We would see lines of people miles and miles long, thousands of cars lining up to get a bag or a box of groceries.
我们会看到人们排着好几英里长的队，成千上万的汽车排着队去取一袋或一盒食品杂货。

Long hundred
The long hundred, great hundred, or twelfty is the "hundred" of six score (120) used in Germanic languages prior to the 15th century. The number was simply described as hundred and translated into Latin in Germanic-speaking countries as centum (Roman numeral c.), but the qualifier "long" is now added because present English uses the word "hundred" almost exclusively to refer to the number of five score (100) instead.
