受到疫情影响,国外很多超市的东西被抢购一空,尤其是各种生活用品很受欢迎。
接下来就让我们来看看,哪些物品是被抢购得最多的吧!
在过去的几天里,我们看到了疯狂的场景:出于对冠状病毒的恐惧,人们在超市里争先恐后地抢购基本的必需品。而且还发生了一件戏剧性的事件,据称一名56岁的男子几分钟前购买的卫生纸被洗劫一空。
Over the last few days, we have seen frenzied scenes of shoppers in supermarkets scrambling over each other to get their hands on basic essentials due to coronavirus fears. In one dramatic case a 56-year-old man was allegedly robbed for the toilet roll he bought moments earlier.
据MyLondon称,这是人们在超市手推车里装满的13种商品,这也导致了一些零售商,如Aldi等实行限购制。任何在Aldi购物的人每种商品只能购买四个,以确保一个公平购买环境。
According to MyLondon , these are the 13 items that people are filling their supermarket trolleys with which has caused some retailers, such as Aldi, to put restrictions in place. Anyone shopping in Aldi can only buy four of each product to ensure it's a level playing field.
意大利面
Pasta
意大利主食保质期长、健康、便宜,而且可以吃很久,因此意大利主食被恐慌的买家抢购一空也就不足为奇了。
With a long shelf life, healthy, cheap and a little goes a long way it's no surprise that the Italian staple is being snapped up by panic buyers.
罐头食品Tinned food在瘟疫,战争,核灾难的情况下,罐头是豆类、蔬菜、肉类的固体,事实上,一个罐头中的三到四种不同食物就可以组成的一顿饭。
In the event of pandemic, war, nuclear disaster, tins are a solid for pulses, veg, meat, in fact you can eat a meal comprising of three or four different food items out of just one tin.
卫生纸
Toilet roll
这是我们希望在英国能够拥有的一种奢侈品,用户可以从不同种类中进行选择,比如从绗缝床单到用牛油果油软化的床单。然而,许多喜欢坐浴盆的文化的人对这种恐慌感到困惑。
It's a luxury we like to have in the UK with users being able to choose from different variations such as quilted sheets to ones to ones softened with shea butter. However many bidet-loving cultures are baffled at the panic.
面包
Bread
这并不奇怪。三明治是英国人最喜欢的食物,因为没有其他食物能满足他们的需求。
This is no surprise. Sandwiches are the British stalwart for when nothing else will suffice.
纸巾
Tissues
如果你不够幸运没买到卫生纸时,当你流鼻涕的时候,他们可以让你付双倍的钱来买。
They can double up for when you have the sniffles and if you weren't one of the 'lucky ones' who managed to buy any toilet rolls.
洗手液
Hand sanitiser
如果你不能按照建议的洗手20秒以消灭致命细菌时,那么你就需要另谋出路了。
When you can't wash your hands for 20 seconds as advised to help tackle the killer bug then you need an alternative.
冷冻食品
Frozen food
就像食品柜里的罐头食品一样,如果没有电,我们就会陷下去。
Like tinned food for the larder - although if we lose power we're sunk.
面粉
Flour
如果买不到面包,至少你可以自己烘焙。
If you can't buy any bread then at least you can bake your own.
饼干
Biscuits
如果有茶包,配上饼干就万事大吉了。
Fingers crossed you have teabags too.
抗菌湿巾
Antibacterial wipes
参阅洗手液,这些可以用于表面,车辆,家具,儿童……
See hand sanitiser, but for surfaces, vehicles, furniture, children...
多知道一点
Aldi
奥乐齐(Aldi)是德国的一家廉价连锁超市品牌。总部位于德国,由Karl和Theo Albrecht兄弟在1946年接管其母亲在埃森的商店时创立。2017年之前,华人圈更多地音译为“阿尔迪”。2017年3月,进入中国市场后,“奥乐齐”被确定为“Aldi”的正式中文名称。
