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(nèi)褲給戀人，因為在低迷的經(jīng)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(zhǔn)備在內(nèi)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(nèi)衣比較便宜，存放的時間也長。玫瑰花很快就會枯萎，但是內(nèi)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。
