All 3,400 passengers decided to collectively protest the installation of the THAAD missile defense system by not setting foot on the South Korean resort island of Jeju, Shanghaiist reports.
据上海人网站报道，日前一艘国际邮轮抵达韩国济州岛时，船上3400名游客集体拒绝下船，以此来抵制韩国部署萨德的行为。
For Seoul, the U.S.-backed THAAD missile defense system is a necessary tool to help defend itself from a missile threat from Pyongyang. Beijing, for its part, sees the structure as a threat to its own national security.
对于韩国来说，部署美国支持的萨德反导系统，是对抗来自朝鲜导弹威胁的必要措施。就中国而言，萨德的部署无疑对国内安全造成了严重威胁。
Tour guides with 80 tour buses were left waiting on the island that was previously a favorite Chinese tourist destination.
在此事件之前，济州岛是很多中国游客向往的旅游地点。现如今，码头上虽有80余台观光大巴在等候，但却无一人下船。
South Korean customs officials and even the Costa Serena cruise ship's captain were surprised by the action.
韩国海关人员以及科斯塔塞雷娜游轮的船长对此举动也感到颇为震惊。

For four hours, the Chinese tourists remained idle before the ship went on to their next destination: Tianjin.
拒下游轮期间，船上的中国游客始终待在船上。四个小时之后，游轮发动，开往下一站--天津。
The travelers were reportedly on a reward trip organized by a Chinese company. The ship had earlier departed from Fukuoka in Japan before arriving at Jeju.
据悉，这些游客全部来自中国一家企业组织的奖励观光团。该游轮在到达济州岛之前，是从日本福冈出发的。
Netizens applauded the supposedly "patriotic gesture." A widely thumbed up Weibo comment read: "When the Chinese people stand up together, it is a formidable sight."
网友们纷纷为游客们的爱国行为拍手称赞。一条点赞数最高的微博这样写道：“中国人一旦团结起来是非常可怕的。”
Following the incident, the Italian cruise ship firm also canceled two other Jeju stops scheduled in the middle of March to the end of June.
此事之后，意大利的一家邮轮公司也取消了两次济州岛停靠，其行程时间预计在三月中旬到六月底。
So far, there have been 26 canceled visits in total, which is equivalent to 120,000 Chinese tourists not traveling to the island this year.
到目前为止，该游轮公司在济州岛的停靠计划全部取消，总班次为26次，相当于给济州岛少带来了12万人次的中国游客。
Other cruise ship companies have also followed suit, with Royal Caribbean Cruises and Carnival Corp's Costa Cruises and Princess Cruises cutting their stops at all South Korean ports.
其他诸如 皇家加勒比邮轮、嘉年华集团科斯塔邮轮、公主邮轮等邮轮公司也都已经取消了韩国港口的停靠。
