showrooming 展厅现象

Bookstore owners everywhere have a lurking suspicion: that the customers who type into their smartphones while browsing in the store, and then leave, are planning to buy the books online later. 

各地的书店店主都在隐隐怀疑：顾客在店里浏览时，还在不停地按手机，之后就离开了。这些顾客计划随后网购。

Now a survey has confirmed that the practice, known among booksellers as showrooming, is not a figment of their imaginations. 

如今一项调查确认，书商所说的这种“展厅现象”并不是他们臆想出来的。
