过完“黑色星期五”，又迎“恐慌星期六”！

Panic Saturday or Super Saturday is the last Saturday before Christmas, a major day of revenue for American retailers, marking the end of the shopping season they and many customers believe begins on Black Friday.

“恐慌星期六”或“超级星期六”是圣诞节前最后一个周六，也是美国零售商大笔捞金的日子。这一天标志着，零售商和许多消费者心目中始于黑色星期五的购物季接近尾声。

Panic Saturday targets last-minute shoppers. Typically the day is ridden with one-day sales in an effort to accrue more revenue than any other day in the Christmas and holiday season.

恐慌星期六瞄准的是那些熬到最后一刻才出手购物的顾客。为获得比圣诞节和假期里任何一天都多的利润，商家通常会在这一天提供单日折扣。

Shoppers across Britain went looking for late Christmas bargains on Dec 20 as high street spending was set to reach £1.2 billion on what was being branded "Panic Saturday". Some of the country's biggest high street names slashed prices for what was expected to be one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

本月20日就是被标榜为“恐慌星期六”的日子。当天，全英的消费者纷纷涌上街头，寻找圣诞节最后的折扣。人们在商业街的花销预计将达12亿英镑。在这全年最繁忙的购物日里，英国部分名头最响的商业街品牌都在这一天提供大减价。
