【喵喵问答】今天文章中出现了"stock""share"和"equity"都是可以表达中文中〖股票〗意思，但是具体语境中还是有区别的，equity指的是the ownership interest of shareholders，即股票值。stock通常统称股票或者股票资本。share可以指的是股份，更强调的是每一份单一股票。
eg：1.he owns a controlling share of the company’s stock
2.he owns 63% of the group’equity.

❶ 5折折扣 (half-price)
大部分商品价格为原价的一半，但部分商品出现“先提价再打折”（raise the prices first and promote sales later）的现象；还有的商品销售页面显示“狂欢季”5折售卖，但价格是原价，并未打折扣。
电商这样的虚假广告宣传已经构成消费欺诈（consumer fraud）
❷ 第2件半价（buy one get one half off）
这样的广告颇具诱惑力，让人误以为第二件是5折。小编给大家做道算术题：（1+0.5）/2 = 0.75。其实商品每件只打了七五折。
一杯10元的饮料卖7.5元似乎没有什么吸引力，但“第二件只要5元”听起来很划算。电商这样的促销手段可以有效地增加销量。
❸ 特价套装（a specially priced package deal）
洗护用品经常有特价套装促销。大家动手算一算，就能得出不同套装实际折扣率。
