Read English news every day!

After staying up late, struggling with maddeningly slow internet access and scrabbling for bargains amid the millions of other buyers who were online, we bet you woke up smiling this morning.

經歷了與百萬網友大戰,與卡成渣的網速對罵之後,你是不是終於下單了很多寶貝?今早怕不是都是笑醒的吧。

But today, with Cher's If I Could Turn Back Time playing in the background, let's tackle a more frustrating topic: buyer's remorse. Buyer's remorse is defined as the sense of regret sometimes experienced after making a purchase. It can stem from a fear of making the wrong choice, guilt over extravagance, or a suspicion of having been overly influenced by the seller.

不過今天(來來來,雪姨的「如果時間可以倒流」放起來),咱們來聊一個悲桑的話題:購買之後的悔過感。如果你害怕買錯了東西、後悔花了太多錢、或者覺得被店家坑了,就會產生這種感覺啦。

It's not a feeling any of us want to have, but it's one we've all felt at one time or another! Today we are going to share some of the biggest buyer's remorse moments — are any of these products on your shopping list?

當然了,誰都不想有類似的經歷,但是我們多多少少都有過這種感覺,本君也不例外。今天CD君就給大家盤點一下最後悔買過的那些東西,哼哼沒準兒你們的訂單裡就有它們喲。

After the yoga mat, you bought some sportswear because you can't work out in your day-to-day clothes; then you realized you needed a sweatband — and a pair of sports headphones; but carrying around your phone while exercising is a pain, so you bought a new mp3 player that attaches to your sportswear. And a pedometer to count your steps. Oh, and a second set of headphones just in case the first ones wear out. And then, you quit working out.

瑜伽墊到了之後,因為不能穿日常的衣服運動,就買了運動服;容易流汗,買了導汗帶;不想外放音樂,買了運動耳機;覺得拿手機太累,買了新的mp3夾在衣服上,隨後又配了一個新耳機。然後就不運動了。

You have never woken up early enough to boil an egg for yourself.

早上從來沒有爬起來過。

First day: From today, I will start to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Three days later: Why do I have to wash my feet again after taking a shower every day?

第一天:從今天起好好養生,好好愛自己。

三天之後:真是搞不懂我天天洗澡為什麼還要單獨洗腳?

You can't do anything with it except read e-books. Sure, the newer models allow you to take notes — but it's even harder to use than the old Wubi input method on Windows 98! Not to mention the pleasure of writing with a pen on paper.

除了看書什麼都不能幹,寫一點筆記比win98的五筆輸入法都難,根本體會不到在紙張上寫寫畫畫的快感!

You will only use it twice: once for an egg tart, once for a chiffon cake. 500 yuan each.

買完只烤過一次蛋撻和一次戚風蛋糕,每個值500塊。

Gym coach: Do you want a new membership card? You'll get a great discount!

You: No thanks. I've got a membership card from last year and still haven't lost any weight. I don't think exercise is working out for me.

Gym coach: Honey, seriously, have you counted how many times you've been here since last year?

You: …

教練:新的會員卡新鮮出爐了哦!優惠多多,要不要辦一張?

你:不了吧。我去年就辦了,到現在都沒瘦下來,也不管用啊。

教練:可是這一年都沒見過親親幾次呢~

你:……

Highly impractical, especially in today's fast-paced world. What if someone knocks you over on the subway during rush hour?

還想穿著高跟鞋走在上下班的高峰裡?不怕被擠翻嗎?

You when you bought it: Wow, I'm going to be the most beautiful princess in this as soon as I lose some weight!

You now: *sigh*

買的時候心想:如果瘦下來穿這個一定會驚豔全場!然後……嗯,就沒有然後了。

First time using it: This is amazing! I can make myself delicious, healthy homemade juice!

Second time using it: It's such a waste of time. I'd rather buy bottled juice. There's no difference anyway!

第一次使用:天吶這太神奇了!我終於可以喝到又健康又好喝的自製果汁了!

第二次使用:咦……這簡直就是浪費時間嘛。還是去買一瓶算了,又沒差多少。

Do-it-yourself face-lift gadgets

Who knows if these things really work, but even if they do, you'll run out of patience with them long before they start to have an effect.

誰知道這東西有沒有用,我輸給的是堅持。

Did you buy any of the goods listed above?

If so, we hope you have a better time with them than we did, and no regrets!
