Talk into

售貨員口齒伶俐，有時不得不讚嘆他們說服客人購物（talk customers into buying）的功力，再加上減價的誘惑，顧客更容易被游說。

動詞talk可以加上不同的介詞（preposition）組成不同意思的動詞短語（phrasal verbs）.Talk someone into doing something，指to persuade someone to do something（說服某人做某事）。例句：He talked me into going to Paris with his parents even though I didn't want to.（雖然我不想，但他說服我跟他父母去巴黎。）相反，talk someone out of something，指to persuade someone not to do something（說服某人不要做某事）。例句：I wanted to buy a new handbag but he talked me out of it saying it was too expensive.（我想買個新手袋，但他說服我不要買，說它太昂貴了。）

其他talk字的動詞短語有talk around、talk back、talk through等等，它們都與talk有關，但具體意思分別是指「兜圈子談」、「頂嘴」、「詳細講解」。例句：Stop talking around it. Just tell me what's wrong.（不要再兜圈，直接跟我說出問題。）How could you talk back to your teacher like that？（你怎能那樣與老師頂嘴﹖）Let me talk you through the procedure.（讓我給你詳細講解程序。）
