Makayla: so, how should we go to the theatre?

Gabriel: let's take the bus.

M: I hate the bus system in London! The bus drivers are rude, the buses are never on time, and there are few people around who can help you.

G: it's not that bad. You probably just had a bad experience once.

M: it wasn't just once. Every single time I take the bus, something bad happens to me or to someone else on the bus.

G: we could take the subway, but we'd have to go three stops along one line and then change trains twice.

M: train fares are twice as expensive as the bus fare, too.

G: if we don't hurry up, we'll miss the show. Should we take the bus?

M: we're already late, so I think we had better take a taxi.

G: I don't think we'll be able to find a taxi very easily during hush hours. Let's just take the bus.

M: fine. Have a look at the timetable to find out when the next one arrives.

G: it looks like it should be here in just a few minutes.

M: don't worry. Nothing bad will happen. I'll even buy your ticket for you.

G: thanks, that was nice of you.

M: see, now something good has happened to you on a bus trip!

哎,咱們?cè)趺慈≡?

坐公共汽車(chē)吧.

我討厭倫敦的公共交通體系.公共汽車(chē)司機(jī)總是很粗魯無(wú)禮,汽車(chē)從來(lái)都不按時(shí)到達(dá),周?chē)矝](méi)什么人能幫忙.

沒(méi)那么糟糕吧.大概你你以前有過(guò)一次很糟糕的經(jīng)歷.

可不止一次.每次我坐公共汽車(chē),總會(huì)遇到點(diǎn)什么情況,不是我就是車(chē)上的其他人.

那咱們可以去坐地鐵,但是得沿著一條線坐三站地,然后還得換2次車(chē).

地鐵票價(jià)可是公共汽車(chē)的2倍呢.

如果咱們?cè)俨蛔ゾo時(shí)間,可要誤了這場(chǎng)演出了.坐公共汽車(chē)怎么樣?

咱們已經(jīng)晚了,我想最好還是打車(chē)吧.

我覺(jué)得在交通高峰期叫出租車(chē)不是那么容易的事情.還是坐公交車(chē)去吧.

好吧.查查時(shí)間表,看看下一班車(chē)幾點(diǎn)到.

別擔(dān)心,不會(huì)出什么狀況的.我還可以替你買(mǎi)票.

謝謝,你真好.

看見(jiàn)了吧,這次你坐公交車(chē)好事已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了!
