对话——乘坐火车

caltcasc

(Jenny and Tony are at the train station)
Tony: We want to take a train to New York.
Ticket agent (A): Regular or express train?
Tony: How much time would we save if we took
the express?
A: About one hour. The next express train arrives
in New York at 3:15.
Tony: And how much more do we have to pay for the
express?
A: First class is 24 dollars more, and second class
is 15 dollars more.
Tony (to Jenny)： What do you think?
Jenny: As long as we can arrive one hour earlier,
I don't mind paying a little extra.
Tony: OK. (to A) Then give me two second-class
tickets on the express, please.
(Tony and Jenny arrive in New York)
Jenny: Oh! At last we are in the Big Apple! Now we
have to take a subway to get to the Village. Don't we
need to buy a subway map?
Tony: Yes, but I think we can get it free at the
subway station, at the token booth.
(At the subway station)
Tony: Can I have ten tokens? And also can I get a
free subway map?
Ticket booth employee (: Sure. Here's a pack of
ten tokens, twelve-fifty, and this is your subway map.
Tony: Thank you.
Jenny: We are going to the East Village. Which
train should we take?
B: Take the No. 8 train and get off at Astor Place.
Tony/Jenny: Thanks a lot.


（东尼和珍尼在火车站）
东尼：我们要搭火车去纽约。
售票员：要普通车还是快车？
东尼：如果我们坐快车，可以节省多少时间？
售票员：差不多一个小时。下一班快车在3点15分到达纽约。
东尼：那么坐快车的话，我们要多付多少钱？
售票员：头等票多付24美元，二等票多付15美元。
东尼：（对珍尼）你认为如何？
珍尼：如果能早一个小时到达我不介意多付一些钱。
东尼：好。（对售票员）那么来两张二等快车票。
（东尼和珍尼抵达纽约）
珍尼：啊！我们终于来到纽约！要去乡村的话我们就必须坐地铁。需不需要买一张地铁路线图？
东尼：是的。但我想在地铁车站可能拿到免费的。
（在地铁车站）
东尼：给我来10个代币。另外可否给我一份地铁路线图？
售票员：当然可以。这是一包代币，12.50美元。这是地铁路线图。
东尼：谢谢。
珍尼：我们要去东方村庄该坐哪一列车呢？
售票员：坐8路车，在亚士都站下车。
东尼/珍尼：多谢。
