汉生:乐乐,周五晚上有什么安排? 乐乐:没什么安排。 汉生:那去看话剧吧。繁星剧场现在有一部话剧,听说很有意思。 乐乐:好主意。那个剧场的具体位置在哪儿?我以前好像没听说过。 汉生:在宣武门。 乐乐:宣武门?那么远啊? 汉生:我不是有车嘛,到时候我开车带你过去。 乐乐:好,那先谢谢你了。对了,话剧几点开始啊? 汉生:七点开始。从这里开车过去大概要一个小时。 乐乐:五六点钟正是下班高峰时间,路上肯定很堵。平常一小时的路可能要走两个小时。不如我们坐地铁吧。 汉生:剧场附近倒是有地铁站,就是有点麻烦。得先坐1号线到西单,然后换4号线再坐一站地才能到宣武门。 乐乐:我觉得就算倒一次地铁,用的时间也会比开车少。还是坐地铁吧。 汉生:好,就这么定了。六点钟地铁站,不见不散啊。 HS: Le Le, do you have any plans for Friday night?
LL: No plans yet.
HS: Then let's go watch a play. The Fan Xing Theater is currently staging a play, I heard that it's pretty interesting.
LL: Good idea. Where is this theater located? I haven't heard of it before.
HS: Xuanwumen.
LL: Xuanwumen? That's so far!
HS: Don't you remember that I have a car? I can pick you up when the time comes.
LL: Ok, thank you! Say, what time is the play starting?
HS: The play starts at 7:00 p.m. It's about an hour's drive from here.
LL: But 5:00-6:00 p.m. is the rush hour, people are getting off work. The
traffic will certainly be congested, a regular one hour journey will become a two hour journey. Why don't we take the
subway instead?
HS: There is a
subway nearby the theater, but it's a bit troublesome. To get to Xuanwumen, we have to take Line 1, get off at Xidan, then change to Line 4 and get off at the first stop.
LL: I feel it's better to take the subway. Although we have to change lines, but it's less time consuming than
taking the car.
HS: Sure, it's settled then, we'll meet at the
subway at 6:00 p.m. Be there or be square!
