这个春节百万中国人出境扫货

然而，虽然各个国家纷纷放宽签证限制、雇佣会讲汉语的售货员，急切地希望从中国人的旅游热潮中获利，中国游客却发现，有钱在国外也不一定能享受到笑脸，包括从其他中国人那里。

Liu Yikun, 26, an accountant, took her mother along for what she thought would be a relaxing trip to Boracay, a tropical island in the Philippines famed for its white-sand beaches and Windex-blue waters. But she quickly discovered that droves of her compatriots had the same idea.

26岁的刘亦昆（音）是一名会计，带着母亲一起前往菲律宾的热带岛屿长滩岛游玩。那里以雪白的沙滩和碧蓝的大海而闻名，她原本以为这会是一次令人放松的旅行，但很快就发现，很多同胞有着同样的想法。

“I rolled my eyes when I saw Chinese tour groups going to the beaches,” said Ms. Liu. Desperate to avoid the crowds, the Lius fled to a less popular strip of sand and returned to Beijing before the peak travel days.

“看到中国旅行团向海滩进发时，我翻了个白眼，”刘亦昆说。她和母亲急于避开人群，逃到了知名度较低的一片沙滩，并在交通高峰到来之前返回了北京。

On Monday, a driver from Beijing with a baby on board was filmed repeatedly crossing into oncoming traffic before a fellow motorist confiscated his rental car keys. A few days earlier, a Chinese tourist was charged with causing the death of a five-year-old New Zealand girl after his car crossed the median and collided with an oncoming vehicle. In court,“the man showed no emotion during the hearing,” Hong Kong’s Standard newspaper reported.
