末日抢购热

In Sichuan province, panic buying of candles has swept through two counties in the fear that an ancient Mayan prediction that the world will end on December 21 proves to be true.

由于害怕古老的玛雅预言所说的世界会在12月21日末日是真的，四川省两个县的人们纷纷抢购蜡烛。

“Candles are selling by the hundreds, with buyers constantly coming to the market. Many stores have run out,” the owner of grocery said, “At first, we had no idea why. But then we heard someone muttering about the continuous darkness”.

“蜡烛都是成百成百的卖的，购买者不断涌进市场，很多商店的蜡烛都卖光了，”店主说，“开始我们也不知道发生什么事。但是后来我们听说有人传言会有持续的黑暗。”

The source of the panic was traced to a post on Sina Weibo, predicting that there will be three days of darkness when the apocalypse arrives.

这个恐慌的来源来自新浪微博的一篇博文，说到在末日来临那天，地球将会有三天全黑暗时期。

Daydreaming About Last Day

末日白日梦

Since the beginning of December, the word “Mayans” has trended on Weibo as millions of normally phlegmatic Chinese speculate that the end is nigh. “If the Mayans are right, I won’t pay my credit card bill,” was one popular post.

自从12月开始，“玛雅”这个词在微博上成为热词，普通老百姓纷纷推测末日的到来。一条转发量大的微博说到，“如果世界末日是真的，我就不付信用卡卡债了。”
