01春運

Spring Transportation 

the Spring Festival travel season

Spring Festival travel rush

春運一般開始于除夕的前十五天

并持續(xù)持續(xù)40多天左右

已經(jīng)形成人潮擁擠的一個

“季度”(season)

rush：a very busy time when a lot of people are shopping or traveling

rush作名詞時，表示高峰期和繁忙活動期

所以說“春運”比較標準的翻譯為：

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.

在春運期間，很難買到火車票。

02關(guān)于“春運”的詞

high season

高峰期

The high season is the time of year when a place has most tourists or visitors.

如果是持續(xù)時間較長的高峰期，

用high season

相反，淡季則是：low season

而持續(xù)時間相對來說比較短

像上下班的高峰期

則用rush hour會更恰當一些

Don't travel to Thailand in March, It’s high season.

不要在三月份去泰國旅游，因為那是高峰期。

球票或電影票的人;做投機的人。

He bought the ticket at a higher price from a ticket scalper.

他從一個黃牛那里以高價買到了票。
