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.
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。
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.
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。
