英语热词:“圣诞冲动”了吗?Christmas buzz

更新时间:2018-01-29

12月是节日氛围最浓的一个月份,圣诞过后就是新年,大家都在忙着为朋友和家人准备礼物。这一准备不要紧,礼物越买越多,帐单越积越厚,到该还款的时候才意识到透支了不少。

Christmas buzz is a feeling common during the month of December. It is the need to buy many overpriced gifts for your family, normally on a credit card. The buyer feels no feelings of regret for the rest of the month, as he/she feels they are being a good person. The Christmas buzz is always followed by the New Year's hangover, when the credit card bill comes in and the buyer goes on a rant about how much money they have spent.

Christmas buzz(圣诞冲动)是12月份很常见的一种情绪。它会让你给家人买很多超贵的礼物,而且通常都是用信用卡结算的。买的时候一点也不会为这个月剩下的日子担心,因为你买这些礼物的时候觉得自己是个好人。紧跟着圣诞冲动而来的就是新年怨悔,那时候信用卡的帐单也该寄来了,你才会为之前花出去的钱自怨自艾。

For example:

You're buying a Nintendo Wii off eBay for 500 dollars for your kid? Must be the Christmas buzz.

你要在易趣网上花500美元给你孩子买个任天堂游戏机?一定是圣诞冲动了吧。
