马上就要过年了！过年前，整个中国见证了春运，提到春运，我们又不得不想到抢票。那么，“春运”、“抢票”、“倒票”、“*贩票**子”分别用英语怎么说呢？我们一起来学习吧，本蟹祝大家抢票成功！
1. 春运：the annual massive migration before and after the Chinese New Year，也即“一年一度的春节前后的大迁徙”，虽然比较复杂，但这样说得很清楚。有些地方也翻译为travel rush over the Lunar New Year或New Year rush。
2. 抢票：snap up train tickets。“抢票”中的“抢”其实不是“抢钱包”等简单粗暴的通过*力暴**的形式来获取，而是“抢购”，有“如果不抓紧买就卖没有了”的意思。换句话说，“抢票”就是“抢购火车票”。我们来看一下Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner's Dictionary 5th Edition对snap up的解释：If you snap something up, you buy it quickly because it is cheap or is just what you want. 其中的buy it quickly because it is cheap or is just what you want（因为便宜或需要而迅速购买）说明了snap up跟中文的“抢购”精确对应。
“我熬了一个通宵，在网上抢火车票。”就可以说成
I stayed up all night, snapping up train tickets online.
3. 倒票：【美】scalp tickets，【英】tout tickets。
4. *贩票**子：【美】ticket scalper，【英】ticket tout。请注意，tout既是名词又是动词，但是scalp是动词而scalper才是名词。

Beijing (CNN) Beijing police have arrested 12 people for scalping tickets for hospital appointments as authorities pledge to crack down on a scam that infuriates many and prevents some patients from getting much-needed care.
Scalpers buy up tickets in bulk and then sell them to would-be patients at inflated prices. Those with the most serious needs are often the biggest victims of the rip-off.
