公車上的英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)

字號(hào):


    天天坐公共汽車,有沒(méi)有想過(guò)要了解一下公交車上的英語(yǔ)該怎么說(shuō)?不急,我們先來(lái)看一段發(fā)生老外公車上的對(duì)話:
    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
    每次上車的時(shí)候都會(huì)聽到售票員說(shuō):“往后走,往后走,后面有座呢!”當(dāng)然了,口氣可沒(méi)有上面對(duì)話中的那位老外司機(jī)那么客氣。這個(gè)“往后走”就是“Move to the rear of the bus”了。Rear 這個(gè)詞的意思是“后面、背面”,那“In (the) rear of”就是指“在……后面”了。
    2. 不管是刷卡還是買票,這個(gè)坐車的費(fèi)用都可以說(shuō)成是fare。如果想問(wèn)“到……多少錢”,可以這樣問(wèn):I'd like to go to... (目的地). How much is the fare?
    3. Drop it in the box.
    如果要讓你無(wú)人售票汽車上,告訴外國(guó)人把錢扔進(jìn)投幣箱該怎么說(shuō)?Drop 1 yuan or 2 yuan in the box. 千萬(wàn)不要小看英語(yǔ)中小詞的威力,在外國(guó)人的日常口語(yǔ)中經(jīng)常會(huì)用的。
