What can you see in the picture?

Where are they?

They are at a yard sale.

yard sale 庭院拍卖会

A yard sale also known as garage sale, lawn sale, tag sale, etc.

Yard sales are events in the US and Canada where people sell old things that they no longer want, on the grass in front of their house — their yard. People often hold yard sales in spring when they clean out their houses and get rid of things they don’t use or want anymore. People who plan to hold a yard sale will usually put up notices around their community and put up signs to point the way to their house.

Yard sale 庭院旧货出售这是国外一种独特的售货方式。人们利用周末，将家中搁置不用的物件，放在自家庭院中廉价出售，因而被称作 yard sale ，也可译作“家庭拍卖会”。庭院售卖的物品种类繁多，大到家具，电器，小到玩具，衣物和鞋帽。这些物品虽多数为二手家什，但也有全新的物品，且价格合理公道，甚至还可讨价还价。正是这种低廉，公道的价格及买家淘宝和碰大运的心理，使得 yard sale 广受欢迎，逐渐演变成一种独特的文化现象。
