天天坐公共汽车,有没有想过要了解一下公交车上的英语该怎么说?不急,我们先来看一段发生老外公车上的对话:
bus driver: move to the rear of the bus, please. there’re plenty of seats in the rear. daisy: how much is the fare, please? bus driver: thirty cents. drop it in the box. daisy: does this bus go to washington park? bus driver: take bus no. 9. this is no. 6. daisy: but somebody told me this is the right bus. i’m going to park avenue. bus driver: this is the right bus. i’ll let you off when we get there. daisy: thanks a lot. willie: i’d like a transfer to the 66th street cross-town bus. how much is the fare? bus driver: (giving him a transfer.) there’s no charge for transfers. willie: is it good on any crosstown bus or only on the 66th street crosstown? bus driver: that transfer is only good on the 66th street bus. willie: i’m going to first avenue. is 66th street my best way to get there? bus driver: yes. judy: does this bus go to washington square? bus driver: no, take bus no. 10 across the street. judy: thank you. notes: 1. move to the rear of the bus 每次上车的时候都会听到售票员说:“往后走,往后走,后面有座呢!”当然了,口气可没有上面对话中的那位老外司机那么客气。这个“往后走”就是“move to the rear of the bus”了。rear 这个词的意思是“后面、背面”,那“in (the) rear of”就是指“在……后面”了。 2. 不管是刷卡还是买票,这个坐车的费用都可以说成是fare。如果想问“到……多少钱”,可以这样问:i’d like to go to... (目的地). how much is the fare? 3. drop it in the box. 如果要让你无人售票汽车上,告诉外国人把钱扔进投币箱该怎么说?drop 1 yuan or 2 yuan in the box. 千万不要小看英语中小词的威力,在外国人的日常口语中经常会用的。 |
