A couple of Chinese students opted to avoid traffic jams during the Golden
Week holiday by travelling 352 miles (567 kilometres) to their destination by
roller skate, it’s reported.
据报道，在国庆黄金周期间，两名中国学生为了避免交通堵塞，滑行了352英里(567公里)到达目的地。
According to Beijing Youth Daily the two university students set off from
Jining College in eastern Shandong province on 1 October and spent five days
travelling by roller skate along the motorway to Beijing, where they had plans
to spend their autumn break.
据《北京青年报》报道，这两名大学生于10月1日从山东济宁大学出发，在高速公路上滑行了5天后到达北京，在那里度过这个假期。
The Golden Week holiday sees millions of Chinese travel to their hometowns
and villages to spend time with their relatives, but they usually choose
conventional road, rail and air journeys.
国庆黄金周期间，数百万中国人回到他们的家乡或者山村，与家人团聚，不过他们通常选择的是便捷的公路、铁路或者飞机出行。
The pair carried some clothes and basic food and water in backpacks, and
chose to eat and sleep at places they came across at the roadside. English
language newspaper China Daily says that they collectively wore out 12 bearings
on their shoes during their journey, which is the same distance as travelling
from central London to Sheffield and back.
两人仅背着几件简单的衣服、食物和水，一路上吃住全靠路边的餐厅、旅馆。据《中国日报》英文版报道，这一路上他们的轮滑鞋一共磨损了12个轴承。这段距离相当于从伦敦市中心到谢菲尔德的往返那么远。
"Our families were concerned about our safety," one of the students told
Beijing Youth Daily. "But before we set out, we sought the advice of
professionals on where not to go, and how to stay safe."
“我们的家人担心我们的安全，”其中一名学生告诉《北京青年报》。“但在我们出发之前，我们有寻求过专业人士的建议，哪里不能去，如何保持安全等。”
Jining College confirmed the students’ safe arrival by posting pictures of
them on their official Sina Weibo microblog.
济宁大学在新浪官方微博上发布了两人的照片，确认两人安全到达。
But state media have discouraged other students from copying their method
of travel. Beijing Traffic Police told China Daily that the students violated
traffic rules, and that others looking to carry out similar journeys could face
fines.
但官方媒体并不鼓励其他学生效仿他们的旅行方式。北京交警告诉《中国日报》，这些学生违反了交通规则，其他想进行类似旅行的人可能会面临罚款。
Nevertheless, the students insist that they have no regrets about carrying
out this journey. "This trip was interesting and meaningful. We just took
advantage of this holiday and were able to realise a dream."
然而，两名学生们坚持认为他们不后悔本次旅行。“这次旅行既有趣又很有意义。我们只是利用这个假期实现了一个梦想。” |
