What is Singles' Day?
Ostensibly, November 11 is Singles' Day in China, an offbeat, casually-observed holiday said to have started in the early-1990s by university students thumbing their noses at Valentine's Day by buying each other presents anyway to celebrate—or commiserate—being single. The day was picked because the way the date is written numerically (11.11) is reminiscent of "bare branches", a Chinese expression for bachelors.
adj.不平常的，离奇的
- She adores old,offbeat antiques.她非常喜欢那些稀奇古怪的老古董。
- His style is offbeat but highly creative.他的风格很不寻常但非常有创造力。
v.怜悯，同情
- When I lost,he commiserated with me.我落败的时候，他向我表示同情。
