有報(bào)道稱，2011年北京市的暫住人口比2010年少了60萬。大城市的高房租、高房價(jià)，還有擁堵的交通和激烈的競爭讓不少年輕人都選擇“跳城”。

City hopping describes the situation that some young Chinese are forced to give up jobs in large cities like Shanghai and Beijing and try to settle down in second-or-third-tier cities because of harsh competition at work and increasing living costs.

跳城（city hopping）指中國的一些年輕人因?yàn)榧ち业?a href='http://www.mplz.com.cn/html/269/' target='_blank'>職場競爭和不斷攀升的生活成本而被迫放棄上海、北京等大城市的工作，試圖在二三線城市安頓下來。

For example:

Instead of job hopping, an increasing number of young Chinese are thinking of city hopping, that is, leaving big cities and finding a place in small cities.

越來越多的中國年輕人想的不再是跳槽，而是“跳城”，即，離開大城市，到小城市給自己找位置。
