双11你们都买啥了？你花了多少钱清空购物车的？据说，双11刚开始没多久，很多人都表示不吃饭了，要吃土。这是怎么回事？
The Nov 11 online shopping extravaganza, started seven years ago by e-commerce giant Alibaba, has become Chinese consumers’ biggest annual shopping spree.
7年前由电商巨头阿里巴巴发起的双11网购盛会如今已成为中国消费者每年都会经历的最大型购物狂潮。
Alibaba said more than $1bn was spent within the first eight minutes, and more than 27 million purchases came via mobile phone in the first hour.
阿里巴巴表示，双11零点后的前八分钟，网购消费超过10亿美元，而在第一个小时内，移动端的购买订单就超过2700万个。
This is good news for sellers but not that good for shoppers. Soon after the shopping spree began, "eating dirt" became a buzzword on the Internet. The term means that consumers spend too much on Singles Day shopping to have any money left for food; as a result, they can only "eat dirt", which is free.
卖家生意火爆，买家们可就悲惨了。双11抢购开始没多久，“吃土”就成为网络热词。这个新晋的网络热词是指因消费超出预算，而导致生活拮据，没有剩余的财力购买食物，只能吃免费的“土壤”。
Weibo user @Yanjinggong said:"I was complaining that Double 11 was only a trap for consumers, but now I am a girl eating dirt."
网友@眼镜宫在其微博表示，“前几个小时还在吐槽双十一是个消费陷阱，然而现在已然成为吃土少女。”
Another user, @zzyyyyyyyyun, said:"It's only two hours since the Double 11 started, but I know that I will be eating dirt for the rest of the year."
网友@zzyyyyyyyyun表示，“双十一刚开始两个小时，我已经知道我今年都要吃土了。”
除了嚷嚷着吃土，还有网友在微博上对比“双11前”和“双11后”的状态。
Users also show them impoverished or driven to madness by their buying sprees in "before and after Double 11" pictures.
网友们争晒“双11前”和“双11后”的照片，展示他们疯狂购物后的“疯相”。
比如这位：
当然了，每年喊着要剁手的亲们其实一刻都没闲着，一边喊着剁手（chopping hands），一边下着订单。
怎么样？你已经开始吃土了吗？
或者，是先剁手（chopping hands），后吃土（eating dirt）？
