喜欢shopping的人大概都知道window shopping吧？对，就是“橱窗购物”，也就是只看不买。爱逛街的女孩子们肯定都会说这个词。不过，今天我们要说的是主要针对男同胞的，似乎他们平时不怎么爱逛街，就算到了商场也是买了东西就走人。他们购物所花的时间就叫做shopping window。

Shopping window 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.

Shopping window指某男逛街时的实际购物时间，我们就称其为“男性购物时间”。这个购物时间可能短到一秒都不到，而对都市美男来说，也可能会持续好几个小时；购物的类型也不拘一格，可能是去杂货店，也可能是去设计师专营店。另外，这个男性购物时间也可以通过借鉴一些女生常用的策略来延长，比如，给陪同的伙伴手里塞个装有打砖块游戏的黑莓手机让他玩，或者安排他坐在前面有sportscenter节目可看的休息沙发上。

例句：

Dude, I am totally down to go try on a few pairs of jeans right now, but I am letting you know that my shopping window is only about 45 minutes today.
哥们儿，我现在要去试几条牛仔裤，不过我跟你说好，我今天的购物时间只有45分钟而已。

注：sportscenter是美国有线电视网ESPN频道的一个体育新闻节目。
