BBC地道英語口語:Cab 出租車
Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo.
Jean: And I’m Jean.
Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your English text book.
Jean: 學習英式英語非常重要的一部分就是要學習他們日常使用的英語口語，而且這些英語的通俗說法並不是經常能在書本上學到的。那Jo，我們今天要學的英語口語詞是什麼呢？
Jo: Today’s new word is ‘cab’ – C.A.B. – cab.
Jean: Cab. Cab 是什麼意思呢？
Jo: A cab is a taxi. That’s it!
Jean: 知道了，cab就是出租車的意思。
Jo: Yes. You could say ‘I took a cab to the airport.’
Jean: 就是說“我打車到的機場”。
Jo: yes. A cab is a taxi.

A: Oh no! It’s raining! We’ll get wet!
B: Well, let’s call a cab, then.
A: How are we going to get home tonight?
B: Why don’t we take a cab?
Jo: I like travelling by cab.
Jean: Why?
Jo: Well, cabs take you exactly where you want to go, and you don’t have to wait too long for a cab.
Jean: But cabs are more expensive.
Jo: That’s true. But if I have the money, I prefer a cab to the bus or train.
Jean: Me too. 好了，讓我們再回顧一下吧，今天的新英語口語詞就是Cab，就是出租車taxi的意思。Well, it looks like we need to finish.
Jo: Yes, that’s it for today. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
Jean: See you next time.
