| Jenny: | 好呢今天呢双十一, I’m not sure how many people will be listening to us, 因为大家应该都是忙着购物。 |
| Spencer: | Yeah you guys are probably is out there busy buying buying buying. |
| Jenny: | Right because that’s what this day is a bout. |
| Spencer: | Consumerism. |
| Jenny: | 消费主义啊consumerism。好，我们先来说说这个双十一，它最早出来受叫光棍节嘛。 |
| Spencer: | Yeah, I remember that. |
| Jenny: | 对现在我学中文已经没有人会叫双十一光棍节了。但是有一些英语的媒体还是会叫它？ |
| Spencer: | Oh yeah that’s so-called Singles’ Day. |
| Jenny: | Singles’ Day单身节光棍节哈。但是呢更多的英语媒体现了就是simply call it？ |
| Spencer: | Double Eleven. |
| Jenny: | 双十一 Double Eleven. |
| a | b |
|---|---|
| Jenny: | 哎，十一月十一号在英文里面时说November eleventh吗。 |
| Spencer: | Ah yeah you to say November eleventh. |
| Jenny: | OK. 那这个双十一呢，现在也是世界上最大的一个购物节。 |
| Spencer: | It’s the world’s biggest shopping day. Ah no surprise because China has the world’s biggest everything so… |
| Jenny: | 诶，canjin啊。还有美国的媒体说Double Eleven就是中国的Black Friday。后来我们让美国人大吃一惊no no no no no。It’s our day. 你不要说什么“China’s Black Friday”。这就行的Double Eleven比你们Black Friday要大很多。 |
| Spencer: | Well this is true. It is definitely bigger, um and I can understand you know wanting to be how to say you know, labeled as a category of your own, it’s kind of just a way of having people in the West understand what this day actually does. |
| Jenny: | 这倒是。对，因为美国最大的购物节就是Black Friday黑色星期五。And that’s saying in the end of November, right? |
| Spencer: | Yes so it’s basically the day after thanksgiving. It’s, it’s if I may, if I may be a little critical here, I wonder what 吐槽一下, ah Black Friday I think is really ridiculous because the day before is thanksgiving, |
| Jenny: | 感恩节。 |
| Spencer: | Yes 感恩节, and that is the day where we sit around and we tell everyone what we’re thankful for “I’m thankful for this,” and “I’m thankful for that.” |
| Jenny: | 通常都是不是物质的东西。对吧thankful for my family… |
| Spencer: | And then, and then come four o’clock in the morning the day after people rush out to stores to buy what they can for to get those low low deals, it just doesn’t make any sense, |
| Jenny: | 对啊。 |
| Spencer: | It’s very hypocritical I must say. But, that’s my little spiel*1, ah we can move along here let’s talk about this 双十一 shall we Jenny? |
| Jenny: | 如我刚刚还想说就觉得我们Chinese consumers中国的消费者啊，自己一定要看好自己的荷包。因为我们拥有双十一，XX来黑五Black Friday国外的这些e-commerce sites各种各样的商店也在target我们，所以我们要被弄两次。xxx double whammy*2*3, |
| Spencer: | Got, got uh get that China money, says the Western companies. “There’s a lot of people in China, you know I’d like if I could just get a little business from there and make a lot of money.” |
| Jenny: | 哦我还忘了一个, I’m I’m forgetting it Cyber Monday. |
| Spencer: | Oh guy I forget about it. |
| Jenny: | 电商。 |
| Spencer: | I I don’t, I don’t, I said I don’t shop on any these days personally Jenny, but it’s me, so I had forgot about it as well. |
| Jenny: | 关于说的Cyber Monday是星期五之后的， |
| Spencer: | Is the date it’s, it’s after Black Friday? |
| Jenny: | 对对对，那个星期一就是电商e-commerce sites。好像“噢，这行的电商打折日…”就，anyway，就… |
| Spencer: | If you’re too tired from shopping all weekend, but you still want to buy things, get on your computer on Cyber Monday to get those deals. |
| Jenny: | Ah these shopping bonanzas*4*5 是吧. |
| Spencer: | XXX spend your money. You know another day that’s really big for shopping in Ch, ah in America Jenny? |
| Jenny: | Christmas? |
| Spencer: | The day after Christmas. |
| Jenny: | 哦对，Boxing Day. |
| Spencer: | Yeah well we don’t really have Boxing Day in America but the day after Christmas, everyone goes to the mall to return the gift. So it is like... |
| Jenny: | 噢，return是其退换。 |
| Spencer: | And then they end up buying things that are really cheap after Christmas, meh*6. |
| Jenny: | 嗯，是是是。诶，我们刚说那么多的shopping就真的是一个大的像嘉年华。嘉年华英语其实carnival。你们会用carnival会说一个shopping carnival？ |
| Spencer: | No, we would use the word “bonanza”. |
| Jenny: | Bonanza. |
| Jenny: | I like that word bonanza. |
| Jenny: | 我也很喜欢这词。因为一点就很疯狂。 |
| Spencer: | Yeah there’s actually old TV show about cowboys called Bonanza and had music like just… |
| Jenny: | 这是很wild很疯狂的是吧。 |
| Spencer: | Yeah. |
| Jenny: | 因为这个词英语不是疯狂还一个说法就是go bananas*7吗，香蕉。要就bonanza就让我想到go bananas. |
| Spencer: | Yeah, I don’t know you hear the word is like you this one and go crazy say “bonanza!” |
| Jenny: | Speaking of crazy疯狂的这个shopping啊。我们现在就来讲讲双十一这个疯狂的折扣。 |
| Spencer: | OK crazy deals. |
| Jenny: | Oh so you can actually use the word crazy to this time. |
| Spencer: | That you can crazy deals, crazy discounts, crazy sales, you know. |
| Jenny: | OK sales 对. |
| Spencer: | Crazy prices “you can’t beat these crazy prices.” |
| Jenny: | 哦这些词都是大家可以来形容疯狂打折的啊。诶你第一个说的那个crazy deals d-e-a-l-s。这个是美语里很喜欢用的。Right? “I got this crazy deal,” “I got a great deal” on something. |
| Spencer: | Yeah that’s right so deal is just like it’s it’s when you make a deal. |
| Jenny: | 但这里的deal是很划算的对不对。 |
| Spencer: | 啊对, if something is a deal, if you use it as a 形容词, something that deal just means yeah 划算 cheap and affordable. |
| Jenny: | 然后在美语里还有一个说法跟门有关叫doorbuster*8 deals是吧。 |
| Spencer: | Ah doorbuster deals. You could say that; it’s a doorbuster. |
| Jenny: | 因为就是大家会去商店然后把那商店门都挤破了to get those crazy deals。所以些有个说法叫to get those doorbuster deals. |
| Spencer: | Yeah that’s right. |
| Jenny: | 然后还有一些比如双十一Spencer刚问我说为什么大家说十一还那么兴奋啊？ 因为我说有一些deals it’s only available on Double Eleven. |
| Spencer: | That’s right so you got to you got to really like kind of take advantage of that time and get those exclusive deals. |
| Jenny: | Oh exclusive deals. Exclusive的意思就是只有这个时间采用的。 |
| Spencer: | Yeah exactly exclusive. |
| Jenny: | 好。那现在的双十一呢，在中国各大电视上网站的leading e-commerce sites, or I think any business is you know jumping on the bandwagon*9 their part of 双十一，而且现在很多海外的品牌对吧，在双十一也来卖东西给我们。 |
| Spencer: | Yeah that’s right because well the the Chinese consumer market is big, and so we now have tons of domestic and global brands. |
| Jenny: | 嗯，对domestic就是国内的品牌，然后global brands就是国际的品牌啊。 |
| Spencer: | That’s right 不错. |
| Jenny: | 好。那其实双十一呢基本上从十一月一号开始。就这个十天呢这个period。First of November leading up to双十一就开始你要做准备了。有一些pre-sale预售就开始，然现在也有一些商家其实十一月一号就开始打折。 |
| Spencer: | Yeah that’s right and then everything flies off the shelf*10. |
| Jenny: | Wow, flies off the shelf. 很形象地比喻就所有的货品都从货架上飞走了，飞chang光了啊。 |
| Spencer: | That’s right. |
| Jenny: | 嗯，然后呢我们的购物车，我们的淘宝啊、京东啊，这个shopping cart就而且会爆价。 |
| Spencer: | Yeah 会爆价吗 (boom). |
| Jenny: | 对，因为它有个limit吗。你只能收藏多少的… |
| Spencer: | Oh really, I didn’t I didn’t know that. I guess I’ve never bought that much one time. I’m I’m a I’m a less more simple guy, if I listen to xxx |
| Jenny: | So can you say your shopping cart is going to explode? |
| Spencer: | Umm, you could, you could, we usually to say shopping carts full, it’s crammed*11, you know because you’re putting stuff in to a shopping cart, but you could say explode. |

| Spencer: | Ah you may need to beat the clock*12. |
| Jenny: | Exactly beat the clock and beat the other consumers. |
| Spencer: | Um, that’s right. |
| Jenny: | Beat the clock就是要抢争分夺秒*13。 |
| Spencer: | So this is one example where in China 早睡早起 does not pay off. You got to stay up*14 late. |

| Spencer: | That’s right that’s the some buyer’s remorse. I, so I I you know if you guys about buy stuff go for it, I do think you should not do it on a credit card to make sure you’re spending your own money. |
| Jenny: | I agree. 纪念我也很同意，对。不要，挨近英文可以说put it on a credit card. |
