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。
