The same color may embrace different indications. The same gesture may suggest different meanings. The same kind of cases recur as much often as possible. However， there’s an exception when people of different countries respond consistently.People invariably swarm into shopping malls where goods are at an incredible price reduction. This is out of human nature. Now， let’s have a look at day for shopping spree in China， America and Britain. 不同国家在许多方面表现也不同。在同样的场合，人们表达礼貌的方式会不同。同样的颜色可能包含不同的内涵。一样的姿势可能暗含不同的意思。这样的例子层出不穷。然而，有个例外，那时候人们的反应千篇一律。那就是当物品打折打得难以想象的低的时候，人们都会涌到商店里面购买商品。这就是人性。现在就让我们看一看中国、美国、英国的购物狂欢日。 China：singles’Day Singles’ Day is a festival popular among young people to celebrate the fact that they are single. The day falls on November 11th because the number “1” looks like an individual that is alone. Later on， the day becomes one of the largest online shopping day in China and even in the world， with the price of goods at a sharp and appealing discount. Therefore， the day before Singles’ Day， a large number of people stay up till 00：00 for fear that their target goods would be snapped up. This year sales in Alibaba’s sites Tmall and Taobao reached a new record high of more than $15billion. 中国：光棍节 光棍节非常受年轻人欢迎，这是为了庆祝自己作为单身贵族这一事实。因为“1”看起来像一个孤独的人，所以光棍节在11月11日。之后，这天变成了中国甚至是世界上最大的网络购物节，物品的折扣相当大，极具吸引力。因此，在光棍节前一天很多人一直熬到第二天凌晨零点，以防止要买的物品被一抢而光。今年，阿里巴巴网站旗下的天猫、淘宝销售额达到150多亿美元，创史上新高。 America：Black Friday Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving Day in the United States. The day marks the beginning of Christmas Shopping Season when most major retailers will open very early， recently even during overnight hours. Most non-retailer employers and schools will have both Thanksgiving Day and the Friday off， which， along with the regular weekend， makes a four-day weekend. Black Friday is always described as the busiest shopping day and many shops are on the shortage of stocks. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/e41f2e2ce43a580216fc700abb68a98271feace1.html
