对话——乘坐火车
(Jenny and Tony are at the train station) Tony: We want to take a train to New York. Ticket agent (A): Regular or express train? Tony: How much time would we save if we took the express? A: About one hour. The next express train arrives in New York at 3:15. Tony: And how much more do we have to pay for the express? A: First class is 24 dollars more, and second class is 15 dollars more. Tony (to Jenny): What do you think? Jenny: As long as we can arrive one hour earlier, I don't mind paying a little extra. Tony: OK. (to A) Then give me two second-class tickets on the express, please. (Tony and Jenny arrive in New York) Jenny: Oh! At last we are in the Big Apple! Now we have to take a subway to get to the Village. Don't we need to buy a subway map? Tony: Yes, but I think we can get it free at the subway station, at the token booth. (At the subway station) Tony: Can I have ten tokens? And also can I get a free subway map? Ticket booth employee (: Sure. Here's a pack of ten tokens, twelve-fifty, and this is your subway map. Tony: Thank you. Jenny: We are going to the East Village. Which train should we take? B: Take the No. 8 train and get off at Astor Place. Tony/Jenny: Thanks a lot. (东尼和珍尼在火车站) 东尼:我们要搭火车去纽约。 售票员:要普通车还是快车? 东尼:如果我们坐快车,可以节省多少时间? 售票员:差不多一个小时。下一班快车在3点15分到达纽约。 东尼:那么坐快车的话,我们要多付多少钱? 售票员:头等票多付24美元,二等票多付15美元。 东尼:(对珍尼)你认为如何? 珍尼:如果能早一个小时到达我不介意多付一些钱。 东尼:好。(对售票员)那么来两张二等快车票。 (东尼和珍尼抵达纽约) 珍尼:啊!我们终于来到纽约!要去乡村的话我们就必须坐地铁。需不需要买一张地铁路线图? 东尼:是的。但我想在地铁车站可能拿到免费的。 (在地铁车站) 东尼:给我来10个代币。另外可否给我一份地铁路线图? 售票员:当然可以。这是一包代币,12.50美元。这是地铁路线图。 东尼:谢谢。 珍尼:我们要去东方村庄该坐哪一列车呢? 售票员:坐8路车,在亚士都站下车。 东尼/珍尼:多谢。 |
