
确实。我回国之后，同样设计的上衣卖了60-70英镑。生产成本只有一英镑。

问题不在于我们在欧洲或北美花多少钱买衣服。问题在于这些钱没有一点流到工人的手里。

The factory I was in was up to standard, but even then the equipment was outdated, the manufacturing techniques were out of date, the facilities were old, it looked like all the money was go to the owner.
我之前去的那家算是符合行业标准的，但就算如此，其生产设备仍然是过时的，生产技术是老旧的，生产设施也是老旧的，好像所有钱都流进所有者的腰包了。

Beats by Dre are overpriced trash. Most of their annual budget goes to advertising rather than R&D. They even put weights in the headphones so they feel like they have more hardware in them then they really do.
Beats by Dre（译注：那个红色b的耳机）就是定价过高的垃圾。他们年度预算的绝大部分都花在了营销上，而不是研发上。他们甚至往耳机里放配重，让人们觉得里面有更多的硬件，实际上并非如此。

Edit: Apparently some of their models have gotten much better since the apple acquisition. That doesn't change anything for me considering apple deserves to be in the discussion as well. While they make good stuff, I think we can all agree the price markup is one of the biggest in tech
编辑：显然在苹果收购了他们之后，他们的一些型号变得好了很多。但是这并不会改变我的想法，我认为苹果本身也值得拿来批判一番。尽管他们做的东西不错，但是我们或许都同意，他们的标价是科技企业最高的。

Haha. That was an old marketing tactic on the first computers in the late 70s and early 80s. They put weights in some computers because people picked them up and assumed “this has more stuff, therefore it’s better”

Soda at restaurants, I used to be a manager at McDonalds and did the math one time on how much we expected to make from everything, it takes less than 3 cents to make a large cup of soda including the cup, lid and straw. Some places charge you $2 a cup sit down restaurants offer refills but still charge you like 5 or more

You're not even paying for a JPEG. You're paying for an encrypted number which is just a receipt that say you "own" a JPEG. It's like paying to name a star. Or buying land on the moon.
你甚至不是花钱买一张JPEG图片。你是在买一串加密数字，这串数字是个收据，证明你“拥有”JPEG。就像是你花钱去命名一个行星。或者购买月球表面的土地。

Random razor tip: Dry them after every use and they'll last a minimum of 6 months. Your facial hair doesn't dull the blade, water does, so dry them thoroughly after every use and you will save yourself a nice chunk of change.
剃须刀小贴士：每次用完都擦干，至少能用六个月。你的胡子不会把刀刃磨钝，但是水会，所以每次用完都彻底擦干，你就能剩下一大笔换刀头的钱。

This is incorrect. A hair has the same hardness as copper of the same diameter. Razor are mechanically the same as a saw on a very small scale. Hair will bend or break those little teeth. However rust is still a major cause of irritation/dulling from many razors, cartridges especially.
这其实不正确。毛发的硬度与相同直径的铜丝相当。在非常小的尺度上，剃刀在力学上和锯是一样的。头发会把那些小锯齿掰弯或者掰断。当然锈蚀仍然是很多剃须刀的感染、钝化的主要来源，尤其是盒剃刀。

Try using a full headshave with a razor, then shaving half your face with it, and then shave the other half with a new blade. You will feel the difference.
你可以试试用剃须刀把头剃光，然后剃左半边脸，再用全新的刀头剃右半边脸。你会感觉到区别的。
