Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION TEXT A 购物——男人完成任务,女人在探险 珍妮弗·瓦特斯 1. 通常认为,男性只有在要更换物品时才去购物,他 们去商场和购物中心时比较实际。购物是一项任务:进 商店,购买所需物品,出来,行动非常迅速。而女性呢, 一般喜欢东瞧瞧西看看,和销售人员聊聊,体验购物的 乐趣。她们各处闲逛,闻闻香水,摸摸衣服,试试化妆 品。她们需要别人的关注,希望有人介绍说明。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 2. 这种差别就像古代的狩猎者与采集者的差别一样, 葆拉·库尔特内说。她通过电话随机抽样采访了1205位消 费者。她的这项研究名为“男人买,女人逛” 。 3. “男人以完成任务为目的,而女人的目的更多的是 与商场里的人建立关系,与他们进行接触和互动,” 库 尔特内说。“不要只是给我指个方向说在第六排,”一名 接受调查的男子说,“我更希望他带我过去并对我说‘就 在这里。’”如果销售员能陪同男性顾客到付款台以便他 们能快一点结账,那就更好了。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 4. 接受调查的女性告诉调查员,她们喜欢销售人员向 她们展示不同的款式和新产品。“我告诉她我要买什么, 为什么要买;她去帮我找合适的,”一位女士说,“我什 么也不用做。” Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 5. 女性购物遇到的问题比男性多:这没什么值得大惊 小怪的。百分之二十的女性说她们曾被销售人员忽视过。 “对女性来说被忽视是一个大问题,” 库尔特内说,“这 会影响她们购物的忠诚度。”男性去商店也会无功而返, 但最主要的原因是产品脱销了。 6. 接受调查的男性和女性都说,如果店员让他们按自 己的节奏购物,让他们没有压力,他们会很喜欢。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 7. 消费者的忠诚度与年龄也有关。年龄越小,就越有 可能对商店糟糕的服务表示不满。最挑剔的顾客群是 18 岁至 35岁的男性。“我不会告诉他们,说他们做得不好, ”一个小伙子说,“就让他们失去生意吧。我是不会再去 那里了。” 8. 也有购物者谈到“棒极了”的购物经历,虽然这样的 次数并不多。51%的女性说曾有销售人员尽了近乎英雄 般的努力帮她们解决问题,而只有39%的男性表示有过 这种经历。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 9. “这种美好的购物经历发生的频率虽然没有购物时 出现问题的频率高,但确实存在。” 库尔特内说。“就 是那种‘今天多亏了她’的故事。通常是因为出了什么问 题,销售员费了九牛二虎之力解决了问题,让购物者心 里好受些。” Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 10. “人们对自己的情绪记得很清楚,而情绪体验令人 印象深刻,”库尔特内说。印象如此深刻以致他们会告 诉他们的朋友,朋友又会告诉他们的朋友,一直口口相 传下去。女性和男性传递愉快经历的可能性是传递不愉 快经历的四倍。“如果把顾客看作一个单一的群体,认 定大家的需求都一样,给这样的顾客群提供服务是很容 易的,”库尔特内说,“但是顾客往往有不同的需求。最 简单的方法是根据顾客的性别提供不同的服务,这样才 能赢得顾客的心。” 11. 不过,归根到底,女性才是购物皇后。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION TEXT B 如何在为孩子购买衣服时传授价值观 季沙·(库拉克·)托拉尔 1. 有时候,我的那些年轻一辈的亲戚们拥有的物品数 量之多简直让我难以置信,尤其是昂贵的新科技产品和 品牌服装。当然,我并不是要打听他们家里所执行的预 算额度——如果有的话。但许多家长都面临这样的问题: 孩子们的购物习惯很容易失控。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 2. 现在越来越多的家庭制定预算,并遵照执行,导致 孩子们因为得不到他们想要的东西而着急或难过,或者 至少觉得自己应该拥有。弥合与孩子之间的这一情感鸿 沟的一个重要方法是就这个问题与孩子商量,制定一个 预算计划,让孩子们参与家庭财务管理。孩子会要求买 很多东西,衣服只是其中的一样。考虑到衣服是一项生 活必需品,我们不妨拿衣服来举例说明。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 3. 尽管家庭作为一个整体已有一套固定的预算,但是 父母仍然可以在预算内再为孩子们制定一个预算,让他 们认识金钱的真正价值。每个月设定一个预算限额,这 样可以帮助孩子明白,他们需要花时间好好想一想自己 需要什么,让他们从小就会控制自己的购物冲动。 4. 但父母不能只是给孩子金钱和预算,否则就会错过 一个重要的让孩子了解金钱价值的机会。相反,父母要 利用这种经历让孩子习惯于自己赚钱。即使五岁的孩子 也可以通过在家里做点家务赚点钱。孩子越大,可做的 事情就越多,父母付给他的钱也就越多。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 5. 一旦预算已经制定,孩子可能赚到的金额也已经确 定,就该再前进一步,教会孩子如何明智地花自己的辛 苦钱。帮助他们确定他们需要什么,然后帮助他们找到 最划算的价格。要让他们知道,不能仅仅因为某个店铺 标了一个价格,另一家店就不会提供折扣。孩子大多会 享受学习购物的乐趣,最重要的是,他们享受与父母在 一起的时光。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 6. 在按照预算把钱给了孩子之后,家长要继续指导他 们,直到他们能懂得怎样使用。家长务必要让他们明白, 自己需要什么要事先计划,以确保自己能够负担得起。 家长要让他们明白,如果把所有的钱都用来买了那双漂 亮的运动鞋就没有钱买参加学校舞会穿的新牛仔裤了。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 7. 对认真“上财务课”并且遵守预算的孩子,爸爸和妈 妈可以额外给予小小的奖励。也许孩子一直想要商场里 的那件新夹克并且为此一直在努力攒钱。作为奖励,家 长可以在可承受的范围内帮一把。这可以告诉孩子,只 要勤奋肯干,奖励会随之而来。 Article
Unit 4 Shopping TRANSLATION 8. 孩子爱表现自己,而时装通常是他们表达自我的一 种的方式。当给了孩子责任,让他自己攒钱买衣服之后, 爸爸或妈妈需要少控制一些,要允许孩子买他们想要买 的。如果对他们买的东西有意见,也一定要选在恰当的 时机提出。孩子要在犯错后才能不断地了解金钱、理解 人生。 Article
