消费者群体中单身族的崛起并不是没有代价的。据《中国财经杂志》报道,在光棍节期间,为了处理3亿2300万份包裹,许多大型物流公司需要筹措超过100台货运飞机四处奔走。
The holiday strains the logistics system: Products frequently sell out or arrive late. Even when everything moves smoothly, consumers complain about commercial gimmicks. According to the Beijing Evening News, a popular local paper, some online retailers quietly raise prices before slashing them.
光棍节期间物流系统往往问题百出:商品常常已经断货或者送货延期。就算物流系统一切正常,网购公司的销售猫腻也常常引起消费者不满。根据北京一家知名报刊《北京晚报》报道,许多在线零售商都会先抬高商品价格,然后再鼓吹降价销售。
But Chinese have not forgotten about the true meaning of this holiday: hating singlehood. Singles' Day is an occasion on which Chinese confess their feelings and try to find significant others. On Nov. 7, with four days to go before the holiday, the top trending topic on Weibo, China's Twitter, was "Help Your Roommate Find Someone." Over 200,000 people participated in the discussion, posting pictures of their roommates (and sometimes themselves) in hopes of avoiding another lonely Singles' Day.
但是中国人也没有忘记这个节日的真正含义:厌倦单身。光棍节正是中国人承认自己对单身状态的厌倦,试着寻觅到另一半的日子。在11月7日光棍节前4天,微博(中国版的推特)上最热门的话题就是“为你的室友找到另一半”。超过20万人参与了讨论,上传自己室友的照片(有时就是自己的照片),希望能在光棍节前结束单身。
