临近三八女性节，各大卖场百货公司也是拼了，各种优惠活动吸引你去烧钱。你可能以为要讲百货公司在举行优惠活动可以直接说The department store is on sale.

假如说The department store is on sale. 意思会是这家百货公司要以打折价供应了
要表达某家百货公司在举行优惠活动，正确的说法是：The department store is having a sale.或是 There is a sale at the department store.
讲了解一点可以说：SOGO is having a Mothers Day sale.
Almost every department store has sales around Christmas time.
There is a sale on electronics at that department store. Id like to check itout.
Several department stores are having their anniversary sales now. Some make-up
products are going as low as 50% off.
