We are bored out of our minds.
简直无聊到爆!
We lack the physical endurance for shopping that all women seem to possess.
我们似乎缺乏所有女性都具备的那种逛街时的超强体力。
WE ARE BORED OUT OF OUR MINDS. Oh, sorry, I already said that.
我们简直无聊到爆!哦哦,sorry,刚才已经说过了。
I think men's and women's minds are just wired differently when it comes to shopping.
我觉得男人和女人在购物这件事上,大脑构造很不同。
Men generally don't spend hours deciding color, comparison shopping or finding the sale prices. We know what we want, we get in, buy our shit, and get out. 10-15 minutes and we're done. Mission accomplished.
我们男人通常不会花好几个小时去决定颜色、货比三家或者去找特价产品。我们知道自己想买什么,走进去,买完就闪人,10-15分钟搞定,任务完成!
This mentality is inconsistent with how a woman shops, in my experience. My girlfriend is a bona fide Macy's addict and that company has perfected the way to feed her addiction. They send her coupons. Without checking, I can almost guarantee she has three or four of them in her purse right now. Women love getting deals. That is what takes so long. Going from store to store, trying to find the best ones. Even after she has purchased something, she has this irresistible urge to check out the price to see if it was lower, when we see the same thing elsewhere.
女人购物时的心态就完全和男人不同。就个人经历而言,我女票是梅西百货的死忠粉,梅西百货制定了完美的策略来套牢她。例如送优惠券给她,用脚趾头我都知道她包里绝壁有三四张优惠券了。女人们就是爱占小便宜,这也是为啥女人购物特花时间的原因。从一间店逛到另一间店,想要找到最划算的,即使已经买了一样东西,当看到别的店在卖相同的东西时,还是忍不住去看看价格会不会更便宜。
The trying on of garments also takes a long time. Not sure why. I know if my girlfriend goes into the dressing room, I won't see her again for the next 20-30 minutes.
试衣服也要花好长时间,真的搞不懂!!一旦我女票走进试衣间,接下来20-30分钟都不会出来了。
I sit there waiting patiently, contemplating the meaning of life or if I should just end mine right now.
而我就坐那儿耐心地等着,脑子里想的是人生的意义或者要不要自我了结这种人生大事!
Then, she'll say nothing fits just right. Or the color wasn't right. Or, "It makes me look fat."
然后,她走出来,说“没一件合适”!!??或者“颜色不合适”、“显胖”!
"You mean you're not going to buy anything?"
“额,你是说你啥也不买?”
"No, let's go."
“嗯,闪人吧!”
Sigh.
无语!!
