《English Translation》

小宝: Brother, I saw on my phone that some people were playing badminton on the highway. That looks so fun! Aren't highways only for driving?
小刚: Yes, Xiaobao. Because the National Day holiday traffic jam was so serious, people got out of their cars to find ways to kill time.
小宝: There was even an uncle who took out a fishing rod and caught a big fish in just three minutes! Did he really fish on the highway?
小刚: Yes, he was very lucky. There happened to be a river under that spot, so he tried, and he caught a fish right away.
小宝: Wow! It's like the highway traffic jam turned into an amusement park.
小刚: Haha, you could say that. But actually, traffic jams make people very anxious. Being able to entertain themselves like this is a way of 'finding joy in hardship.'
小宝: Yeah, that way time passes faster and everyone feels more relaxed.
