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。
