体育美语012讲
Y:遇到奥运会这样的大型体育比赛,一定有很多外国游客,对他们来说,最方便的交通工具是:"Taxi "
出租车是Taxi ,也叫
P Taxicab
Y或者
P Cab。
Y 那么出租车司机就是:
P Taxi driver or cab driver.
Y 叫出租车、打的:
P I need a taxi, I need a cab.
Y 如果你是个Taxi driver,最重要的是把顾客送到他要去的地方,所以你要问清楚:
P "Where do you need to go?" Or more often simply, "Where to?"
Y "Where to?" 很简单。当然,如果能和客人寒喧几句那就更好了。Patrick, 干脆咱俩演示一下,我当司机,你是顾客。
P 好啊。
Hi there.
Y How are you today?
P Fine, thanks.
Y So, Where to?
P: I'd like to go to the Water Cube, you know, where all the Olympic swimming events are taking place.
Y 噢,The Water Cube,水立方。
P Okay, then please take me to水立方。
Y No problem.
(drives away very fast)
P Hey, drive a little more carefully! Is this your first day on the job?
Y 这家伙,他怎么知道今天是我第一次开出租啊?
