 平季 shoulder season

去過北京各大旅游景點(diǎn)的人都知道那里的門票是按照旺季和淡季兩個(gè)時(shí)間段定價(jià)的。但其實(shí)在旺季和淡季交替的時(shí)候，有那么一段時(shí)間，游客沒有旺季那么多，卻也不會像淡季時(shí)那么少，似乎將其歸入哪個(gè)季都不是很合適，所以，我們就有了shoulder season（平季）這個(gè)說法。
Shoulder season refers to the time period in between peak/high season and low/off season. Tourism is at middle-of-the-road levels: less than the crowds during peak periods, but more than when visitation drops off during low/off season. In many destinations, spring and fall are considered shoulder seasons.
Shoulder season（平季）指的是介于旺季和淡季之間的那段時(shí)間。在這個(gè)時(shí)期，旅游業(yè)一般處于中間狀態(tài)：游客人數(shù)少于旺季，但又多余淡季。在很多景點(diǎn)，春秋兩季一般被視為平季。
來看個(gè)例句：
The shoulder seasons bring fewer tourists, lower accommodation prices, and surprisingly pleasant trips.
平季的時(shí)候游客少，食宿便宜，而且旅途會意想不到地愉快。
