标题：A Little Bit of Shopping, All the Time

Why it’s so exhausting to buy stuff now

正文：For several months, I had been on the hunt for new T-shirts. I vaguely had a vision of what they should look like: not so different from my current T-shirts, except in some way elevated and, more urgent, free of stains or holes. Perhaps they could come in interesting colors? Ideally, they would not be made in sweatshops. There were many, many shirts that seemed to meet these criteria—and with a few clicks, they could be delivered to my doorstep, maybe even by tomorrow. And still, I had purchased none of them.

知识点：be on the hunt for /bi ɒn ðə hʌnt fɔː/ 固定短语
英文释义：be on the hunt for something means to be actively and persistently 
searching for something over a period of time 本义为"在狩猎、在追捕"，日常寻物与求职语境核心义为"持续地、费力地四处物色某样东西，暗含'找了很久还没找到'"（本文特指：作者用它形容自己找T恤的状态——把买一件最普通的衣服，说成一场持续数月、目标不明的狩猎，这个词本身就是全文疲惫感的第一个信号）核心搭配：on the hunt for a job、on the hunt for a new apartment、house-hunting、job hunting、bargain-hunting
・Venture funds are on the hunt for AI startups with real revenue rather than 
impressive demos. 风投基金正在四处寻找有真实营收的AI创业公司，而不是只会做漂亮演示的。
・After the layoffs, half the department was suddenly on the hunt for work in a shrinking market. 裁员之后，半个部门突然要在一个不断萎缩的市场里找工作。
