face consumption 面子消费
These purchases, which are not for practical needs, but merely to show off and gratify the owners'vanity, are called "face consumptions".这种消费行为不完全是为了实质需要,更多是出于炫耀和满足面子的目的,因此被叫做面子消费。文中的face consumptions就是指面子消费,这种消费行为常见存在于现代社会的年轻人群体中。怎么样用最少的钱拥有一个world famous brand bag(名牌包)?办法就是一个good imitation fake bag(高仿包)+一张receipt(购物小票)+一个paper carry bag(名牌包装纸袋)。眼下,一些人买不起TOP brand products(名牌商品),就购买一个名牌商品的纸袋,用来装东西,gratify their vanity(满足虚荣心);名牌商品的购物小票、说明书、吊牌等,在网上也明码标价,销售量很好现在,face consumptions(面子消费)、overconsuming(超前消费)在不少青年中,已经不足为奇。调查中,72.2%的人觉得是社会盲目崇富、flaunt wealth(炫富);59.2%的人觉得是money worship(拜金主义)影响,58.4%的人觉得国内文化传统就是好面子。
