Is this correct, 'if you buy two juices, you can get a 50% discount for the second cup'?
Or 'if you buy a second cup, you can get a 50% discount'? How do we express it naturally? In Chinese it means 第二杯半价
Thanks!!

You can say:
'If you buy two juices, you can get a 50% discount on the second cup'
or, more naturally, perhaps 'Buy one juice, get a second one half price.'
By the way, we don't generally drink juice from cups. Cups are usually for hot drinks like tea and coffee. Juice comes in glasses.

I think we would say in English - "Buy one and get the second one half price." - as we usually expect people to buy two.
