每年三四月，櫻花樹下人潮涌動。除了早到占位之外，還可以另辟蹊徑坐船賞櫻。請看本報昨日的報道： Every spring, crowds flock to tourist destinations across China renowned for beautiful blossoms, with cherry blossoms, or sakura, being one of the highlights. Instead of beating the crowd for a spot under the sakura trees, there are other options, as some of the top cherry blossom destinations also offer boat trips, where visitors can float on lakes while taking in the beauty of spring flowers. 報道中的beat the crowd就是 “早到以避開人流”，例如： If we want a good view of the parade, we’ll have to get there early and beat the crowd. 要想占個好位置看巡游，我們必須搶在人潮之前到達。 |
