(单词翻译)
They say that men don’t like to ask for directions. Well, that reluctance1 to seek expert advice may extend to the shopping cart. Because a study in the Journal of Consumer Marketing2 finds that guys also will likely avoid asking salespeople3 for suggestions about wine.
Researchers from the University of New Hampshire set their sights on vino because lots of people drink the stuff, so lots of people purchase it. And choosing which wine to bring to a party or to offer the boss is one of those things that can induce different degrees of anxiety, depending on one’s experience and general level of snobbishness4, I’m sorry, confidence.
The scientists surveyed more than 500 participants, asking whether and where they might turn for advice when selecting a wine for themselves or for others. And they found that women tend to talk to friends, family, or the guy stocking the shelves, before making a purchase. Whereas guys are more likely to go it alone or to rely on information they’d found online or next to the register. So wine merchants take heed5. Ads seem to work on guys. Now all they have to do is find their way to the liquor store.
