通勤人員的苦惱

A commuter always looks miserable.He gets up at 6:00 a.m. and eats a quick breakfast. Then he rushes off to the bus stop.He arrives there only to see no bus.When it finally comes,someone always tries to push past him to get in first.He squeezes on at last and finds no more seats.He has to stand with his briefcase between his knees-there is simply no room to put it down.A passenger next to him shoves his elbow in his ribs,step on his toes,or even drops cigarette ashes on him.

一名通勤人員看起來總是很可憐。他早上6點鐘起床，很快吃完早餐。接著他匆忙趕去公車站。他到那里的時候沒有看到公車。最后公車終于來了，某些人總試圖推開他先上車。他最好還是擠上去了，但是沒有座位了。因為沒有地方放公事包，他不得不用膝蓋夾著公事包站著。他旁邊的一個乘客用肘推他的肋，踩到他的腳趾頭，或者甚至還把煙灰彈向他。

The conductor makes his way through the crowd and for tickets.The commuter looks for his ticket and drops everything clumsily.

售票員穿過擁擠的人群在查票。通勤者找票的時候笨拙地把所有東西都掉到地上了。

Finally the commuter reaches his stop.He is already exhausted.

最后，通勤者到站了。他已經(jīng)筋疲力盡了。
