Tourist destinations normally heaving ( )with Chinese visitors have suddenly gone quiet as fears ramp up ( )over the new coronavirus outbreak.
Japanese are also shunning ( )areas that traditionally attract large crowds for fear of becoming infected.
On Feb. 11, a national holiday, tourists were out and about ( )in the narrow streets of the Tsukiji Outer Market in Tokyo’s Chuo Ward, but it was rare to hear Chinese being spoken. Usually, the area is packed with ( )tourists, but many restaurants had empty seats -even at lunch time.
Hiroshi Tanabe, manager of a seafood barbeque ( )restaurant, said sales are down by 60 percent compared with ( )their peak ( ).
"I pray the situation will return to normal by the cherry blossom ( ) viewing season," Tanabe, 39, said. "For now, we just have to put up with ( )it."
中籍和日籍遊客皆從主要觀光景點銷聲匿跡
隨著對新型冠狀病毒疫情的恐懼增溫,通常中國遊客人滿為患的觀光景點,突然變得安靜。
害怕被感染的日本人,也迴避那些傳統上吸引大批人群的區域。
在(日本)國定假日2月11日,遊人穿梭於東京中央區築地場外市場的狹窄街道,但幾乎聽不到中文。該區通常擠滿遊客,但如今許多餐廳仍有空位—即使是在午餐時間。
海鮮燒烤餐廳經理田邊寬說,相較於全盛時期,業績下滑達6成之多。
「我祈求到了賞櫻季會恢復正常」,39歲的田邊說。「目前我們只能忍耐。」

as spoken just now中文 在 葡萄牙自由行 Uma Volta em Portugal Facebook 的最佳解答
【中文成為鞋業重鎮 São João da Madeira 的 8-9歲學生的必修科目】
【Mandarin has been made compulsory at schools in the town of São João da Madeira】
學習中文在世界上很多地方真的成為一股熱潮。 只有2萬名居民的葡萄牙北部小鎮 São João da Madeira, 已將中文科列為當地8-9歲小學生的必修科目!
Chinese learning craze is sweeping in many parts of the world. São João da Madeira - a small industrial town in the north of Portugal, the country''s shoe capital which specialises in luxury footwear - has now made Mandarin Chinese compulsory for children aged 8 and 9!
São João da Madeira 是國家的鞋業重鎮, 專門從事高檔鞋類製造。鎮的教育官員希望, 小朋友長遠能學好中文, 增強競爭力和優勢, 未來能幫助推廣和銷售國家的高檔鞋類產品到中國, 促進經濟。葡萄牙政府正緊密觀察新政策之成效,看看日後會否將政策推展到在全國各地推行。
不知將來, 中文會否有一日成為葡萄牙的第二大或第三大語言呢 (就像西班牙語是美國的第二大語言)? :-)
The aim is to give their youth the competitive tool to help sell their products to China - the world's biggest market. The government is observing the new policy closely to see if it can be implemented throughout the country.
Will Chinese language one day become the second or third most used language in Portugal (just as Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States)? :-)
