2017春运即将开始 春运成因英语介绍

The Spring Festival Travel Rush, also known as Chunyun in Chinese, or Spring Festival Travel Season / Transportation Peak is considered to be the largest annual migration.It is the special period when China faces an extremely high traffic load, which results in great transportation problems, especially on the railway services.

春运是中国在农历春节前后发生的一种大规模的高交通运输压力的现象，尤其是火车运输方面的压力。

Millions of people working or studying out of their hometowns will be hurrying home to reunite with families as the Chinese Spring Festival approaches. This long-held tradition is the main reason for the rush. The other is that the holiday is one of the two week-long holidays of the year, a perfect travel time for many people. The rush usually begins 15 days ahead of the Chinese Lunar New Year and 25 days after that.

成千上万在外求学的人或者在外工作的人都会在春节临近时回家团圆。这个传统是造成春运压力的主要原因。另外一个原因就是春节正好是中国两大黄金周之一，是许多人旅游的好时机。春运一般从节前15天开始到节后25天结束。

During the 40 days of Chunyun period, the inter-city transportation faces great challenges. The demand for tickets far exceeds the supply. Various measures are adopted to alleviate the problem by opening many temporary trains (numbers starting with letter L), extending the working hours of booking office and opening up more booths.

在春运期间，国内的交通运输将面临极大的挑战，车票供小于求。铁路局会采取多种措施来应对春运压力，比如开设临客（L字头的列车）、延长售票时间以及开设更多的售票点。
