「自由行」與沙甸魚
因為「自由行」的遊客人數迫爆，香港總是處處見沙甸魚也似的人山人海場面。對了，如果「好久不見」英文可以講Long timeno see， 「不行」就是No go，那「人山人海」為什麼不說People mountain peoplesea？
就是仍未給視為正規英文，不屬通用語。
真要直譯，人山人海是︰Mountains and seas of people，但恐怕許多英文教師都會改做Huge crowds ofpeople。
形容人多，英文傳統不用山，但就一樣有用海與浪來做比喻︰
We saw a sea of people at the graduationceremony. 畢業禮上，只見人山人海。I am alone in a sea of people. 在人海中，我很孤單。
There were waves of people marchingthrough the city. 人潮一浪接一浪操過城市。There is a non-stop flow of people. 人潮延綿不絕。
要形容人多至針插不下、爆滿， 有packed out、filled to capacity、chock-a-block、chock-full ︰The square is packed out. 廣場擠滿人。
The concert all is filled to capacity. 音樂廳全場滿座。
The fans were chock-a-block in thewaiting area. 影迷在等候區擠得水泄不通。
（Chock-a-block，人多至轉不了身、動不了； crammed so tightly together as toprevent movement.）
The park is chock-full of kids. 公園擠滿了兒童。
（Chock-full 意指full to choking，擠得透不過氣來，就容易記得了。Chock-full 也常用於講人以外的情︰ My work schedulesare chock-full. 我的工作時間表已爆滿。）
另外，話說擠擁，英文也用上jam（果醬）或sardine（沙甸魚）︰The hall was jam-packed with fans. 禮堂爆滿了「粉絲」。The place was sardined with supporters.那處擠滿了支持者。
The bus was full. We were packed in likesardines. 巴士爆滿， 我們給擠得像沙甸魚。
