说起window shopping,大家应该都不陌生吧?它说的是人们逛街的时候只会浏览橱窗里的商品,但不会花钱消费的行为,多译为“只逛不买”。在网络购物大行其道的今天,window shopping也有“电子版”了,就是monitor shopping。
Monitor shopping is another form of window shopping, except that instead of wandering in stores, all you have to do is to log onto a shopping website. You’re online only browsing, not looking for anything in particular because you can’t afford it or you don’t need any of them, but you enjoy looking anyway. Maybe you’ll save something in your favorites or shopping cart for when you do have money.
Monitor shopping(字面意思为“浏览器购物”)是“只逛不买”(window shopping)的另一种形式,只不过你闲逛的地方不再是实体商店,而是购物网站,即“只浏览不购物”。你登陆各类购物网站只是为了过过眼瘾,而不一定要买什么东西,因为你可能买不起或者根本不需要那些东西。不过单纯的浏览过程已经让你很享受了。或许你会把看中的一些东西放入收藏夹或购物车等着以后有钱了再买。
For example:
I have been monitor shopping the whole afternoon, my neck is killing me now.
我一下午都在购物网站闲逛,现在脖子疼得要命。
