嗨,大家好!「window shopping」這句習語,我們知道window是「窗戶」的意思,shopping有「購物」的意思。但是「window shopping」可不是「窗戶購物」的意思。
window shopping的意思是「the activity of spending time looking at the goods on sale in shop windows without intending to buy any of them」,即「瀏覽商店櫥窗(無意購買)」。
例句:
He walked along Oxford Street but he was only window shopping.
他沿著牛津街行走,但他只是溜街看看櫥窗。
下面再介紹兩個習語:
rip-off
rip-off的意思是「something that is not worth what you pay for it」,即「索價過高的物品」。
例句如下:
$300 for a T-shirt! What a rip-off!
300美元買一件T恤衫!太不值了!
retail therapy
retail therapy的意思是「the act of buying special things for yourself in order to feel better when you are unhappy」,即「(不高興時透過為自己買些特殊商品來排解的)購物療法」。
舉個例子:
I needed a lot of retail therapy to help me get over my ex-boyfriend.
我需要不斷購物以幫助忘記我的前任男友。
以上就是今天所學內容,你學會了嗎?
