双十一购物节
“双十一网购节”简称“双十一”，是指每年11月11日的网络促销日。在这一天，许多网络商家会进行大规模促销活动。它源于淘宝商城2009年11月11日举办的促销活动，当时营业额远超预想的效果，于是11月11日成为天猫举办大规模促销活动的固定日期。近年来双十一已成为中国电子商务行业的年度盛事，并且逐渐影响到国际电子商务行业。

The 11/11 Sale
On the 11th of November every year, a great number of online merchants in China have a large- scale sale on their merchandise. It is an online shopping extravaganza. The first 11/11 sale took place on November 11, 2009, when the then Taobao Mall launched a promotional event on single’s day and saw sales soar, far exceeding expectations. The date was thus fixed as the day when online merchants hold large-scale sales. In recent years, the 11/11 sale has become an annual event for the whole e-commerce industry in China. Its impact on the international e-commerce industry has also been felt.
