关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人,因为他对钱特别吝啬,就不允许他进入天堂,而被打入地狱。但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦,所以被踢出地狱,罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。
在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和罗卜制作“杰克的灯笼”,他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节,孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物。这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”,缩写为Jack-o'-lantern 现在拼写为jack-o-lantern。
现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚。在小学校里,万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。
孩子们会制作万圣节的装饰品:各种各样桔黄色的南瓜灯。你可以用黑色的纸做一个可怕的造形——一个骑在扫帚把上戴着尖尖帽子的女巫飞过天空,或者是黑蝙蝠飞过月亮。这些都代表恶运。当然黑猫代表运气更差。有时候会出现黑猫骑在女巫扫帚后面飞向天空的造形。
在万圣节的晚上,我们都穿着爸爸妈妈的旧衣服和旧鞋子,戴上面具,打算外出。比我们小的孩子必须和他们的母亲一块出去,我们大一点的就一起哄到邻居家,按他们的门铃并大声喊道:“恶作剧还是招待!”意思是给我们吃的,要不我们就捉弄你。里边的人们应该出来评价我们的化装。
“噢!这是鬼,那是女巫,这是个老太婆。”
有时候他们会跟我们一起玩,假装被鬼或者女巫吓着了。但是他们通常会带一些糖果或者苹果放进我们的“恶作剧还是招待”的口袋里。可是要是没人回答门铃或者是有人把我们赶开该怎么办呢?我们就捉弄他们,通常是拿一块肥皂把他们的玻璃涂得乱七八糟。然后我们回家,数数谁的糖果最多。
还有一个典型的万圣节花招是把一卷手纸拉开,不停地往树上扔,直到树全被白纸裹起来。除非下大雪或大雨把纸冲掉,纸会一直呆在树上。这并不造成真正的伤害,只是把树和院子搞乱,一种万圣节的恶作剧。
One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.
Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st fro m a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went fro m house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."
The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.
Children would make Halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns. And fro m black paper you'd cut "scary" designs ---an evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick, maybe with black bats flying across the moon, and that meant bad luck. And of course black cats for more bad luck. Sometimes a black cat would ride away into the sky on the back of the witch's broom.
And on Halloween night we'd dress up in Mom or Dad's old shoes and clothes, put on a mask, and be ready to go outside. The little kids (children younger than we were) had to go with their mothers, but we older ones went together to neighbors' houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, "Trick or treat!" meaning, "Give us a treat (something to eat) or we'll play a trick on you!" The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment on our costumes.

万圣节的传统有哪些?吃南瓜派?trick or treat?化装舞会?这些传统都是怎么来的呢?
Why We Eat Candy...and Other Awesome Halloween Origin Stories You Should Know.
If we didn't know about Halloween while growing up, as adults we'd find it pretty weird. ...that's because it is.
Trying to explain Halloween to someone from a different culture is hard. Why do we dress up like dead people...but also prostitutes? Why do we knock on strangers doors...and beg for candy? What is the correlation between tricks and treats?
According to our research? Halloween is cool, but it's even cooler once you know its spooky origins.
The reason Halloween features candy, apples, small cakes is because Christian tradition holds that this day is supposed to be vegetarian. If any house on my neighborhood wants to pass out burgers, that's totally cool with me though.

Chorus:
All I wanna do is have some fun
(Mr. WorldWide)
I got a feeling, that I’m not the only one
(I want it)
All I wanna do is take you ho-o-o-me
I got a feeling, this party has just begun
(Afro’s back)
It’s all I want
(reporting live from the UK)
I got a feeling, that I’m not the only one
It’s all I want
And I got a feeling, that you’re gonna give me some
It’s all I want
Baby, it’s all I want
You know the type of women that I like
The ones that understand my life
The ones that understand wrong is right
Let’s do some wrong tonight
You name it I’ll do it, all is the fluid,
I’m Spanish influent, that means my tongue is bilingual
Ready to play with that spot that you tingle
Uh got a dingo, she’s a star, Ringo
Her and 2 friends? Mmm, I like that lingo
She asked if I’m single,
I said of course not, and she loved it
Next thing you know, we were both having fun in public
Hahaha
Chorus:
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling, that I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is take you ho-o-o-me
I got a feeling, this party has just begun
It’s all I want
I got a feeling, that I’m not the only one
It’s all I want
And I got a feeling, that you’re gonna give me some
It’s all I want
Baby
It’s all I want
You know I love an open mind
(mind)
So I can see what you thinking
(thinking)
That way I could give you exactly what you want
Matter of fact what you drinking
Some call it pimping, I call it leverage
I call it slipṗing, they call it marriage
She got me up like the Eiffel tower
No Paris, momma you can f*ck like the rabbits
But no diamonds, no karates
She asked if I was single, I said of course not
And she loved it
Next thing you know, we were both having fun in public
Chorus:
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling, that I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is take you ho-o-o-me
I got a feeling, this party has just begun
It’s all I want
I got a feeling, that I’m not the only one
It’s all I want
And I got a feeling, that you’re gonna give me some
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling, that I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is take you ho-o-o-me
I got a feeling, this party has just begun
It’s all I want
I got a feeling, that I’m not the only one
It’s all I want
And I got a feeling, that you’re gonna give me some

Baby it’s all I want
Baby It’s all I want
It’s all I want
Baby it’s all I want

[Verse 1: 2 Chainz]
Money’s the motivation – money’s the conversation
You on vacation, we gettin’ paid, so…
We don’t placate ‘em, I did it for the fam’
It’s whatever we had to do, it’s just who I am
Yeah – it’s the life I chose
Gunshots in the dark, one eye closed
And we got it cookin’ like a one-eyed stove
You can catch me kissin’ my girl with both eyes closed
Perfectin’ my passion, thanks for askin’
Couldn’t slow down so we had to crash it
You use plastic, we ’bout cash
I see some people ahead that we gon’ pass, yeah!
I never fear death or dying
I only fear never trying
I am whatever I am
Only God can judge me now
One shot, everything rides on
Tonight, even if I’ve got
Three strikes, I’mma go for it
This moment, we own it
And I’m not to be played with
Because it could get dangerous
See these people I ride with
This moment, we own it
[Verse 2: Wiz]
And the same ones I ride with be the same ones that I die with
Put it all out on the line with
If you lookin’ for me you can find Wiz
In the new car or the Crown with my new broad
That’s a fine chick, and the Weather Squad, I’m down with
Ain’t no way around it
What you say? Tell me what you say?
Workin’ hard, reppin’ for my dawgs, so this every day
Takin’ off, lookin’ out for all, makin’ sure we ball like the mob
All you do is call, catch you if you fall, Young Khalifa
[Hook]
[Verse 3: 2 Chainz]
This the biggest day of my life
We got big guns, been graduated from knives
Day in the life, and I’m ready to ride
Got the spirit, I’m feelin’ like a killer inside
Or – financial outbreak, I’m free but I ain’t out yet
Ridin’ with the plug so I’m close to the outlet
At the red light, rims, sittin’ on the set
I look better on your girl than her outfit
[Verse 4: Wiz]
Stuck to the plan, always said that we would stand up
Never ran, we the fam, and loyalty never change up
Been down since day one, look at where we came from
Jumpin’ out on anybody who try to say somethin’
One thing about it, got a problem? I’ve got the same one
Money rolls we fold, plenty clubs we close, follow the same code
Never turn our backs, our cars don’t even lose control
[Outro]www.ryedu.net
One shot, everything rides on
Tonight, even if I’ve got
Three strikes, I’mma go for it
This moment, we own it
And I’m not to be played with
Because it could get dangerous
See these people I ride with
This moment, we own it

Bob Dylan the night we called it a day lyrics/歌词
There was a moon out in space
But a cloud drifted over it's face
You kissed me and went on your way
The night we called it a day
I heard the song of the spheres
Like a minor lament in my ears
I hadn't the heart left to pray
The night we called it a day
Soft through the dark
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Sad though his song
No bluer was he than I
The moon went down stars were gone
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day

Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition
Lyrics:
Sweet disposition
Never too soon
Oh reckless abandon,
Like no one's watching you
A moment, a love
A dream, a laugh
A kiss, a cry
Our rights, our wrongs
A moment, a love
A dream, a laugh
A moment, a love
A dream, a laugh
Just stay there
Cause I'll be comin' over
While our bloods still young
It's so young, it runs
Won't stop til it's over
Won't stop to surrender
Songs of desperation
I played them for you
A moment, a love
A dream, a laugh
A kiss, a cry
our rights, our wrongs
A moment, a love
A dream, a laugh
A moment, a love
A dream, a laugh
Just stay there
Cause I'll be comin' over
While our bloods still young
It's so young, it runs
Won't stop til it's over
Won't stop to surrender
A moment, a love
A dream, a laugh
A kiss, a cry
Our rights, our wrongs (won't stop til it's over)
A moment, a love
A dream, a laugh
A kiss, a cry
Our rights, our wrongs (won't stop til it's over)
A moment, a love
A dream, a laugh
A kiss, a cry
Our rights, our wrongs (won't stop til it's over)

Professor Green - Read All About It (feat. Emeli Sandé)
Lyrics:
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it
Oh
Nothing to hide
Stifle and smother
Strife made me tougher
Never mumbled or shy to trouble
I rise above all
Expectations to get rep
Ain't never begged yet
When I wanted to get pence, hustle,
To be, I'm exactly what my neck says
Saying I tried to cash in on my Dad's death,
I wanted to vent 'stead I said nothing at all
After all you were never kin to me,
Family is something that you never been to me,
In fact making it harder for me to see my father was the only thing that
You ever did for me
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
As a kid I looked up to you,
Only thing was I never saw enough of you
Last thing I said to you was I hated you,
I loved you but now it's too late to say to you
Just didn't know what to do and how to deal with it,
Even now deep down I still live it
To think, I used to blame me,
I wonder what I did to you to make you hate me
I wasn't even 5, life's a journey and mine wasn't an easy ride
You never even got to see me rap,
I just wish you woulda reached out,
I wish you woulda been round when I been down
I wish that you could see me now,
Wherever you are I really hope you find peace
But know that if I ever have kids,
Unlike you I'll never let them be without me
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
Everything I have, I give to you
In every one of these lines I sing to you
My job's more like public service
My life just became yours to read and interpret
If you heard it it'd come across a lot different at times
I throw fits when I read how they word things
You see me smile
Now you're gonna have to see me hurtin'
Coz pretending everything is alright when it ain't, really isn't working
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
I ain't censoring myself for nobody
I'm the only thing I can be,
All that is good, all that is bad, all that is, me
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid

Lyrics:
(ha-ha, ha-a-a-a - ha-ha, ha-a-a-a - ha-ha, ha-a-a-a - ha-ha, ha-a-a-a)
I’ll never be the bravest of us
Crossing my fingers whenever I cross
I wish I could love without having to fear
Baby’s fingers gotta burn, baby came to near
You’ll never know all the trouble I’ve got
Still haven’t slept and it's seven o’clock
Everything I have I could lose within this fight
Somebody gotta tell me that I’m gonna be alright
Oh it's crazy
It's crazy up in here
I'm inside my head
How do I get out of it
Oh it's cra-a-azy
It's crazy up in here
I'm inside my head
How do I get out of it
And then he said: Honey
And then she said: Hone-ey
And then he said: Honey,
You’re on your own, you’re on your own, own, own, own
(ha-ha, ha-a-a-a - ha-ha, ha-a-a-a - ha-ha, ha-a-a-a - ha-ha, ha-a-a-a)
Searchin’ for sunlight or winter inside
Thinking of circles I cannot abide
Baby, make me want for the snow inside of me
All will flow in, in my eyes, turn into a sea
I’ll never know what I’m capable of
If I don’t go where I’m scared to be lost
Hope will find my way when I’m going through the night
Somebody gotta tell me that I’m gonna be alright
Oh it's crazy
It's crazy up in here
I'm inside my head
How do I get out of it
Oh it's cra-a-zy
It's crazy up in here

How do I get out of it

以下是小编整理的情感类英语美文欣赏:Falling in love with occupier, 希望使你的心灵有所触动。
IN Brokeback Mountain, love is a distant ideal brieflygained but forever out of reach. Ang Lee's newmovie, Lust, Caution (Se Jie), which has its openingat the Venice International Film Festival this week, isalso a tragic tale.
The lovers are also up against forces beyondtheir control, but this time it's a harsher view ofromance: Love is a performance, a trap or, cruelestof all, an illusion.
"Brokeback is about a lost paradise," Lee told the New York Times this month. "But this one– it's down in the cave, a scary place. It's more like hell."
Based on a short story by the popular Chinese writer Eileen Chang (Zhang Ailing), Lust,Caution is set in the early 1940s during World War II, mostly in Japanese-occupied Shanghai.Chia Chi (Tang Wei) belongs to a university drama group planning to kill Mr Yee (Tony Leung),who's cooperating with the enemy. Chia is assigned to seduce the target, but she falls into adesperate affair, driven by both passion and suspicion.
The cast includes Joan Chen (Chen Chong) as the gossipy Mrs Yee, and Wang Lee-hom asa student leader.
Lee is a careful observer of the power of sexual desire and repression to change people.The attraction of Lust, Caution lies in the mystery of its love story, which ends in a seeminglyrash act. "It's complex and hard to pin down," Lee commented in the New York Timesinterview. "Maybe it can't be pinned down."
Lust, Caution openly reveals the first part of the title, which Chang only hinted at in herbook. "It was very brave of her to fit this story of a woman's sexual pleasure into a story ofwar, which is so manly," Lee said.
He said he felt no need to be as conservative as the novel: "In Chinese literature the art isthe hiding. But movies are another animal. It's a picture tool."
His film features a few notably open sex scenes. A less open cut is being prepared for apossible Chinese release on October 26.
After life
Lee was drawn to the idea that the story, which was inspired by real events andincorporated elements of Chang's life: an education in Hong Kong interrupted by war, and aromance with an older man publicly known as a traitor. Chang's first husband, the writer HuLancheng, briefly served in the puppet government and was a playboy.
"It was hard for me to live in Chang's world," Lee said. "There are days I hated her for it.It's so sad. But you realize there's a shortage of love in her life: romantic love, family love."
He concluded, "This is the story of what killed love for her."

“A year's plan starts with spring. A day's plan starts with morning.” People often would like to make some plans and preparations, even make an accurate calculation of each stage so as to make study and work systematic and orderly.
“一年之计在于春,一日之计在于晨”,人们往往会为新的开始做些规划,把想做的事情安排好,甚至将时间段都精确计算,目的就是为了使工作学习生活有条理,不忙乱。
On the contrary, “Plan varies faster than change.” Even the most accurate plan may have accidents and maybe disturbed. It then became the excuse for those who are unwilling to make plans.
“计划不如变化快”是与计划相反的意思,即使计划得再准确也很难保证不出现意外,到时计划就会被打乱,这也成为某些不愿意做计划的人的借口。
Are you good at making plans? Will you make a schedule for a week, a month, a quarter or even a year? If your plan is disturbed, what will you do? Will you follow suit or be pushed by time?
你是一个善于计划的人吗?你会规划自己一周、一个月、一季度甚至一年的工作学习生活吗?如果计划被打乱,你会怎么做呢?或者你是一个随大流的人,被时间推着走呢?

下面是读文网小编为大家带来金融英语阅读:China’s wealthy no longer putting on Ritz,欢迎大家阅读!
On a quiet afternoon this week, one female shopper was browsing through pricey handbags in Beijing’s largely empty Shin Kong luxury mall. 最近一个静静的午后,一位女顾客在空荡荡的北京新光天地豪华购物中心浏览高价手袋。
“I buy all sorts of brands — Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, Gucci,” said the financial consultant. “Now the price of luxury products in China is much better than before but mostly, I buy them when I go abroad every year.” “我买各种品牌,路易威登(LV)、香奈儿(Chanel)、Prada、Gucci,”这位财务顾问说道,“现在国内奢侈品的价格比过去便宜多了,但我大多是在每年去国外时购买。”
She may be willing to splash out on big brand names at home and abroad, but Chinese shoppers like her are becoming scarcer. The effects of a government crackdown on expensive gift-giving and the deceleration in the economy are being compounded by changing consumer tastes. 她可能愿意拿出大笔钱在国内外购买大牌奢侈品,但像她这样的中国消费者正变得更加难找。政府对赠送昂贵礼品的打击以及经济增速放缓的影响,正与消费者品味改变交织在一起。
Luxury companies are also suffering from heady expansion based on what a report this week, from US think-tank the Demand Institute and its parent institution, the Conference Board, described as “overly optimistic growth and consumption projections” that have “misled foreign investors”. 奢侈品公司还尝到迅猛扩张的苦果,美国智库"需求研究所"(Demand Institute)及其上级机构“世界大型企业联合会”(Conference Board)最近的一份报告称,这种扩张基于“误导外国投资者”的“过于乐观的增长和消费预测”。
Luxury spending in mainland China fell last year for the first time, according to Bain & Co, to roughly ¢15bn. The consultancy expects it to contract a further 2 per cent at constant currency rates, steeper than last year’s 1 per cent decline. 根据贝恩(Bain & Co)的数据,去年,中国内地奢侈品支出首次下滑,为150亿欧元左右。该咨询公司预测,按不变汇率计算,今年将进一步下滑2%,降幅大于去年的1%。
That is a sharp reversal of a decade of remarkable growth, when Chinese luxury spending, at home and abroad, leapt tenfold — from 3 per cent of global luxury spending in 2004 to 30 per cent last year, according to Exane BNP Paribas.
Without its main motor for growth, it is no longer a life of luxury for the world’s ¢250bn industry, which is having to work harder to adjust to the complexities of a more mature and fragmenting market. 那是对10年大幅增长的急剧逆转。根据法国巴黎银行证券部(Exane BNP Paribas)的数据,过去10年中国人在国内外的奢侈品支出跃增10倍,从2004年占全球奢侈品支出3%,升至去年的30%。
Luca Solca, analyst at Exane BNP Paribas, says the Chinese market “hasn’t been great for anyone recently, but Prada and Burberry seem to be under greater pressure from China than their peers”. 没有了主要增长推动力,2500亿欧元的全球奢侈品行业日子不再好过,该行业不得不加倍努力,以适应一个更成熟更分化的市场的复杂性。
Burberry warned in October that sales had been dented by an “increasingly challenging environment for luxury, particularly Chinese customers”. 巴黎银行证券部分析师卢卡?索尔卡(Luca Solca)表示,中国市场“近期的表现对任何品牌而言都不怎么好,但Prada和博柏利(Burberry)在中国面临的压力似乎超过业内同行。”
Many of China’s wealthiest spenders have had their fill of the big names and are looking for something different, say analysts. Other, more price-conscious consumers, are buying online. Meanwhile, more Chinese citizens are travelling abroad, where they can see that prices are often 30 per cent cheaper abroad than at home. 今年10月,博柏利警告称,“越来越具挑战性的奢侈品环境,尤其是中国顾客”影响了该公司销量。
The devaluation of the renminbi in August reduced the price gap with Europe, though some luxury brands — notably Chanel — had already tried to address the problem by standardising prices on some of its bags worldwide. 分析师们表示,对很多中国富豪来说,该买的大品牌都买了,他们正在寻找不同的东西。对价格更敏感的其他消费者正在网上购物。与此同时,更多的中国公民到海外旅游,他们发现国外的价格往往比国内低出30%。
As Angelica Cheung, editor-in-chief of Vogue China, says: “The market has changed so much in the past 12 months, not only because of the economy but also because of technology and travel. The companies haven’t moved as quickly.” 8月的人民币贬值缩窄了与欧洲的价格差距,尽管一些奢侈品牌(特别是香奈儿)此前已试图通过对部分手袋实行全球统一价来解决这个问题。
But luxury companies will have to move fast because their expectations of cohorts of new spenders from an emerging middle class are too bullish, as highlighted by the Demand Institute. “Most Chinese citizens have a long way to go before entering the middle class,” it said. 正如《Vogue》中国版总编张宇(Angelica Cheung)所言:“过去12个月里,市场改变了很多,其原因不仅仅在于经济,还在于科技和旅游。相关企业未能跟上。”
Louise Keely, a co-author of its report, described as a “myth” the expectation of reaping benefits by opening luxury emporia in a host of smaller cities. 但奢侈品公司将必须快速拿出对策,因为他们对于不断壮大的中产阶层带来大批新顾客的预期过于乐观。正如“需求研究所”所指出的:“多数中国公民在跻身于中产阶层之前还有很长一段路要走。”
Luxury companies were attracted by the cheap rents on offer from local mayors anxious to boast a shiny new mall and by the big populations of even tertiary cities. But these consumers do not necessarily have the money for a Gucci or Louis Vuitton handbag.
As a result of this rapid expansion, China has more luxury stores than any other country in the world, outpacing the US by a wide margin, according to Bernstein Research, and nearing saturation. “需求研究所”报告作者之一路易丝?基莉(Louise Keely)表示,通过在大批中小城市开设奢侈品购物中心来获益的指望是一个“神话”。
“Quietly brands have stopped opening new stores,” says Torsten Stocker, Hong Kong-based partner at consulting group AT Kearney. 近几年,奢侈品公司被地方政府提供的廉价租金以及二三线城市的庞大人口数量所吸引;地方政府官员急于用崭新的光彩夺目的购物中心来炫耀自己的政绩。但那里的消费者不一定有钱购买Gucci或路易威登手袋。
LVMH, the world’s biggest luxury goods group by sales, has closed three Louis Vuitton shops in China, including the brand’s first outlet in the southern city of Guangzhou, following closures in Harbin and Urumqi. 这种快速扩张的结果是,中国的奢侈品门店数量超过全球其他任何国家,伯恩斯坦研究公司(Bernstein Research)的数据显示,其数量大大超过美国,并正在接近饱和。
Jean-Jacques Guiony, the French company’s finance director, had said last month that the group might close some shops in second-tier cities. “China, Hong Kong and Macau are suffering,” he said. Sales of luxury goods are expected to contract 25 per cent in Hong Kong this year, according to Bain. 咨询机构科尔尼(A.T. Kearney)驻香港合伙人唐仕敦(Torsten Stocker)表示:“一些大品牌正悄悄叫停开张新门店的计划。”
The UK’s Burberry and Coach of the US have scaled back in Hong Kong, where rents are rising but the number of Chinese visitors is falling. 全球销售额最大的奢侈品集团LVMH已关闭其在中国的3家路易威登门店,包括该品牌在南方城市广州的首家门店,以及哈尔滨和乌鲁木齐的门店。
Beneficiaries of this shift include North Face, an outdoor brand, and sports companies such as Nike and Adidas, reflecting a growing emphasis on healthier lifestyles. 今年10月,这家法国公司的财务总监让-雅克?盖恩伊(Jean-Jacques Guiony)表示,集团可能关闭其在中国二线城市的一些门店。他表示:“中国内地、香港和澳门正出现困境。”根据贝恩的数据,预计今年香港奢侈品销售额将收缩25%。
Some brands are going against the trend with new openings. Hermès, a relatively late entrant to the Chinese market, has expanded slowly, partly because of production constraints. It opened two new shops last year, making a total of 23, which is less than half the size of the network of Kering’s Gucci or Louis Vuitton. 英国的博柏利和美国的蔻驰(Coach)均缩减了香港的业务,在这里,租金在上涨,但中国内地游客数量却在减少。
As Christopher Bailey, Burberry chief executive, said last month: “The fundamentals of the luxury industry are changing. Growth in Chinese luxury spending is moderating.” 这种转变的受益者包括户外品牌North Face以及耐克(Nike)和阿迪达斯(Adidas)等运动品牌,这反映出人们越来越注重更健康的生活方式。
Those fundamentals include a newfound confidence among Chinese consumers that makes them less willing to accept what western luxury brands say they should buy. 一些品牌正逆势开店。进入中国市场相对较晚的爱马仕(Hermès)一直扩张缓慢,部分原因是产量限制。该品牌去年在中国新开两家门店,门店总量达到23家,不到开云集团(Kering)旗下的Gucci或路易威登门店数量的一半。
“There been a real shift over the past two years in consumer perception about what the right product to buy should be,” says Benjamin Cavender of China Market Research in Shanghai, who says that these consumers perceive big brands as catering to the nouveau riche. 正如博柏利首席执行官克里斯托弗?贝利(Christopher Bailey)在10月所说过的:“奢侈品行业的基本面因素正在变化。中国人的奢侈品支出增速正在放缓。”
“It used to be about making a safe big brand purchase to show off. That’s shifted towards making purchases depending on the individual’s interests and lifestyle,” he adds. 这些基本面因素包括中国消费者找到了新的自信,不再那么愿意接受西方奢侈品牌传递的有关他们该买什么的信息。
Consumers also want to differentiate themselves by spending money on experiences, such as travel, fine dining and the home, instead of buying another designer product, says Emmanuel Hemmerle, managing partner at Emmanuel Hemmerle, a leadership consultancy.
He adds that seven years ago, the Michelin-starred Jean Georges restaurant in Shanghai “had a clientele which was 80 per cent French; now it’s 80 per cent Chinese”. 位于上海的中国市场研究集团(China Market Research Group)的本杰明?卡文德尔(Benjamin Cavender)表示:“过去两年,消费者对于自己购买哪些产品才合适的观念真的发生了变化。”他表示,这些消费者认为大品牌迎合了暴发户的需求。
Consumers are also showing more of an interest in homegrown brands, he says, which could favour a nascent domestic luxury industry. “People are going back to their roots because of a pride and a security in their identity.” 他补充称:“过去,人们购买保险的大品牌产品是为了炫富。如今则转向根据个人兴趣和生活方式购买。”
Luxury goods companies are reacting to these changes. Coach, the US leather goods group, is reaping the benefits within China of being more affordable than many of its upscale competitors, but says that spending by Chinese tourists is also growing. 埃曼努埃尔?海默尔埃梅莱(Emmanuel Hemmerle)是以他自己的姓名命名的领导力咨询公司的管理合伙人。他表示,消费者还希望通过把钱花在体验方面(例如旅游、美食和家居)来体现自己的不同,而不是购买另一款设计师产品。
“The Chinese tourist is an increasingly large part of our business globally — notably in Japan and Europe. We are staffing into this trend, increasing the number of Mandarin speaking store associates in these geographies,” it says. 他补充称,7年前,上海的米其林(Michelin)三星餐厅Jean Georges “80%的客人是法国人;如今80%是中国人”。
The UK’s Burberry is focusing on digital marketing and shifting away from stores, cutting the number of retail staff in Hong Kong by 25 per cent. “In Hong Kong, we’re switching our investment from iconic out-of-home sites that target tourists, to emails, events and media more relevant to the local customer,” said Mr Bailey this month. 他表示,消费者还显示出更多的对本土品牌的兴趣,这可能有利于新兴的国内奢侈品行业。“出于对自身身份认同的自豪和安全感,人们正追本溯源。”
The upside of shutting underperforming stores, and focusing on the more dynamic locations, is that China could become a more profitable country for luxury companies. 奢侈品公司正对这些变化做出反应。美国皮革制品集团蔻驰在中国正因为产品价格较很多高端竞争对手更亲民而受益,但该集团表示,中国游客的支出也在增加。
Erwan Rambourg, luxury goods analyst at HSBC in Hong Kong, says: “Staff costs and rents remain reasonable relative to the rest of the world. We think profit margins will improve because the brands already have enough shops, so can rein in the capex for retail expansion that has weighed on profit margins.” 该集团表示:“中国游客对我们全球业务的贡献越来越大,特别是在日本和欧洲。我们正迎合这种趋势,在这些地区增加说普通话店员的数量。”
He says sales will recover but not overnight. It will take time for import taxes and consumption taxes to be lowered, which would reduce the gap between prices in China compared with other countries. 英国的博柏利正聚焦于数字营销并转向门店以外,将香港零售员工的数量减少25%。贝利最近表示:“在香港,我们正把投资从瞄准游客的标志性户外广告转向与当地顾客更相关的电邮、活动和媒体。”
There are some tantalising signs of improvement. Burberry said sales were picking up in China relative to its last quarter. Cartier-owner, Richemont said this month that growth had resumed in mainland China, lifted by retail sales through its own boutiques. 关闭业绩不佳的门店、专注于更具活力的经营地点的好处在于,对奢侈品集团而言,中国有望成为一个更加利润丰厚的市场。
Gary Saage, finance director of the Swiss group, last month told analysts that in Hong Kong “it’s getting a little less worse?.?.?.?but you know, I’m not going to be popping champagne on that”. 汇丰(HSBC)驻香港奢侈品分析师埃尔文?朗堡(Erwan Rambourg)表示:“相对于全球其他地区,中国的员工成本和租金仍相对合理。我们认为,利润率将改善,因为各品牌已经拥有足够多的门店,能够压缩资本支出,无需进行拖累利润率的零售扩张。”
Broadened horizons: Chinese spending overseas 他表示,销售额将复苏,但不会一蹴而就。降低进口税和消费税(这将缩窄中国与其他国家之间的价格差距)需要时间。
Chinese tourism has taken off spectacularly in recent years, even though only 6 per cent of the population has a passport. Almost 120m Chinese travelled abroad last year, more than double the number five years ago. 目前有一些令人心动的改善迹象。博柏利表示,在华销售额较上一季度出现起色。卡地亚(Cartier)所有者瑞士历峰集团(Richemont)上月表示,受专卖店零售销售的提振,中国业务已恢复增长。
These tourists are hugely important for the luxury goods industry because two-thirds of the ¢65bn of Chinese luxury spending last year took place outside China, some of it by middleman used by consumers to bypass the high taxes on luxury imports that make it cheaper to buy abroad. 这家瑞士集团的财务总监加里?萨吉(Gary Saage)在10月告诉分析师,在香港,“情况变得不那么糟糕了……但你们知道,我们不会为此开香槟庆祝”。
Wealthy travellers are tightening their purse strings, however. Per capita spending on shopping fell 8 per cent in 2014, year on year, according to FT Confidential Research, a Financial Times’ investment research service, because of the economic slowdown and the clampdown on gift-giving. 拓宽视角:中国人海外支出
Total spending increased, however, because the number of overseas trips grew 20 per cent. 近年中国旅游业的发展引人注目,即使全国仅有6%的人口持有护照。去年,赴海外旅游的中国游客达到近1.2亿人次,是5年前的两倍多。
Yet the traditional destinations of Hong Kong for shopping and Macau for gambling, are not reaping the benefits of this rise because increasingly Chinese tourists prefer to travel to new destinations. 这些游客对于奢侈品行业极其重要,因为中国人去年650亿欧元的奢侈品支出中,有三分之二发生在中国境外,其中一部分源自消费者利用中间人代购,绕过高额奢侈品进口税,后者使奢侈品在海外购买更便宜。
Hong Kong is also suffering from unfavourable exchange rates and the aftermath of last year’s political protests that have left many Chinese feeling unwelcome. 然而,富有的游客正收紧钱包。根据英国《金融时报》旗下的投资研究服务部门“投资参考”(FT Confidential Research)的数据,2014年,人均购物支出同比下降8%,原因是经济放缓和政府对礼品馈赠的打击。
South Korea and Japan are instead growing in popularity. A quarter of Chinese tourists chose South Korea for their first trip this year — double the number last year, according to FT Confidential. 不过,整体支出增加,因为海外旅行人次增长20%。
France tops the list of destinations, though it is too soon to say whether last week’s terrorist attacks will deter visitors. 然而。传统的购物目的地香港和赌博目的地澳门没有从中获利,因为越来越多的中国内地游客更青睐新的目的地。
The government in Beijing is trying to encourage shoppers to spend at home rather than abroad, through the development of domestic duty-free shopping zones, such as on Hainan island in the south. 香港还受到不利汇率以及去年让很多内地人感到不受欢迎的政治抗议余波的影响。
Erwan Rambourg, analyst at HSBC, says: “We think that luxury sales in China will recover, thanks to lowered taxes and more domestic duty free outlets that will make purchasing abroad less compelling.” 韩国和日本正越来越受欢迎。根据“投资参考”的数据,今年有四分之一的中国游客把韩国作为首个出境游目的地,是去年人数的两倍。
Scheherazade Daneshkhu in London, Ralph Atkins in Zurich, Adam Thomson in Paris, Rachel Sanderson in Milan, Patti Waldmeir in Shanghai, Lindsay Whipp in Chicago, Jamil Anderlini, Wan Li and Christian Shepherd in Beijing 法国列在中国出境游目的地名单的首位,现在就断言最近的恐怖主义袭击会不会吓退游客还为时尚早。
中国政府正努力发展国内的免税购物区,例如南方的海南岛,鼓励消费者在国内支出。
汇丰分析师埃尔文·朗堡表示:“我们认为,中国的奢侈品销售将复苏,因为税收下调以及国内更多的免税门店将让出国购物的吸引力下降。”
