The idioms "shoulder to shoulder" and "endless" are both used to describe a lot of people or cars and horses coming and going, very busy and lively, but they have some subtle differences in semantics and usage.
The idiom "shoulder to shoulder" is mainly used to describe a very large number of people, with shoulders and heels close together, with almost no gaps, and can be used to describe very crowded scenes, such as festival fairs, concert scenes, etc. For example: "The Spring Festival temple fair is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and it is very lively." ”
The idiom "endlessly" emphasizes that people or cars and horses pass one after another, and is used to describe the scene of heavy traffic and continuous traffic, such as the streets where vehicles flow endlessly, and tourist attractions that are endless. For example: "During the National Day, Tiananmen Square is full of weaving. ”
