名人教英文：「自由行」与沙丁鱼
因为「自由行」的游客人数迫爆，香港总是处处见沙丁鱼也似的人山人海场面。对了，如果「好久不见」英文可以讲long time no see，「不行」就是no go，那「人山人海」为什么不说people mountain people sea？
就是仍未给视为正规英文，不属通用语。真要直译，人山人海是︰
mountains and seas of people，但恐怕许多英文教师都会改做huge crowds of people。
形容人多，英文传统不用山，但就一样有用海与浪来做比喻︰
we saw a sea of people at the graduation ceremony.
毕业礼上，只见人山人海。
i am alone in a sea of people.
在人海中，我很孤单。
there were waves of people marching through the city.
人潮一浪接一浪操过城市。
there is a non-stop flow of people.
人潮延绵不绝。
要形容人多至针插不下、爆满，有packed out、filled to capacity、chock-a-block、chock-full︰
the square is packed out.
广场挤满人。
the concert all is filled to capacity.
音乐厅全场满座。
the fans were chock-a-block in the waiting area.
影迷在等候区挤得水泄不通。
（chock-a-block，人多至转不了身、动不了；crammed so tightly together as to prevent movement.）
the park is chock-full of kids.
公园挤满了儿童。
（chock-full意指full to choking，挤得透不过气来，就容易记得了。chock-full也常用于讲人以外的情况︰my work schedules are chock-full. 我的工作时间表已爆满。）
另外，话说挤拥，英文也用上jam（果酱）或sardine（沙丁鱼）︰
the hall was jam-packed with fans.
礼堂爆满了「粉丝」。
the place was sardined with supporters.
那处挤满了支持者。
the bus was full. we were packed in like sardines.
巴士爆满，我们给挤得像沙丁鱼。
