Our National Day is coming. We shall have days of rest,presumably weeklong holidays again just like the weeklong May Day holidays. Many people welcome weeklong holidays and are busy planning where and how to spend the seven days;whereas many other people do not applaud. As to me, weeklong holidays mean a span of dullness, boredom, melancholy and helplessness, and I think anyone who had experienced the holiday sufferings in May would share my feelings.
I well remember that from May Day, to be more exact, a few days earlier than May Day, the shopping season started.Most shops extended their shopping hours to respond to their overwhelmingly enthusiastic customers. There were special sales with discount coupons and instant lucky draws and various sales promotions in nearly every big store to lure po tential customers into spending more. Crowds of shoppers flocked towards department stores, enjoying their high purchasing power.
There were traffic jams almost everywhere, people waited in long queues at bus-stops:and taxi-stands? looking entirely exhausted.Tempers flared when people gotpushed or if someone else cut the queue.Impatient drivers honked at each other every now and then.
The railway station was congested with travelers who rushed to the platform like a swarm of bees and then squeezed their way into the train for seats as if there would be no tomorrow.
In the restaurants, tables were shared. A platoon of waiters filed out from the kitchen armed with various containers of eatables. Orders were taken feverishly and then shouted across to the kitchen. Excitement reigned everywhere as waiters ran hither and thither to fill the orders.
The above are just some vivid scenes that happened a few months ago. Everywhere was chaos and chaos everywhere. I am really afraid the drama will soon be repeated.
True,weeklong holidays help activate economy, but what about after-holiday depression? No doubt, people can have a lot of leisure, but leisure does not always bring a lot of pleasure.
我们的国庆节即将来临。我们将休息的日子,大概一周假期就像一周的五一假期。许多人欢迎为期一周的假期,正忙着计划,以及如何度过七天,而其他许多人并不赞同。至于我,一周假期意味着无聊的时间,无聊、忧郁和无助,我认为那些经历过这个节日痛苦可能会分享我的感受。
我清楚地记得,5月的一天,更精确,比五一几天前,购物季开始了。大多数商店延长购物时间回应他们压倒性的热情的客户。有特殊销售折扣优惠券和即时幸运了在几乎每一个大商店和各种促销活动来吸引阿宝tential顾客花费更多。人群的消费者涌向百货商店,享受他们的高购买力。
几乎在任何地方都有交通堵塞,人们在排长队等候在公交站台:和出租汽车站吗?看起来完全筋疲力尽了。兵戎相见,当人们gotpushed或者别人把队列。不耐烦的司机鸣笛彼此每一个现在,然后。
火车站拥挤的游客冲到平台就像一群蜜蜂,然后挤在火车座位好像就没有明天。
在餐馆,表被共享。排的服务员提出从厨房配备各种食品容器。订单被狂热,然后跨到厨房喊道。兴奋作到处都是服务员跑到处填补这个订单。
以上只是一些生动的场景发生在几个月前。到处都是混沌和混沌无处不在。我真的害怕这出戏很快就会重复。
真的,一周假期帮助激活经济,但是些抑郁呢?毫无疑问,人们可以有很多的休闲,但休闲并不总是带来很多快乐。
