近些年來，人們的經濟意識似乎在不斷增強，有人開始替人排隊掙錢，有人幫著指路也要錢。今天咱們就來說說那替人排隊掙錢的“代排族”。

People, usually migrants from rural areas and jobless citizens, are hired to queue up for different types of tickets in large cities in return for a pittance, they are called hired queuers.

代排族，指在大城市里被雇來替別人排隊獲取各類票證，然后從中獲得報酬的那些人，從事這一行業的多為農民工或者無業人員。

You can find them in public places like railway stations and hospitals where people are supposed to queue up for tickets. During the prime time of real estate market, they may also appear at the sales office of new housing development.

代排族可見于任何有多人輪候的場合，如車站、醫院等公共場所。在樓市高峰期，他們還會出現在新樓盤的售樓處。
