01春运

Spring Transportation 

the Spring Festival travel season

Spring Festival travel rush

春运一般开始于除夕的前十五天

并持续持续40多天左右

已经形成人潮拥挤的一个

“季度”(season)

rush：a very busy time when a lot of people are shopping or traveling

rush作名词时，表示高峰期和繁忙活动期

所以说“春运”比较标准的翻译为：

the Spring Festival travel season

或者

Spring Festival travel rush

It's difficult to buy a train ticket during the Spring Festival travel season.

在春运期间，很难买到火车票。
