春运期间,一票难求
很多小伙伴最近都在愁回家的车票
一年一度的抢票大战开始了!

抢票用英语可以这样说:
ticket scramble / frenzy / crush
The annual ticket scramble is the first hurdle of the Spring Festival travel rush.
一年一度的抢票大战是春运要闯的第一关。
如果是用动词表达,可以用:
snag / secure a ticket
(好不容易)抢到一张票
After refreshing the page for an hour, I finally snagged a ticket home.
刷了一个小时的页面后,我终于抢到了一张回家的票。
这票究竟有多难抢?
Even with the fastest internet, popular route tickets sell out within seconds.
即便网速最快,热门线路的车票也会在几秒钟内售罄。

我们总用“车票秒光”
来形容一票难求
那么“车票秒光”
用英语又该怎么表达呢?
可以这样说:
Tickets sell out within seconds / in the blink of an eye.
很多小伙伴不得不定闹钟抢票
set an alarm for the ticket release
熬夜/设闹钟掐点抢票
甚至全家人熬夜到凌晨抢票,
每人用不同的设备尝试:
Whole families book in the wee hours, each member trying on a different device.
票之所以难抢,
除了需要回家的人比较多以外
还有票贩子/黄牛
ticket scalper / tout
在跟你抢!
然后再高价倒卖车票:
resell tickets at inflated prices
Scalpers often resell tickets at wildly inflated prices.
黄牛经常以高得离谱的价格倒卖车票。
许多人抱怨是抢票机器人
导致普通人根本买不到票:
Many blame ticket-snatching bots for making it impossible for ordinary people to buy tickets.
你感受过春运抢票吗?
