How are Chinese holidaymakers spending their Spring Festival holidays?
A real-time interactive map has revealed that shopping and foot massages were the top two leisure activities over the Lunar New Year. The map was issued by Dianping.com, a popular Chinese rating website for leisure and dining services.
The map showed that hotel stays, cafes and karaoke rounded out the top five forms of holiday activities, followed by spa and outdoor sports.
The amount of money spent by holidaymakers varied by region. Dianping.com said that since February 16, three days prior to the Chinese New Year, consumers in Hong Kong were the biggest spenders, with an average of 1,500 yuan, almost 240 US dollars. The national average stood at 300 yuan.
Shanghai came in second, with an average spending of 700 yuan on shopping, cafes and foot massages as their favorites activities.
Beijing ranked fifth, with consumers spending 470 yuan on average.
holidaymaker n. 度假者，假日游客 这个词可不是“假日制造者”，切勿因为它的结构跟troublemaker（麻烦制造者）一样而想当然。
real-time interactive map n. 实时交互式地图
round out v. 完成，填满，使圆满
例句：
An Olympic gold medal will round out his illustrious career. （一枚奥运金牌将使他辉煌的运动生涯变得圆满。）
An ancient iPod nano 1 will round out her collection of every Apple product that’s ever been made. We don’t call her a fanatic Apple fan for nothing. （再来一个古老的iPod nano 1，她就可以完成史上所有苹果产品的收藏了。“疯狂果粉”这个外号可不是白叫的。）
stand at… v. 位于（某个水平）
例句：
I know your salary isn’t ideal by your standards, but it still stands at a level head and shoulders above the national average. Perhaps you can find solace in that. （我知道你的工资没有达到你自己的标准，但它还是远远高出全国平均数字。也许你能就此获得些许慰藉。）
come in/ rank … v. 排在（第几） 这两种表达方式都很常见，可互换。此外简单的be动词也可起到同样效果。
例句：
The competition is over. Despite her valiant effort, she came in/ranked/was second to last. （比赛结束了。尽管她作了最大努力，她还是仅仅排在倒数第二。）
