Steven: Uh, I can see a red double-decker bus. It s the kind of bus you ll see very often in London. In fact I know this bus is from London because I can see the names: Chelsea, Sloan Square, Victoria, Herring Cross. These are all areas in London. Um, so obviously the bus is in London.
我看到的是一辆双层巴士。
它在伦敦随处可见。
事实上，这辆巴士来自伦敦是一目了然的，切尔西，斯隆广场，维多利亚，Herring Cross，这些都是伦敦的地名。
所以这辆车一定是伦敦的。
Todd: OK. Have you ever been on a double-decker bus?
好的，那么你有没有乘坐过双层巴士呢?
Steven: Yeah, yeah, yeah. many times. Many times. When I was younger, you used to get double-decker all over England but now you only tend to see them in the big
cities.
是的，经常。
我小时候，我经常乘坐上层巴士到伦敦的各个地方，但现在只有在大城市才能看到它。
Todd: Oh, really. Mm! How much is the fare?
真的吗!那么双层巴士的费用是多少?
Steven: Well, it depends on the journey. It s..I guess it s not too expensive, but the minimum price you would pay is, for a short journey, is about a pound.
费用多少是由乘坐的距离长短决定的。
我猜想不是很贵，上车要支付的最少车费，也就是短途的车费，是1英镑。
Todd: Mm, yeah, who can you see on the bus? Can you pick out anyone on the bus who looks interesting?
你在这量巴士上看到了什么人?你觉得这辆巴士上有没有
看上去有趣的人?

她依着车门，看上去很无聊。
也许她正要去上班或是去她不想去的地方!
Todd: Is that how you feel on the bus?
你乘坐巴士也是这样的吗?
Steven: Uh, well, no, not really, because I haven t worked in England for a long time, so I haven t taken a bus for a long time.
不，不全是。
因为我很长时间不在英国工作了，所以我很长时间没有乘坐过双层巴士了。
Todd: So, so you re British, do you missing them?
这么说，你是英国人，那你怀念双层巴士吗?
Steven: Um, yes, sometimes. Sometimes.
是的，有时候是的。
