Struggling under the weight of packed bags from luxury stores including Prada and Louis Vuitton, Amy Jiang pauses for breath. Theglittering mall is doing a brisk trade, with queues thronging the popular shops and the most sought-after fashion items selling out fast. 在英国的Prada和LV店里疯狂扫货之后，中国女孩艾米决定停下来稍作休息。这些闪闪发光的奢侈品店生意相当好，店里购物的人群排长队，热销的单品顷刻就卖光了。 Giggling, Amy inspects her purchases, including a £1,010 bubblegum-pink Miu Miu cashmere sweater, a black Gucci cocktail purse costing £430, a £335 Vuitton shawl and a Prada robot key-chain costing a mere £115. 艾米满意地看着自己的“战利品”：粉红色的Miu Miu羊绒毛衫，价格1010英镑（约1万人民币）；黑色Gucci晚宴手拿包，价格430英镑（约4200元人民币）；LV的围巾，价格335英镑（约3300元人民币）；Prada机器人钥匙扣，价格115英镑（约1140元人民币）。 Like thousands of other Chinese nationals she is in the UK during Golden Week, China’s national anniversary holiday — and a full-on British shopping spree is how to celebrate. 和其他来英旅游的中国人一样，在这个中国国庆的黄金周里，艾米他们通过在英国疯狂购物来庆祝这一节日。 This year is London’s busiest Golden Week ever, with more than 200,000 Chinese estimated to visit, bringing a welcome boost of around half a billion pounds to our economy. |
