“光棍节”怎么说？
又到一年“光棍节”，你突然想起了谁？单身的你打算如何度过这一天？我们来看一段相关的英文报道
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.
For a lot of young men, they feel that what can make them more attractive to their potential dates is their good education, a good job and a lot of money, which lead to a lot of young men working 10-12 hours a day with no time to socialize.
Actually, many singles hope to look for love as soon as possible and don't want to celebrate next year's Singles Day.
虽然光棍节在其他国家的文化中看来有些难以理解，但在中国，光棍节的影响力越来越大——在中国，找不到女朋友的“光棍”越来越多了。
很多年轻男士认为，自己的教育背景、工作和钱财将决定约会时自己在异性面前的吸引力，而这种想法使得他们每天工作10-12小时，连社交的时间都没有。
实际上，许多单身人士都希望尽快找到真爱，明年可不想再过光棍节了。
【讲解】
文中的Singles Day就是“光棍节”的意思，“单身”也可以表达为bachelor，一般不用于女子，但在美式英语中，bachelor girl可指从未结过婚的年轻而自立的女子。
第一句中的prominence解释为“重要，引人注目的事物”，如：This young fashion designer is rising to prominence. （这位年轻的时装设计师的声望越来越高。）；它的形容词是prominent（显著的；杰出的），如：He is prominent in science.（他是科学界杰出的人物。）
