詞族

showroom noun / verb 展示間;先到店試看再上網購買・showrooms plural noun 展示間(複數)・showrooming noun 先到實體店試看再上網購買的行為・showroomed verb (past tense / past participle) 先到店試看再上網購買(過去式/過去分詞)

四選一

The retail report suggests that customers may ____ office chairs, examining them in a shop and then buying them online.

  • showrooming
  • showroomed
  • showrooms
  • showroom
看答案

showroom

may 後接原形動詞,因此選 showroom,表示先到店試看再上網購買。showrooming 是 -ing 形式;showroomed 是過去式或過去分詞;showrooms 作動詞時是第三人稱單數,都不能直接接在此處的 may 後。

同義改寫

The sales representative arranged the new office desks in the showroom before the client arrived. → The sales representative arranged the new office desks in the room used to display products to potential customers before the client arrived.
改寫說明 showroom 是向潛在客戶展示商品的房間,保留擺放辦公桌的動作與時間。
The store manager noted that some customers showroom office chairs. → The store manager noted that some customers examine office chairs in a physical shop and then buy them online.
改寫完整保留動詞 showroom 的先到實體店試看、再上網購買兩個步驟,未額外加入價格較低的條件。
