“呜~~呜~~咔嚓咔嚓~~” 我们在国外旅行时,除了经常乘坐的公交、地铁、出租车等市内交通工具,在跨城或跨省的旅行中,火车也是乘坐频率很高、且充满着文艺情调的交通工具。
在火车上,伴着轮组与轨道摩擦而发出有节奏地声响,我们既能一路欣赏如画般的沿途美景、放松心情;也能在一段不短的行程中,与萍水相逢的同行者展开一次“不问过往、不问将来”的会心交流。
有一种旅行,不在乎目的地,而在乎行程中的每一次遇见。 今天,就跟着小译一起来学习在国外乘坐火车常用到的口语吧~ Travelling by Train 乘火车旅行 乘火车常用单词短语 train [treɪn] 火车 conductor [kən'dʌktə] 售票员 whistle ['wisl] 汽笛 platform ['plætfɔ:m] 站台 ticket window 售票处 local train 慢车 express [ɪkˈspres] 快车 the tourist train 旅游列车 carriage [ˈkærɪdʒ] 车厢 luggage [ˈlʌgɪdʒ] 行李 luggage rack [ræk] 行李架 cushion [ˈkʊʃn] 衬垫 cushioned seats 软座 ordinary seats 硬座 berth [bɜ:θ] 卧铺 sleeper [ˈslipɚ] 卧铺车厢 cushioned berth 软卧 ordinary berth 硬卧 dining car 餐车 vacant [ˈveɪkənt] 空闲的 stopover [ˈstɒpəʊvə(r)]= layover [ˈleɪəʊvə(r)] 中途短暂停留 乘火车常用表达 1、不知道售票处在哪,可以问: Would you tell me where is the booking office?
