Tweaking the idea of flash mob is flash play, this term means a form of trip in which people find companions quickly through the Internet, and use advanced transportation like airplane to travel to another city together.

把“快闪族”（flash mob）稍作改动后就有了“闪玩”（flash play）这个说法。“闪玩”指的是人们通过网络快速找到同伴，然后通过飞机等快捷的交通工具一起到另一个城市去游玩。

A flash play is usually limited to one day and does not extend overnight. If flash players get along well during the day, they can continue to be together the next day, but that is not considered flash play any more.

“闪玩”的时间通常只限一天，不能过夜。如果“闪玩族”们在这一天中相处得好，第二天还可以一起游玩，但是那样的情况就不能再叫“闪玩”了。

Flash players generally fall into two main groups: Those who like to travel and those who want to network or party.

“闪玩族”的来源主要有两种人：喜欢旅游的人，以及想要交友或者想跟很多人一起玩的人。
