過完“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“超級星期六”是圣誕節前最后一個周六，也是美國零售商大筆撈金的日子。這一天標志著，零售商和許多消費者心目中始于黑色星期五的購物季接近尾聲。

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.

恐慌星期六瞄準的是那些熬到最后一刻才出手購物的顧客。為獲得比圣誕節和假期里任何一天都多的利潤，商家通常會在這一天提供單日折扣。

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日就是被標榜為“恐慌星期六”的日子。當天，全英的消費者紛紛涌上街頭，尋找圣誕節最后的折扣。人們在商業街的花銷預計將達12億英鎊。在這全年最繁忙的購物日里，英國部分名頭最響的商業街品牌都在這一天提供大減價。
