Strump: Stop playing with your phone. You've been on it all day.
不要玩手機了,你都玩了一整天了。
Kristen: I am trying to get a ticket to go home for the Spring Festival.
我在買回家過年的票
Strump: Why does it take so long?
怎麼買個票要這麼久?
Kristen: There are more than 1.3 billion people in China. They all travel around at this time. That's why.
中國有超過13億人。大家都要回家。所以難買票。
Strump: Can't you just go home another time?
難道你不可以換個時間回去嗎?
Kristen: I can't. I have to go home during the Spring Festival. I really enjoy having a big meal with my family, watching the Spring Festival gala, and visiting all my relatives.
不行。我必須過年在家。一定要和我家人一起吃年夜飯,一起看春晚,一起走親訪友。
Strump: Yeah. But can't you do that anytime of the year?
我知道。但是你其他時間也可以做這些呀?
Kristen: I can, but it feels different during the Spring Festival. I guess this is something foreigners will never understand. You know the Spring Festival is just so important for me, and it's so important for all Chinese people I think. We have to go home no matter how difficult it is to get a ticket. Even if I had to take a motorcycle to go home. Even if it took so many days. I will still be home. It's a family tradition.
是可以,但是過年的時候一起吃飯看電視走親訪友感覺不一樣。我猜老外應該很難理解這一點。你知道的,過年對於我,對於所有的中國人都太重要了。不管買票多難,都是一定要回家的。實在不行,騎摩託車回去,在路上多待幾天也行,反正就是要回家。家庭傳統。
