  Migrant worker: 民工

随着春节的临近,一年一度的春运高峰已于上星期六开始。据统计,从1月14日到2月22日期间出行旅客人数最多时超过20亿人次,主要包括返乡的民工、学生以及外出的游客等。

中国日报网站报道如下:The Spring Festival travel peak started last Saturday. During the 40-day peak season, from Jan. 14 to Feb. 22, a record over 2 billion migrant workers, students and tourists will travel to and fro to hometowns and holiday destinations.

Migrant 的原意是"移民、候鸟",名词,现在多指在城市打工的"民工"。 migrant worker 可译为"民工、流动工人",如:Migrant workers move from city to city in search of work.. 民工们为了找寻工作,从一个城市迁移到另一个城市。
