I want to be a part of it 加入感恩节疯狂购 Thanksgiving (which falls this year on 27 November, next Thursday) heralds the beginning of New York’s “holiday season” and, more importantly, fires the starting gun on a one-month spendathon that Manhattanites train for all year. The Big Apple’s holiday shopping battle cry – “If you’ve got the energy, we’ve got the shopping hours” – is a challenge locals rise to effortlessly. Unlike lesser shoppers, these highly tuned consumers feed off the kinetic energy produced by the Bloomingdales bag-carrying crowds, and thrive on endless loops of Nat King Cole melodies. Want to be a part of it? You need to plan strategically. 感恩节的到来宣示了纽约“假日季”的开始，更重要的是，它打响了曼哈顿全年最疯狂的购物时刻，一场历时一个月的狂欢购物拉力赛。纽约假日血拼战拉开帷幕——“只要你买，我们就卖”——这是在挑战人们的购买上限。和少数购物者不同的是，这些购买者中的战斗机来自布卢明代尔斯百货公司那些打了一身鸡血的购物狂，纳京高的旋律无限循环。想加入吗？你需要从长计议。 First, get your consumer blood pumping with a little window-shopping. Until the mid-1990s, strict planning laws limited the number of chain stores in one area. Since then, midtown Manhattan has become more like the Midwest; dull franchises predominate, with most of the posh designer outlets having moved uptown. 首先，在橱窗放置能让你的顾客血液沸腾的商品。在20世纪90年代中期，严格规划法限制了一个区域的连锁店数量。自此，曼哈顿市中心看起来更像中西部地区了；城区被毫无特色的专营品占据，许多名牌特卖店都移到住宅区。 The biggest names – and the best window displays – are on Madison Avenue, between 60th and 80th streets. Here, top of the shops for outlandish windows has to be Barneys. The windows feature the last word in edgy designer fashion, with price tags to render those who venture inside equally edgy. A short stroll south, Bergdorf Goodman is the more classic New York department store, whose hallowed halls are the preserve of sugar daddies and wealthy widows and whose oh-so-elegant windows conjure up images of Bogart shopping for Bacall. Just opposite, FAO Schwartz is the city’s classiest toy store with its doormen in toy soldier outfits and windows crammed with thousand-dollar stuffed animals and Orient Express-style train sets. 最大腕的品牌——最豪华的橱窗展示——全部云集在
