请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

　　长期以来，火车运力不足导致的车票严重短缺(尤其在春运期间)一直是个令人头疼的问题。这种状况因票贩子(scalper)囤积(stockpile)和和高价倒卖(resell at higher prices)火车票而加剧。为此，政府试行并最终在全国范围内实行了火车票实名制(name—basedtrainticket system)。该制度要求乘客在购买火车票和乘坐火车时，需要进行个人真实姓名和身份的登记和验证。该制度对于打击票贩子的违法行为起到了显著的作用，同时对控制铁路沿线上的各种犯罪行为、保障乘客的合法权益也有一定的作用。

　　It has long been a headache that inadequate railway service results in severe ticket shortages notably(especially during the Spring Festival). The situation was worsened as scalpers stockpiled tickets and resold them at higher prices for fat profit margins. For this reason, the name-based train ticket system was piloted and finally implemented nationwide.

　　The system requires passengers to have their real names and identities registered and checked when they buy the train tickets and board trains, which plays a significant role in cracking down on the illegal activities of scalpers. Meanwhile, it also has some effect on reining in various criminal acts and safeguarding passengers' lawful rights and interests.
