▍原文 The world’s biggest shopping event happens in China each year - and is called Singles’ Day. Originally a holiday to celebrate being single, the event has grown into a weeks-long online shopping festival that this year began on October 9 and runs through November 11. Last year, the total value of goods sold during the shopping bonanza totaled 1.44 trillion yuan. The event has, in recent years, lost some of its novelty with the rise of other shopping festivals. ▍語言點 1. Singles' Day 雙十一；光棍節 2.
