春运来袭
01
春运
Spring Transportation ❎
the Spring Festival travel season✅
Spring Festival travel rush✅
春运一般开始于除夕得前十五天
并持续持续40多天左右
已经形成人潮拥挤得一个
“季度”(season)
rush:a very busy time when a lot of people are shopping or traveling
rush作名词时,表示高峰期和繁忙活动期
所以说“春运”比较标准得翻译为:
the Spring Festival travel season
或者
Spring Festival travel rush
It's difficult to buy a train ticket during the Spring Festival travel season.
在春运期间,很难买到火车票。
