雙11你們都買(mǎi)啥了？你花了多少錢(qián)清空購(gòu)物車(chē)的？據(jù)說(shuō)，雙11剛開(kāi)始沒(méi)多久，很多人都表示不吃飯了，要吃土。這是怎么回事？

The Nov 11 online shopping extravaganza, started seven years ago by e-commerce giant Alibaba, has become Chinese consumers’ biggest annual shopping spree.
7年前由電商巨頭阿里巴巴發(fā)起的雙11網(wǎng)購(gòu)盛會(huì)如今已成為中國(guó)消費(fèi)者每年都會(huì)經(jīng)歷的最大型購(gòu)物狂潮。

Alibaba said more than $1bn was spent within the first eight minutes, and more than 27 million purchases came via mobile phone in the first hour. This is good news for sellers but not that good for shoppers. Soon after the shopping spree began, "eating dirt" became a buzzword on the Internet. The term means that consumers spend too much on Singles Day shopping to have any money left for food; as a result, they can only "eat dirt", which is free.
阿里巴巴表示，雙11零點(diǎn)后的前八分鐘，網(wǎng)購(gòu)消費(fèi)超過(guò)10億美元，而在第一個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)，移動(dòng)端的購(gòu)買(mǎi)訂單就超過(guò)2700萬(wàn)個(gè)。賣(mài)家生意火爆，買(mǎi)家們可就悲慘了。雙11搶購(gòu)開(kāi)始沒(méi)多久，“吃土”就成為網(wǎng)絡(luò)熱詞。這個(gè)新晉的網(wǎng)絡(luò)熱詞是指因消費(fèi)超出預(yù)算，而導(dǎo)致生活拮據(jù)，沒(méi)有剩余的財(cái)力購(gòu)買(mǎi)食物，只能吃免費(fèi)的“土壤”。

Weibo user @Yanjinggong said:"I was complaining that Double 11 was only a trap for consumers, but now I am a girl eating dirt."
網(wǎng)友@眼鏡宮在其微博表示，“前幾個(gè)小時(shí)還在吐槽雙十一是個(gè)消費(fèi)陷阱，然而現(xiàn)在已然成為吃土少女。”

Another user, @zzyyyyyyyyun, said:"It's only two hours since the Double 11 started, but I know that I will be eating dirt for the rest of the year."
網(wǎng)友@zzyyyyyyyyun表示，“雙十一剛開(kāi)始兩個(gè)小時(shí)，我已經(jīng)知道我今年都要吃土了。”

除了嚷嚷著吃土，還有網(wǎng)友在微博上對(duì)比“雙11前”和“雙11后”的狀態(tài)。

Users also show them impoverished or driven to madness by their buying sprees in "before and after Double 11" pictures.
網(wǎng)友們爭(zhēng)曬“雙11前”和“雙11后”的照片，展示他們瘋狂購(gòu)物后的“瘋相”。

比如這位：

當(dāng)然了，每年喊著要剁手的親們其實(shí)一刻都沒(méi)閑著，一邊喊著剁手（chopping hands），一邊下著訂單。

怎么樣？你已經(jīng)開(kāi)始吃土了嗎？

或者，是先剁手（chopping hands），后吃土（eating dirt）？
