什麼是"男性購物時間"
<P>喜歡shopping的人大概都知道window shopping吧？對，就是“櫥窗購物”，也就是只看不買。愛逛街的女孩子們肯定都會說這個詞。</P>
<P> </P>
<P>不過，今天我們要說的是主要針對男同胞的，似乎他們平時不怎麼愛逛街，就算到了商場也是買了東西就走人。</P>
<P> </P>
<P>他們購物所花的時間就叫做shopping window。</P>
<P> </P>
<P><STRONG>Shopping window</STRONG>refers to the time period during which a guy is actually engaged in the shopping experience. This period can last from almost no time at all to literally hours for a metrosexual, and includes all forms of shopping, from the grocery store to designer boutiques. It should also be noted that this period can be increased through witty girl techniques such as handing a guy a blackberry loaded with brickbreaker to play or sitting him in front of a couch with sportscenter.</P>

<P> Shopping window指某男逛街時的實際購物時間，我們就稱其為“男性購物時間”。這個購物時間可能短到一秒都不到，而對都市美男來說，也可能會持續好幾個小時；購物的類型也不拘一格，可能是去雜貨店，也可能是去設計師專營店。另外，這個男性購物時間也可以通過借鑒一些女生常用的策略來延長，比如，給陪同的夥伴手裏塞個裝有打磚塊遊戲的黑莓手機讓他玩，或者安排他坐在前面有sportscenter節目可看的休息沙發上。</P>

<P> For example:</P>
<P> Dude, I am totally down to go try on a few pairs of jeans right now, but I am letting you know that my <STRONG>shopping window</STRONG>is only about 45 minutes today.</P>
<P> 哥們兒，我現在要去試幾條牛仔褲，不過我跟你說好，我今天的購物時間只有45分鐘而已。</P>

<P> 注：sportscenter是美國有線電視網ESPN頻道的一個體育新聞節目。</P>
