日常吐槽——伦敦的红色巴士

Can you tell me where I can catch the number 8 bus, please?您能不能告诉我8路车在哪儿？catch有“赶上”的意思Hurry up or we'll miss it.快点，不然我们就赶不上了。miss表示“未赶上；错过”We should buy return tickets because they are much  cheaper than getting two singles.我们应该买往返票，这样比两张单程票要便宜。ConversationA: So, how should we get to the theater?咱们怎么去剧院？B: Let's take the bus.坐公共汽车吧。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.我讨厌伦敦的公交车体系，公共汽车司机总是很无理。而且从来都不按时到达，周围也没有什么人能帮忙。B: It's not that bad. You probably just had a bad experience once.没那么糟糕吧，大概你以前有过一次很糟的精力，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，每次我坐公共汽车总会遇到什么点状况，不是我就是车上的其他人。B: We could take the subway. But we have to go three stops along the line, and then change trains twice.那咱们可以去坐地铁，但是得沿着一条线坐三站。然后还得换乘两次。A: Train fares are twice as expensive as the bus fares, too.地铁票价可是公共汽车的两倍呢。B: If we don't hurry up, we'll miss the show. Shall we take the bus?如果咱们再不抓紧时间，可是误了这场演出了，坐公共汽车怎么样？A: We are already late, so I think we had better take a taxi.咱们已经晚了，我想最好还是打辆出租车吧。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.我觉得在交通高峰期，叫出租车不是那么容易的事，还是坐公共汽车吧。A: Fine. Have a look at the timetable to find out when the next one arrives.好吧。查看时间表，看看下一班几点到。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. 好像还有几分钟就来了，别担心不会出什么状况的，我还可以替你买票。A: Thanks. That was nice of you. 谢谢，你真好。
