Tickets of Noah’s Ark in fashion

電影《2012》為我們展示了一場全世界性的災(zāi)難，只有登上位于西藏的諾亞方舟才能確保安全。影片中這艘大船的船票可是1000萬歐元，而在現(xiàn)實生活中，船票的價格僅需要不到0.5美元.

The movie 2012 even makes an attempt to show us the catastrophic events leading up to the worldwide disaster, and a modern version of Noah's Ark, a ship in Tibet where people will be safe. While tickets for the movie ship cost a billion Euros each, in real life they can be purchased for less than $0.5.

中國在線購物門戶網(wǎng)站淘寶上有很多商鋪開始出售虛擬船票，每張價格3元人民幣。2012年，把這種船票作為新年禮物非常流行，很多人想用這種滑稽的保全方式來面對世界末日。目前，江蘇的一個商鋪已經(jīng)賣出了2500張船票，每張3元。還有一家商鋪在一個月間賣出了1700張船票，每張2元.

Chinese online shopping portal, Taobao, has several online stores selling these counterfeit tickets at 3 RMB a piece. The tickets have been popular as a new year's gift, a comical way of ensuring one's safety in the face of the 2012 Armageddon. One store in Jiangsu has sold 2,500 train and ark tickets at 3 RMB each. Another one sold 1,700 Chinese Noah's Ark passes in a month, at 2 RMB each.

船票和影片《2012》中描述的一模一樣。登船時間是2012年12月21日，登船地點是卓明谷碼頭。艙位和座位號也標記在上面。為了讓船票看起來逼真，一些商鋪還引進了售票系統(tǒng)，允許客戶在船票上鍵入他們的名字，國籍和其他信息.

This is the same information that is talked about in the movie 2012– the boarding time, which is midnight on December 21st 2012, and the boarding place, at Zhuo Ming Gu dock.. Cabin seats and ticket numbers have also been included. To make the tickets look real, some stores have introduced ticketing systems that allow the customers to enter their name, nationality and other information on their tickets.

除了船票之外，人們還購買其他搞笑的生存物件，比如急救藥箱，救援繩索，急診醫(yī)藥包等。大家都在以別出心裁的方式來迎接2012的到來，你怎么看呢？

Besides the tickets, people are queuing up to purchase other joke survival items such as earthquake first aid kits, rescue ropes, emergency medicine packages and so on. People use this innovative way to welcome 2012. What is your opinion?
