She thought that the shop assistants in the best wine shops might judg

21、e their customers by theirclothes. So she decided to test this in her research.從前，倫敦有位記者想進(jìn)行一些酒店方面的調(diào)查研究。她想了解哪些商店提出的建議和提供的服務(wù)最好。她認(rèn)為最好的酒類商店的店員可能是憑顧客的穿著來對待顧客 的。因此，她決定在她的調(diào)查中檢驗(yàn)這個問題。The woman put on a long raincoat. She did up the buttons in such a way that one at the bottom was not done up. Then she went t

22、o six different wine shops. She said that she wanted to buy two bottles of wine for a special dinner and explained what food she was planning to cook. She also said that she did not mind how much money she spent. In fact,the meal she was preparing was not an important one.So good,ordinary wine would

23、 be suitable.這位女記者穿上一件長雨衣。她在扣雨衣的紐扣時故意漏扣最下邊的一顆。然后她就 走了六家不同的酒類商店。她說她要為一次特別宴會買兩瓶酒，還說明她準(zhǔn)備燒什么 菜。她還說并不在乎花多少錢。事實(shí)上，她打算做的這頓并不是什么了不起的飯，因 此，一般的好酒也就過得去了。At one shop,the assistant almost laughed at her. He judged that,because she was a woman,she did not understand about wine. In another shop, the assistant treat

24、ed her very well and advised her to buy some ordinary, but very pleasant wine. The situation in the sixth shop was the most interesting. The assistant did not take her seriously, and advised her to buy two bottles of very expensive wine. What was worse,this wine was not at all suitable for drinking with a meal. Finally,he did not give her the right change,but kept back five pounds.在一家商店里，店員幾乎是在嘲笑 她。他認(rèn)定她不懂酒，因?yàn)樗莻€女人。在另一家 商店里，店員對她很好，并且建議她買一些普通的但又很可口的酒。在第六家酒類商 店里遇到的情況是最有趣的。店員并不把她當(dāng)回事，并且建議她買兩瓶很貴的酒。
