在過去的外媒報道中，我們驚訝地發現，為了能更加形象、奪人眼球地描述中國特有的現象，外媒的記者們在報道中摻雜“中式英語”，甚至在報道一些中國新聞時，創造了中國專屬的英文詞彙。
比如，即將到來的單身狗節，外媒在報道這個中國人獨有的節日時，特意創造了個新的說法：Chinese singles day.
Singles Day in China is the celebration -- or mourning -- of being unattached. Started by students in Nanjing in the mid-1990s, the date was selected in observation of its four solitary digits: 11/11.
中國“光棍節”，一個慶祝(或哀嚎)沒人相伴的節日。光棍節起源於90年代中期，由南京的幾位大學生創立，節日定在每年的11月11日，因為這四個光禿禿的數字，看上去像極了“光棍”。
While relatively obscure in most other countries, Singles Day is likely to increase in prominence as more single men in China are unable to find female partners. According to a recent study by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, more than 24 million Chinese men could find themselves without spouses by 2020.
雖然光棍節在其他國家的文化中看來有些難以理解，但在中國，光棍節的影響力越來越大，在中國有越來越多的單身男性找不到女朋友。據中國社會科學院最近的一項調查顯示，到2020年全中國將有2400萬男性找不到配偶。
Celebrating Singles Day comes in many forms across the Asian nation, and like Christmas and Valentine's Day, it has become a multi-million dollar industry.
中國各地均有不同形式來慶祝光棍節的儀式。就和聖誕節、情人節一樣，光棍節已經成了一門能創造幾百萬收益的.產業。
