2011情人節(jié) 看英國男人送什么

 

UK men are choosing sexy knickers over short-lived and often more pricey presents such as roses and champagne this Valentine's Day as they seek a bigger "bang for their buck" in a tough economic climate.

今年情人節(jié)，英國男人放棄昂貴而短命的玫瑰花和香檳，改送性感內褲給戀人，因為在低迷的經濟環(huán)境下，他們想讓自己的錢花得更加劃算。

With a dozen red roses costing up to 100 pounds on Valentine's Day, including delivery, some men are prepared to spend a little more on lingerie, and still feel they are saving.

算上快遞費用，情人節(jié)的一打紅玫瑰要花費100英鎊左右。因此，有的男人準備在內衣上多花點，即使這樣他們也會覺得省了一筆。

"They're less expensive, last longer and provide hours of fun long after the rose petals have wilted," said Sharon Webb, head of design at department store group Debenhams.

丹本漢公司說：“內衣比較便宜，存放的時間也長。玫瑰花很快就會枯萎，但是內衣卻能帶來長時間的樂趣。”

Retailers are hoping Britons will set aside worries about rising bills, taxes and public spending cuts, to splash out on their loved ones on February 14.

零售商們希望英國人暫時將長長的賬單、上漲的稅費和削減公共開支等煩心事放在一邊，在情人節(jié)這天為愛人痛痛快快地花一次錢。
