說到“黑色星期五”，想必大多數(shù)人首先想到的是美國(guó)那個(gè)著名的購(gòu)物狂歡節(jié)。其實(shí)，英國(guó)也有個(gè)“黑色星期五”，到底是怎樣的一天呢？讓我們一起來掃掃盲。
In the United Kingdom, Black Friday was a historic nickname within the emergency services for the last Friday before Christmas, as this is the most popular night for office Christmas parties, which consequently makes it one of the busiest nights in the year for ambulances and the police.
在英國(guó)，圣誕節(jié)前最后一個(gè)周五被急救服務(wù)業(yè)戲稱為“黑色星期五”。因?yàn)檗k公室圣誕派對(duì)大多在這一晚進(jìn)行，也使之成為了令救護(hù)車和警察最忙碌的夜晚。
In most of the United Kingdom, including Cumbria, Tyne and Wear, County Durham, North Yorkshire, Northumberland, East Anglia, Northern Ireland and Scotland, the Friday is referred to as Black Eye Friday, due to extremely high number of fights that break out in bars, pubs and clubs in the area.
在英國(guó)大部分地區(qū)，包括坎布里亞郡，泰恩-威爾郡，達(dá)勒姆郡，北約克郡，諾森伯蘭郡，東安格利亞，北愛爾蘭和蘇格蘭，這個(gè)星期五也被稱為“烏眼青星期五”，因?yàn)樵谶@一天里，上述地區(qū)的酒吧、酒館和俱樂部打架斗毆的事件極多。
In 2013, it started to be named Mad Friday, probably to avoid confusion with the American shopping phenomena at the end of November called Black Friday, as this began to be adopted by many UK retailers.
2013年，也許為了避免與美國(guó)11月底的“黑色星期五”購(gòu)物季混淆，也由于許多英國(guó)零售商開始接受這種購(gòu)物季的說法，人們開始將“黑色星期五”稱為“瘋狂星期五”。
Known as "Mad" or "Black Friday", it marks the start of the festive season for many who are finishing work.
對(duì)于許多已完成工作的人來說，“瘋狂”或“黑色星期五”標(biāo)志著假日的開始。
