露西的一天 第54期:乘坐公共交通工具去上班講解(4)

Lucy is at the platform and she's waiting "for the first express train." 露西在站臺(tái)上，她正在“等第一輛特快列車”。

Express, "express," here means the train that makes the fewest number of stops. 快車(express)，指的是?？空咀钌俚牧熊嚒?/p>

Express trains, such as in New York, will only stop at some of the subway stations, not at all of them. 特快列車，像在紐約這樣的，只會(huì)在幾個(gè)地鐵站停，不會(huì)所有站都停。

If you want a subway train that stops at all the stations, you would get what we would call a local train. 如果你想乘一輛每站都停的地鐵，你可以乘我們所說(shuō)的普通列車。

This is true especially in New York City; if you look at their map of the subway, 尤其是在紐約;你看一下他們的地鐵地圖，

you will see that some subway trains are express, meaning they make fewer stops. They don't stop at every subway station, and some are local. 會(huì)看到一些地鐵列車是特快列車，這意味著他們會(huì)少停幾站，他們不會(huì)在每個(gè)地鐵站都停，還有一些是普通列車。
