BEC高级真题短语解析：“Out of habit”

Out of habit：do something simply because you are used to doing it, for no other reason. （出于习惯）

例句：Some organizations offer discounts out of habit, while others never give any kind of discount. A ‘quantity discount’ can attract customers: the more they buy, the lower the unit price. ‘Prompt-payment’ discounts are another inducement to the customer (usually retailers), whereby if payment is made quickly, the amount payable is less than it would normally be. { 例句出处：《剑桥BEC高级真题集第五辑：P28》}

翻译：一些公司习惯性地提供一些折扣，而另外一部分则从不给任何形式折扣。一种“量多优惠”的方式可以吸引顾客，买的越多，价格就越优惠。“即时付款优惠”则是吸引顾客（尤其是搞批发零售的）的另一种引导因素。只要付款及时，需要支付的金额就会比平时要低。
