"Bakugai," or "explosive buying", a phrase referring to record-level shopping sprees by Chinese tourists in Japan, has been named the Japanese Word of the Year.

　　被日本坊间用以形容中国游客在日疯狂购物现象的"爆买"一词，在日本"2015 U-Can新语-流行语大奖"评选中摘得"日本年度词语"桂冠。

　　The top winning phrase, "Bakugai," frequently appears on Japanese media in recent days, after busloads of Chinese travelers arrived at duty-free stores in Tokyo's shopping districts, purchasing items including rice cookers and high-tech toilet seats.

　　斩获头奖的"爆买"成为近来日本媒体上的高频词，形容大批中国游客乘巴士抵达东京购物区免税店、狂买电饭锅和高科技马桶盖等商品的行为。

　　Chinese tourists purchased more than 60 billion yen ($488 million) worth of goods in Japan with China's UnionPay bank cards during the Spring Festival holiday in February, which was a 250 percent year-on-year.

　　今年2月春节期间，中国游客用银联卡在日本购买了超过600亿日元的商品，消费金额同比增长250%。

　　Although Japan is the third most popular destination for Chinese tourists, it is benefitting from China's increasing wealth.

　　虽然对于中国游客来说，日本只是第三受欢迎的旅游目的地，中国日渐增长的财富使该国受益匪浅。
