一年一度的Black Friday '黑色星期五'，购物大血拼又到啦！预测称今年美国近1.36亿人将血拼“黑五”！
虽然万里相隔，国人的黑五热情也被点燃，双语君身边不少朋友的海淘购物车早已满载，就等时间一到最后一搏啦！ 
'Black Friday'
Black Friday是Thanksgiving Day（感恩节）过后的星期五，每年11月的最后一个星期五。这一天，不仅是感恩节后的血拼日，也是圣诞购物季的开始。
美国人纷纷上街抢购圣诞礼物，即使平时赔钱的商家在这一天也会转亏为盈（their business moves into the black, or turns a profit）。
Black指的是财务状况进入佳境，因为记在帐本上的数字用黑色表示盈利，红色则表示亏损，也就是我们常用的“赤字”。所以，business moves into the black就表示“生意好，有盈利”的意思。
但，在歪果仁心目中，黑五已经不光代表血拼了…… 它其实是一个 全民健身日
因为人们一整天都在做健！身！操！ ↓↓这套运动操总共分11节↓↓ Wake Up at 3 A.M. and 'Get out of Bed' Sit-ups 
 Rise ‘n’ shine! Work those abs to get out of bed quickly. Every second saved gets you closer to the front of that Black Friday line.
快起床！腹肌用力更让你更快地起床，当然也会让你排在抢购队伍的更前方！ “Waiting in Line” Crouching Squats 
 Waiting in lines is inevitable. Take a load off and crouch down into your squatting position. You may be here for a little while. 看来排队等候是不可避免的啦，那就干脆休息一下，蹲下来好了！ 因为真的，你还真得等上一阵子。
第三节 “Are They Open Yet?” Neck Stretches
 
Patience is a virtue, but doesn’t mean you’re not curious. Stretch out those neck muscles and look to see if the doors are open. 耐心是一种美德，但这并不代表你没有好奇心！你可以从队里伸长脖子探出头来看看商店开门了没有。
And they’re off! Break a sweat and harness all the muscles in your body to sprint to all the Black Friday deals and savings. 他们已经开跑啦！请把全身的肌肉都调整到最佳状态，大汗淋漓地去冲刺，去争夺黑五的各种打折和特价！
第五节 “Limited Quantity” Arm Extensions 
A limited supply of advertised discounts. Hundreds of people. Do the math. Use that upper body to reach for that must-have item everyone else is vying to get.打折商品限量出售，数不清的人在疯抢。你不算算看，充分活动身体上半部抢到一件就能让其他人羡慕嫉妒死啦！
第六节 “Top Shelf” Calf Raises
Don’t these store designers know the height of an average human being is well under seven feet tall? You’ll be sure to be on your tiptoes working those calves as you look at the top shelves or examine those clothes that require assistance to get down. 真怀疑货架的设计者知不知道人的平均身高也就不到7英寸？这个黑五你注定要一直踮起脚尖去看那些高架子上的宝贝。如果想要好好挑选还真需要找人来帮忙，比如更高个子的人或借个梯子。
第七节 Multi-floor Stair Climbs
The savings aren’t just on one floor. No need to wait for the elevator or escalator — challenge your legs and climb the stairs from floor to floor.超值的好东东可不都是在一层呀，省时间就是省钱！等什么电梯，还是去挑战一下你的腿，一层一层爬起来！
第八节 “Messy Aisle” Step-overs
Bring those knees up! Navigate through the aisle aftermath. There’s more savings on the other side!姿势要正确，膝盖弯曲上提！快速通过不要停留，看更多超值宝贝在另一侧！
第九节 Shopping Bag Shoulder Shrugs
As you move from store to store, your shopping bags will certainly grow in number. Be sure to stretch those arms and shoulders to avoid cramping while you’re shrugging toward shopping bliss.当你在商店间进进出出，你的购物袋毫无疑问数量也越来越多。 这可是上肢运动的大好时机。不时地伸伸胳膊抖抖肩膀，你会有更多的精力缴获更多宝贝！
第十节 “Post-purchase” Box Lifts
Carts? Where we’re going, we don’t need carts. Use that upper body to grab hold of those marked-down boxes. Show off your strength and your purchase as you bring it back to your car.购物车？根本不需要。你尽可以伸展胳膊给宝贝来个熊抱然后搞定到自己停车的地方，这可是展示你力量的大好时机。
第十一节 “Where Do I Put This?” Full-body Workout
Finish out your Black Friday workout with a complete body session when you unload your vehicle of all your discounted purchases.*Remember to lift with the knees. Not just the back!用这个全身运动来结束你的黑五大作战吧，把你全部打折的宝贝都从车上拿下来放到屋子里。记住搬的时候膝盖也要用力，可不是光活动背部呀。
还有拳击和群殴运动，啊...这...这...这就不推荐啦
Whether you had a couple of drinks to celebrate Thanksgiving or your Black Friday workout left you feeling a little dehydrated, be sure to rehydrate with Pedialyte.
你的感恩节黑五疯狂购之后有没有喝点饮料？运动过量容易脱水还是快去不补充点水份吧！
