喜歡買(mǎi)買(mǎi)買(mǎi)？想節(jié)約卻總控制不住手？英國(guó)一位女性的經(jīng)歷大概會(huì)讓很多“剁手族”咋舌。她經(jīng)常在夢(mèng)中網(wǎng)購(gòu)，醒來(lái)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己下了好多單，錢(qián)都付了，而且網(wǎng)購(gòu)的商品千奇百怪，甚至包括一個(gè)全尺寸籃球場(chǎng)。

A mother-of-three who suffers from a rare sleeping disorder spent ￡3,000 in internet shopping sprees while fast asleep.

英國(guó)一位三個(gè)孩子的母親患有罕見(jiàn)的睡眠障礙，她在睡夢(mèng)中網(wǎng)購(gòu)已經(jīng)花費(fèi)了三千英鎊（約合2.6萬(wàn)元人民幣）。

Kelly Knipes, 37, regularly woke up in the morning to find email receipts for items she had unconsciously bought online during the night.

37歲的凱利?尼普斯經(jīng)常在清晨醒來(lái)時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在夜間無(wú)意識(shí)地網(wǎng)購(gòu)了數(shù)件商品，并在郵箱收到收據(jù)。

One day a delivery lorry turned up outside her home containing an 'in-ground Basketball Unit' including a net, pole and backboard bought on Ebay for ￡100, which she hadn't realize she had purchased.

某天，一輛快遞卡車(chē)出現(xiàn)在她家門(mén)外，運(yùn)來(lái)一個(gè)地埋式籃球場(chǎng)套裝，包括球筐、支架和籃板，購(gòu)于易趣網(wǎng)，售價(jià)100英鎊，而她壓根不知道自己買(mǎi)了這些。

Other items she has ordered include hundreds of pounds worth of Haribo sweets, ￡58 worth of cookie jars, tins of paint, salt and pepper pots, a Wendy house, two fridges, a table and books about teaching - despite her not being a teacher.

她在網(wǎng)上下單的其他商品還包括，價(jià)值數(shù)百英鎊的哈瑞寶糖果、價(jià)值58英鎊的餅干罐、幾桶涂料、鹽和胡椒罐、溫迪屋（供孩子玩耍的游戲室）、兩臺(tái)冰箱、一個(gè)桌子和幾本教學(xué)書(shū)籍，而她并不是教師。

By not being able to return a lot of the goods, she has been left in 'at least' ￡3,000 of debt.

由于很多商品無(wú)法退貨，她已因此“至少”負(fù)債三千英鎊。
