光棍節的那些事
Origin of Singles Day 節日起源
Singles Day was first celebrated at variousuniversities in Nanjing, capital city of JiangsuProvince during the 1990s. It got the name SinglesDay because the date is comprised of four "ones". These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for allfashionable youths.
光棍節最先在90年代的江蘇南京各大高校興起。之所以叫“光棍節”是因爲這一天的日子有四個光棍一樣的“1”。大學生們畢業了，把這個傳統帶到了社會上，光棍節就成了時尚青年們的一個特殊節日。
An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None ofthem were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day andplayed Mahjong.
故事從四個過着單調生活的單身舍友說起。他們沒有人結婚，連女朋友都沒有，日子過得無精打采，終日打麻將度過。
One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, nomatter who won, the winning card was always the ’four columns’ card (the card shows fourindependent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it Singles Day.
有一天他們打麻將從早上11點打到了晚上11點。奇妙的是，不管誰贏，都贏在了“四條”上。更加巧合的是，這一天正是11月11號。爲了紀念這一天，他們給它命名爲“光棍節”。
