China entered its 40-day Chinese New Year travel rush, or "chunyun,"?on Jan 8 and reached its peak on Jan 19, according to official annoucement.

從1月8日起，中國(guó)進(jìn)入了為期40天的“春運(yùn)”。根據(jù)官方數(shù)據(jù)，春運(yùn)將在19日這天進(jìn)入高峰期。

Some call it the world's largest annual human migration. People spend days and nights in line at the train station to get a single ticket, but many others are never able to get on a train home. What's new this year, however, is passengers can buy train tickets online during the travel rush. To what extent can the e-ticket system relieve transportation stress? To go even further: How has China's "chunyun" become a problem?

有人說(shuō)，中國(guó)的春運(yùn)是每年世界上最大的人類(lèi)遷徙。很多人在火車(chē)站晝夜排隊(duì)，只為買(mǎi)到一張火車(chē)票， 而有人則根本無(wú)法買(mǎi)到車(chē)票。與往年不同的是，今年乘客可以第一次通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)購(gòu)買(mǎi)車(chē)票。但網(wǎng)絡(luò)購(gòu)票系統(tǒng)多大程度上能緩解購(gòu)票的壓力？再進(jìn)一步探究：中國(guó)的春運(yùn)如何成了一個(gè)問(wèn)題？
