Conversation
A: So, how should we get to the theater?
咱們怎麼去劇院？
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，公共汽車司機總是很無理。而且從來都不按時到達，周圍也沒有什麼人能幫忙。
B: It's not that bad. You probably just had a bad experience once.
沒那麼糟糕吧，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麼點狀況，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，但是得沿着一條線坐三站。然後還得換乘兩次。

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，坐公共汽車怎麼樣？
A: We are already late, so I think we had better take a taxi.
咱們已經晚了，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.
我覺得在交通高峯期，叫出租車不是那麼容易的事，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。
