Mary: Oh! We're stuck in a traffic jam. 哦!我們被卡在車陣中了。 Driver: The traffic's always heavy at this time of day. 每天這個時候車總是很多。 Mary: This is just great! Is there any way we can get out of here? 真倒楣!我們有辦法離開這裡嗎? Driver: I'm afraid there's nothing we can do but wait. 恐怕我們除了等之外,沒別的辦法。 Mary: Oh, it's hopeless. I'm sure I'll miss my train. 哦,沒希望了。我確定我會錯過我的火車的。 Driver: Wait a minute! We can turn at the next intersection! I know another road we can take. 等一下!我們可以在下一個十字路口轉彎!我知道我們可以走另一條路。 Mary: Terrific! Is the traffic lighter there? 太棒了!那條路上車比較少嗎? Driver: Yeah. It's a quiet road. But we'll go through a tollbooth. That'll cost you a little extra. 沒錯,那條路沒什麼車。但我們會經過一個收費站。你得付點額外的費用。 Mary: So it's a shortcut? 所以那是一條捷徑了? Driver: Yeah. 是的。 |
