早上打车赶火车★★★★★
乘客
The map says twenty minutes, but we have not moved for six.
地图上写二十分钟，可我们有六分钟没动了。
司机
This road is bad before nine. I know another way, but it is longer.
这条路九点以前都堵。我认得另一条，不过路更远。
乘客
Please take it. My train leaves at half past nine, and I cannot be late.
请走那条。我的火车九点半开，我不能迟到。
司机
The station has two doors. Which one do you want?
火车站有两个门。你要哪个？
乘客
The east one, I think. Is that far from the tickets?
应该是东门。离售票处远吗？
司机
No, it is close. The west door is for buses and taxis.
不远，很近。西门是公交和出租车走的。
乘客
Then east. Can you stop right at the corner?
那就东门。能就在拐角停车吗？
司机
I can, but the police stand there in the morning, so I may have to stop ten meters before the door.
能，不过早上警察常站在那儿，所以我可能得提前十米停。
乘客
That is fine. How much more does the long way cost?
那没关系。走远路要多多少钱？
司机
About five. The toll goes on the bill at the end.
大概多五块。过路费最后一起写在单子上。
乘客
Do I get one paper for everything?
能给我一张总的发票吗？
司机
Yes. The app sends it in ten minutes, with the road we took and the time we started.
能。软件十分钟内发给你，走的哪条路、几点出发都在上面。
乘客
Good. My company wants every number, or they will not give the money back.
好。我们公司要每一个数，不然不给我报销。
司机
I know. Half of my morning trips are people going to work with a paper in their hand.
我懂。我早上一半的单子，都是手里拿着纸赶去上班的人。
乘客
Did you work in an office before this?
你以前也在办公室上班？
司机
Eleven years. Now I drive, and I do not sit in one room all day.
上了十一年。现在开车，至少不用一整天关在一个屋里。
乘客
That sounds better for you.
那对你更好些。
司机
On some days, yes. But my back tells me about it at six in the evening.
有的日子是。不过晚上六点，我的背就会提醒我。
乘客
Here we are. Wait, I left my blue bag on the back seat.
到了。等等，我那个蓝包落在后座了。
司机
The one with the black strap? Take it. It is small enough to carry.
黑带子那个？拿走，这么小你拿得动。
乘客
Thank you. There is a phone charger in the pocket, if you need one.
谢谢。口袋里还有个手机充电器，你要就留下。
司机
I will keep it for the next person who forgets one. Have a good trip.
我留着给下一个忘了带的人。路上顺利。
