英語情景教學實戰:紐約市的地鐵

There are subway systems in several cities in the US. New York City has an extensive and rather complicated rapid transit system. Each train is designated by a letter or a number, but most New Yorkers refer to them by such names as the Broadway Local and the 6th Avenue Express. It is important to remember that both local and express trains operate on some lines. You must have a token or, in some cases, the exact change to get on the platforms. Subway maps are available at most token booths.
在美國，很多城市都有地鐵系統。紐約市有一個大規模，相當複雜的快速運輸系統。每輛火車都有指定的字母或數字，但是很多紐約人稱呼它們例如Broadway Local和the 6th Avenue Express等。記住一些線上的當地火車和快車是很重要的。你必須有代幣，或者一些情況下，要有零錢買票上站臺。在很多代幣小攤都有賣地鐵地圖。
