Alibaba,
 which turned a day - also known as Double Eleven - for Chinese 
youngsters to celebrate singleness into an annual shopping extravaganza,
 raked in its first 10 billion yuan ($1.43 billion) in sales after 96 
seconds - faster than the 125 seconds last year - after discounts on 
everything from toilet paper to furniture to cosmetics took effect.
阿里巴巴把一年一度中国年轻人庆祝单身的节日变成了购物盛会，也被称为双11，销售额在前96秒就达到了第一个100亿元（14.3亿美元）——比去年的125秒还快。从卫生纸到家具再到化妆品给予消费者的折扣起了作用。

据彭博社报道，全球范围参与到这场线上购物节的人数预计在5亿。消费者不仅来自中国，还有来自俄罗斯和阿根廷的国外消费者。商品大到苹果手机和冰箱，小到腰果零食。（An
 estimated half-billion shoppers from China to Russia and Argentina are 
expected to swarm the e-commerce giant’s sites to scoop up everything 
from iPhones and refrigerators to cashew nuts. - Bloomberg）

除了内地买家，来自香港、美国、英国、澳大利亚和日本的海外买家最多。（Hong

buyers in early business. - South China Morning Post）

尽管双十一最终战果还未出炉，但近两年的数据显示，中国双十一的销售额都超过了美国的黑色星期五。注：双十一是仅仅一天，而黑色星期五前后延续有5天。 6park.com

因此，彭博社认为，尽管中美贸易战仍未结束，但阿里巴巴将能够更平稳地度过这场风波。

Among
 China’s largest corporations, Alibaba is expected to better ride out 
the storm, thanks to booming online consumption in the world’s No. 2 
economy.

作为中国最大的企业之一，阿里巴巴有望更好地度过这场风暴，这要归功于中国这个全球第二大经济体蓬勃发展的线上消费。

“Alibaba
 will probably be the one that will be able to circumvent and come out 
from the trade war in better shape” versus Baidu Inc. and Tencent 
Holdings Ltd., Richard Wong, head of ICT for the Asia Pacific at Frost 
& Sullivan, told Bloomberg Television. “The current sentiment and 
confidence in terms of spending is still relatively high.”

弗若斯特沙利文咨询公司亚太区信息通信技术主管Richard Wong对彭博电视台表示，相较于百度和腾讯，“阿里巴巴将可能绕过这场贸易战，并以更好的状态从贸易战脱身。目前消费者在支出方面的情绪和信心仍相对较高。”

而这中间还有美国公司出的一份力。据CBS报道，近四分之一的美国零售商计划在光棍节进行促销活动。

American
 companies are also getting in on the act. Nearly a quarter of U.S. 
retailers plan to run promotions for Singles Day, according to Adobe, 
which surveyed more than 400 U.S. retailers with annual sales in excess 
of $500,000.

美国公司也参与其中。据Adobe的数据显示，近四分之一的美国零售商计划在光棍节进行促销活动。该公司调查了400多家年销售额超过50万美元的美国零售商。 6park.com
