Spring Festival travel rush
新年在中国是一个非常重要的节日
New Year is a very important festival in China
我们一般叫春节
We usually call it Spring Festival
春节意味着团圆
Spring Festival means reunion
在这个节日，无论你离家多远
On this holiday, no matter how far from home you are
人们总是会回到家里和家人团聚
People always go home to their families
说到这里就不得不说一下春运
Here ，we have to talk about the Spring Festival travel rush
你想，全国各地在外工作的人都要回家
You know, all over the country people who work outside the home have to go home
而大家选择的交通工具一般都是火车
Most people choose to travel by train
你知道，中国是一个人口大国
And China is a populous country
那么多人都想坐火车回家
So many people want to go home by train
可想而知火车票是多么难买
You can imagine how difficult it is to buy train tickets
上大学的时候，我曾经凌晨四点去火车站排队买票
When I was in college, I used to stand in line at the train station at 4 a.m
我们一般提前一个月就要抢票了
We usually have to scramble for tickets a month in advance
现在好多了，有很多抢票软件，花了钱就可以自动抢
It's much better now. There are a lot of ticket-snatching apps that can help you if you're willing to pay
一些人因为买不到票而不得不推迟回家的日期
but Some people had to postpone their return home because they could not get tickets
如果你侥幸买到了票
If you're lucky enough to get a ticket
在火车里也是非常拥挤的
It is also very crowded in the train
走廊上，厕所里，全都是人
The hallways, the toilets, they're full of people
很多买站票的人会自己带一个小板凳
Many standing-room-ticket buyers bring their own small stool
这时候，如果你想去上个厕所会非常困难
At this point, if you want to go to the bathroom will be very difficult
我那时都会选择少喝水，减少上厕所的次数
I used to drink less water and go to the bathroom less often
但最不能让人容忍的是火车上的气味
But the most intolerable is the smell of the train
太难闻了
It's too bad
我有一次一进火车差点吐了
I almost threw up once when I got in the train
好吧，如果有一天你要来中国
Well, if one day you come to China
千万不要选择在春节坐火车
Never choose to take the train during the Spring Festival
因为那种经历一定会让你终生难忘😂
Because that experience is sure to stick with you for the rest of your life
不过，你可以选择飞机，高铁，票价更贵，但是不会拥挤
However, you can choose the plane, high-speed rail, the ticket price is more expensive, but not crowded
但是，不管多么一票难求，都抵挡不住中国人想要回家的心
But no matter how hard it is to get a ticket, the Chinese want to go home
