ESL露西的一天 第50期:乘坐公共交通工具去上班(1)(在线收听

 I like my job but it takes over an hour to get there from my part of town. 我喜欢我的工作,但从我这边到那里要花一个多小时。

First, I walk three blocks to the subway station and swipe my monthly pass to get through the turnstile. 首先,我要走三个街区到地铁站,然后刷月票通过旋转门。
I wait on the platform for the first express train. 我在站台上等第一辆特快列车。
I get on and since it's so crowded during the morning hours, there aren't any seats and I stand, holding onto a handrail. 上车之后,因为早高峰时段太挤了,没有座位,我只能抓着扶手站着。
At my stop, I get off and transfer to a second train that will get me to Union Station. 到了我下车的那一站,我下车转乘第二辆火车,去联合车站。
This one isn't as crowded and I manage to find a seat. 这辆车没有那么拥挤,我终于找到一个座位。
When the train gets to Union Station, I get off the train, go up the stairs, and go out of the front exit to the bus stop. 列车到达联合车站时,我下了车,上楼梯,出了前门出口走到公共汽车站。
I get on the B bus to downtown and show my bus pass to the bus driver. 我乘B路公共汽车到市区,向巴士司机出示了公车月票。
I sit down near the front of the bus and when three more people get on board, the driver starts on the route. 我在公共汽车的前面坐了下来,这时又有三个人上车,然后司机发动汽车上路了。
When we get close to my stop, I press the button to signal to the driver that I need to get off and the bus pulls up to the next stop. 快到我下车那一站的时候,我按下按钮,向司机示意我需要下车,然后公交车会停到下一站。
I get off and walk half a block to the building where I work. 我下车,走了半个街区到我工作的地方。
It's a long commute, but I look around every morning and I see that I'm not the only one who has to do it. 通勤时间很长,但我每天早上都环顾四周,发现并不是只有我自己需要这么长时间。
