. Explanation: 自主 means autonomy in the sense of not being tied up in the mechanics of buying. The meaning is "how much time the buyer must spend making the purchase <before he can go about his normal business away from and independent of the sales website>", with less time being better. In English we would just say "how quickly the purchase can be made". I would telescope the Chinese into "ease of search, the user interface, and how quickly the transaction can be completed". If my explanation is correct, I wonder why the writer chose such a confusing way of putting it, confusing even to the asker who is a native Chinese speaker. |

peer agreement (net): +2freedom to shop when they want Explanation: There's a couple of things this could mean freedom to shop when they want no time pressure when shopping/ample time to browse -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day18 mins (2012-12-31 02:39:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That's interesting. Yeah, on the mainland it's very common. I think it will change now that Amazon is here, but a lot of online commerce goes through Taobao, and on Taobao it's normal to have a quick chat with the person you're buying from. |
