Mall People
Having fun at entertainment centers can exhaust one’s pocket money or bank account. By the time a person has ridden the Ferris Wheel, the Crazy Mouse, Roller Coaster, and played video games, he may have little money left to buy movie tickets or eat a substantial dinner. As a result, he may turn from winning,dining and moviegoing to the nearby free-parking, free-admission shopping malls. Indeed, shopping malls are not just a paradise for youngsters; it can offer much to all. Teenagers, lovers on dates, and the nuclear family can all be observed having a good time at this alternative recreation spot. First of all, teenagers are the largest group of mallgoers. The boys saunter by in sneakers, T-shirts, and blue jeans, complete with a package of cigarettes sticking out of their pockets. The girls stumble along in high-heeled shoes and fancy hairstyles, with hairbrushes tucked in the rear pockets of their tight-fitting designer jeans. Traveling in a gang that resembles a wolf pack, the teenagers make the shopping mall their hunting ground. Their raised voices, loud laughter and occasional shouted obscenities can be heard from as for as half a mile away. They basically just come to “hang out”.

They spend their dates at shopping malls, walking hand in hand, stopping to sneak a quick kiss after every few steps. Those people would first pause at jewelry store windows so they can gaze at diamond engagement rings and gold wedding bands. Then, they wander into furniture departments in the large mall stores. Whispering happily to each other, they imagine how that five-piece living room set or DVD or super screen TV would look in their future home. Wearing a dreamy expression on the face, they would smile heartily from time to time. Finally,they drift away, their arms wrapped around each other's waists. 百货商店的顾客中第二大群体是情侣。他们选择在百货商店里面约会，手拉手散步，没走几步就停下来快速吻一下。他们一般会先在珠宝店橱窗里停下来，盯着钻石订婚戒指和金婚戒看一会儿。然后，他们在大型商场的家具部门闲逛。他们愉快地互相耳语着，想象着这五件套客厅家具或DVD或超级屏幕电视将如何在他们未来的家中布置。想到这里，他们脸上会浮现出梦幻般的表情，并且时不时地会心地微笑着。直到最后，他们相拥着渐渐离去。
