公交車上的英語口語

公共汽車是人們常使用的交通工具之一，但是你有沒有想過要了解一下公交車上的`英語該怎麼説?接下來我們來看一段老外在公車上的對話。

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: 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.

下面，我們總結一些公交車上也許會用到英語口語吧。

1. Move to the rear of the bus

每次上車的時候都會聽到售票員説：“往後走，往後走，後面有座呢!”當然了，口氣可沒有上面對話中的那位老外司機那麼客氣。這個“往後走”就是“Move to the rear of the bus”了。Rear 這個詞的意思是“後面、背面”，那“In rear of”就是指“在……後面”了。

2. 不管是刷卡還是買票，這個坐車的費用都可以説成是fare。如果想問“到……多少錢”，可以這樣問：I'd like to go to... . How much is the fare?

3. Drop it in the box.

如果要讓你無人售票汽車上，告訴外國人把錢扔進投幣箱該怎麼説?Drop 1 yuan or 2 yuan in the box. 千萬不要小看英語中小詞的威力，在外國人的日常口語中經常會用的。
