英语热词：双十一光棍节

在过去的外媒报道中，我们惊讶地发现，为了能更加形象、夺人眼球地描述中国特有的现象，外媒的记者们在报道中掺杂“中式英语”，甚至在报道一些中国新闻时，创造了中国专属的英文词汇。

比如，即将到来的单身狗节，外媒在报道这个中国人独有的节日时，特意创造了个新的说法：Chinese singles day.

Singles Day in China is the celebration -- or mourning -- of being unattached. Started by students in Nanjing in the mid-1990s, the date was selected in observation of its four solitary digits: 11/11.

中国“光棍节”，一个庆祝(或哀嚎)没人相伴的节日。光棍节起源于90年代中期，由南京的几位大学生创立，节日定在每年的11月11日，因为这四个光秃秃的数字，看上去像极了“光棍”。

While relatively obscure in most other countries, Singles Day is likely to increase in prominence as more single men in China are unable to find female partners. According to a recent study by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, more than 24 million Chinese men could find themselves without spouses by 2020.

虽然光棍节在其他国家的文化中看来有些难以理解，但在中国，光棍节的影响力越来越大，在中国有越来越多的单身男性找不到女朋友。据中国社会科学院最近的一项调查显示，到2020年全中国将有2400万男性找不到配偶。

Celebrating Singles Day comes in many forms across the Asian nation, and like Christmas and Valentine's Day, it has become a multi-million dollar industry.

中国各地均有不同形式来庆祝光棍节的仪式。就和圣诞节、情人节一样，光棍节已经成了一门能创造几百万收益的.产业。
