沟边的大妈

Chinese DamasBeside the Gap

清明小长假看到一则视频新闻，在上海动物园门口，大妈们手持动物园门票和两名身穿保安制服的人激烈争辩着，上演了“5名大妈群挑10名保安”的精彩一幕。大妈对阵保安不奇怪，倒是其中的原因颇有意思。原来，这几位大妈去逛动物园，票价花了40元，但她们发现不少游客拿的团购门票（百度糯米的活动）价格只要1元时，顿时心理不平衡了，认为是动物园方面欺骗了她们。

The term 'Dama' was allegedly io cnu-r the Oxford Dictionary. These 'bargain-hunting middle-aged Chinese women' who 'keep a tight grip on the family punse and aneagle eye on gold prices', fail to keep a tight grip on many other things.During the Qingming Festival,also kmown as the Tomb-sweeping Day,several Damasin front of the Shanghai Zoo. They were angry because they had paid RMB 40 for eachof their tickets, and they found some others spend only RMB 1 through 'group buy',which the Damas had not even hear about.They believed they were cheated by the zoo. They had reason to become angry. TheDamas, you know, are 'bargain-hunting'. Butnow the businesses put the 'bargains' on theInternet which most of the Damas lack theabilities to use. This will definitely make themfurious. They do not know why. They do not evenknow the term 'Digital Gap'. It is the gapthat makes them lag behind the young and the 'bargains'.
