When John and Marry first arrived in China from America, they were not used to the traffic. They found streets were so busy, the traffic was heavy and really noisy. That was not really a problem to them in New York where the traffic is also noisy and heavy. The main problem facing John and Mary was the different traffic rules in China. They were used to crossing the street at the crossing while the traffic stopped for the pedestrians. Now, they had to learn how to dodge the traffic not only when they crossed the road but sometimes even on the sidewalks.
当约翰和玛丽第一次从美国来到中国时，他们不习惯中国的交通情况。他们发现街上很热闹，交通繁忙，很吵。这对他们来说不是问题，因为纽约的交通业很繁忙、拥堵。约翰和玛丽面临的主要问题是中国不同的交通规则。他们习惯了在十字路口穿过马路，车辆为行人让路。现在，他们不得不学习在穿过马路甚至有时在人行道上如何躲避车辆。
