地道美語聽力播客894: 乘著輕軌去旅行

　　簡：小心!

　　Gordon: Don’t worry. That’s just a light rail train. The new light rail system shares the road with street traffic.

　　戈登：別擔(dān)心。只不過是一列輕軌火車。新型輕軌火車和街道交通共用道路。

　　Jean: Phew! For a second there I thought we were going to collide with it.

　　簡：唷!過一會兒，我想我們還會遇上它。

　　Gordon: Didn’t you see the operator seated at the front of the train? She watches out for other drivers.

　　戈登：你沒看見坐在火車前面的操作員嗎?她得留心別的司機(jī)。

　　Jean: I didn’t know they have operators. I thought they were automatic.

　　簡：我不知道火車上還有操作員。我還以為是自動的呢。

　　Gordon: No, they’re not like some forms of rapid transit.

　　戈登：不是，他們和別的高速交通不一樣。

　　Jean: I see now that they ride on tracks and are powered by overhead electric lines.

　　簡：我看到火車之所以能在路上飛馳，是因?yàn)槭怯须娮蛹芸站€路給他們充電。

　　Gordon: That’s right.

　　戈登：是的。

　　Jean: I’d like to give light rail a try.

　　簡：我想試試乘坐輕軌火車。

　　Gordon: Really? Well, there’s no time like the present. I’ll take you to the nearest stop. There’s the platform over there.

　　戈登：真的嗎?好，擇日不如撞日，就現(xiàn)在吧。我?guī)闳プ罱囊徽?。那兒就有一個站臺。

　　Jean: But I thought you agreed to give me a ride into the city.

　　簡：可是我還以為你要送我去城里呢。

　　Gordon: And deprive you of a new travel experience? Never!

　　戈登：那不就剝奪了你的全新旅游體驗(yàn)的機(jī)會了嗎?才不!
