anincreasingly popular way to do this.

好，
也就是说我们可以选到最适合的商品。

these
are the
kind of opinions orcomments about the
product.

W: So it seems
browsing
—
that's looking at
things to buy but not
actually
purchasingsomething
in
store
—
is
set
to
increase.
Does
this
mean
the death of the high
street?
女：
现在到实体店只浏览不消费的现象越来越严重。
这
是不是意味着实体店
将要关门大吉
?
M: I think it
will have to adapt or make changes. It could try
to
compete on price more or offermore
incentives when you are in the shop.
男：
我觉
得实体店的商家应该适应市场变化或者寻求一些改变。

there and then. Perhapsa discount
