Chapter 02 乘坐火車
情景對話
Ann: Excuse me, I'd like to buy two tickets to Paris for tonight. Are there any direct trains?
安：打擾一下，請給我兩張今晚去巴黎的車票。有直達列車嗎？
Ticket Agent: Yes, there are tickets left. Please show me your papers.
票務員：是的，有票。請出示您的證件。
Ann: Here you are. By the way, when does the train leave?
安：給你。順便問一下，火車什么時候發車？
Ticket Agent: It leaves at 8: 00 p.m. Please get on train on time.
票務員：晚上八點發車。請按時上車。
?by the way是一個插入語，意為“順便問一下”，表示要換一個話題，常放在句子中間，要用逗號與前后的句子隔開。
Mark: Excuse me. If I take the express to London, how much time can I save?
馬克：打擾一下，如果我乘坐去倫敦的快車，能夠節省多少時間？
Ticket Agent: About one and half an hour. The earliest express train will start within an hour. But the express ticket is a little higher than the regular one.
票務員：大概一個半小時。最早的快車將在一個小時內發車。但是快車的票比普通列車的貴一點。
Mark: Well, as long as I can arrive one hour earlier, I won't mind paying a little extra. Please give me an express ticket. And could you arrange me a window seat?
馬克：嗯，只要能早到一個小時，我不介意多付一點錢。請給我一張快車票。你能給我安排一個靠窗的位置嗎？
Ticket Agent: OK, here is your ticket. Hope you have a good trip.
票務員：好的，這是你的車票，祝您旅途愉快。
?trip作可數名詞，表示“旅途、旅行”的意思，經常用作have a good trip，表示“旅途愉快”。
Mary: How long can I book the train ticket in advance?
瑪麗：我能提前多久訂火車票？
Jack: It's usually one week. You can book it online or at the train station.
杰克：一般是一個星期。你可以在網上或者火車站訂票。
Mary: I'd like to book one online. Can you tell me how to operate?
瑪麗：我想在網上訂票。你能告訴我怎樣操作嗎？
Jack: It's easy. You just need to enter into the official website of the railway department. And then handle it according to the orders.
杰克：很簡單。你只需進入鐵路部門的官方網站，然后再按提示操作就可以了。
?in advance的意思是“提前、預先”，經常放在句尾，相當于before hand, ahead of time。
David: What time will the train arrive at Orleans?
大衛：請問火車什么時候到達奧爾良？
Train attendant: Last stop was Orleans. The broadcast has just announced.
列車員：上一站就是奧爾良。剛才廣播里已經說過了。
David: Oh, my God! I fell asleep just now. I'm afraid I have missed my stop.
大衛：哦，天呀！我剛才睡著了。恐怕我已經坐過站了。
Train attendant: Take it easy. You can get off at this stop; you just missed one stop.
列車員：不要著急。你可以在這一站下車，只過了一站而已。
?arrive at意為“到達”，相同含義的詞組還有arrive in。兩者區別在于：at后接小地點，in后接大地點。
Mark: Wow! There are so many people on the train.
馬克：哇！火車上好多人啊！
Linda: Indeed. Perhaps because it is high season these days; many people would like to go on a trip.
琳達：的確是。也許是因為最近是（旅游）旺季。許多人都想出去旅行。
Mark: Well, maybe. Where are our seats? The numbers are 15A and 15D.
馬克：恩，也許是。我們的座位在哪兒？號碼是15A和15D。
Linda: Let me see. Oh, look! Our seats are over there.
琳達：讓我看看。哦，我們的座位在那里。
?go on a / an+名詞，表示“去做某事”，例如go on a trip / journey（去旅行）、go on a cruise（坐游輪旅游）、go on a picnic（去野餐）。

旅游攻略
火車在歐洲通常是人們出行的首選。和中國一樣，大多歐洲國家的火車票也都需要實名認證。歐洲的火車票大致上可以分為兩種：火車通票和點對點火車票。火車通票是在車票的有效期內不限制乘車的次數和時間。點對點的火車票只能使用一次，又分為點對點的OPEN票和點對點的具體客票兩種，所謂OPEN票是指不限時間和車次，沒有固定座位的火車票；點對點的具體客票只能在規定的時間上車，一般不標注固定的座位，上車自己找座位就座。
根據火車票的材質還可以分為紙質票和電子票兩種。紙質票跟中國的火車票差不多，可以多種渠道購票，還可以郵寄到家里；而電子票可以自己在家打印，且上車的時候不需要換成紙質票，出示電子票即可。
