跟艾米莉一起學(xué)口語 第806期:倫敦的紅色巴士

實用句子

Can you tell me where I can catch the number 8 bus, please?

您能不能告訴我8路車在哪兒？

catch有“趕上”的意思

Hurry up or we'll miss it.

快點，不然我們就趕不上了。

miss表示“未趕上；錯過”

We should buy return tickets because they are much cheaper than getting two singles.

我們應(yīng)該買往返票，這樣比兩張單程票要便宜。

Conversation

A: So, how should we get to the theater?

咱們怎么去劇院？

B: Let's take the bus.

坐公共汽車吧。

A: I hate the bus system in London. The bus drivers are rude, the buses are never on time, and there are few people around who can help you.

我討厭倫敦的公交車體系，公共汽車司機(jī)總是很無理。而且從來都不按時到達(dá)，周圍也沒有什么人能幫忙。

B: It's not that bad. You probably just had a bad experience once.

沒那么糟糕吧，大概你以前有過一次很糟的精力，

A: It wasn't just once. Every single time I take the bus, something bad happens to me or to someone else on the bus.

可不止一次，每次我坐公共汽車總會遇到什么點狀況，不是我就是車上的其他人。

B: We could take the subway. But we have to go three stops along the line, and then change trains twice.

那咱們可以去坐地鐵，但是得沿著一條線坐三站。然后還得換乘兩次。

A: Train fares are twice as expensive as the bus fares, too.

地鐵票價可是公共汽車的兩倍呢。

B: If we don't hurry up, we'll miss the show. Shall we take the bus?

如果咱們再不抓緊時間，可是誤了這場演出了，坐公共汽車怎么樣？

A: We are already late, so I think we had better take a taxi.

咱們已經(jīng)晚了，我想最好還是打輛出租車吧。

B: I don't think we'll be able to find a taxi very easily during the rush hour. Let's just take the bus.

我覺得在交通高峰期，叫出租車不是那么容易的事，還是坐公共汽車吧。

A: Fine. Have a look at the timetable to find out when the next one arrives.

好吧。查看時間表，看看下一班幾點到。

B: It looks like it should be here in just a few minutes. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen. I'll even buy your ticket for you.

好像還有幾分鐘就來了，別擔(dān)心不會出什么狀況的，我還可以替你買票。

A: Thanks. That was nice of you.

謝謝，你真好。
