<< review queue entry 34476 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 33 million google hits Not completely satisfied with my def. "她花太多時間血拼。" Hudong: “血拼”是现在生活和媒体中出现频率较高的一个新词语，属于音译外来词，来自英文 shopping。shopping的英文含义就是“购物”。但“血拼”不是一般的购物，而是指疯狂 购物、抢购、有发泄倾向的购物，具有购物数量多、时间长、购物无目的等特点。人 们将此行为称作“血拼”，形象的刻画出花钱时的疯狂、冲动、不管不顾和之后略带悔 恨和心疼的心情，同时又让人联想到战场上的浴血拼杀，竞技、比赛中刀光剑影的比 拼。 Editor: Yves, I liked this phrase of yours, though I have taken it out of the context of your comment. I think this definition is at least as good as "shopping for shopping's sake" anyway, if not much better. As you suggested, I have withdrawn "impulse buying" as off the mark. Oops -- I somehow missed the fact that we already had an entry for this word -- oh, well, I'll update it to indicate that it doesn't include "shopping for groceries" and so forth. |
